Motion-robust and blood-suppressed diffusion MR imaging of the liver

Annie Zhang, Diego Hernando, and colleagues have recently developed a novel motion-robust and blood-suppressed diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) sequence. In this study, the DWI method entitled M1‐optimized diffusion imaging (MODI) was proposed to acquire motion‐robust, blood‐suppressed liver DWI with optimized (ie: minimum TE) diffusion encoding waveforms. The proposed diffusion gradient waveforms are also designed to satisfy …

ISMRM Workshop on MRI of Obesity & Metabolic Disorders

OVERVIEW Magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy have become widely used to quantify not only fat accumulation in adipose tissue depots, organs, and muscles, but also the molecular substrates, products, and dynamic rates of metabolism and biochemical pathways. As a follow-up to the 2012 ISMRM workshop held in Long Beach, California, on water-fat MRI, the purpose …
