Thank you Fat Suppression in MR Imaging Ceng Li 2014-10-20 Fat suppression (FS) is used in routine MR imaging for many purposes , but two main indications can be identified. 1, FS is used to suppress the signal from normal adipose tissue to reduce chemical shift artifact , motion artifact or improve visualization of uptake of contrast material. 2, FS is used to detect adipose tissue. Fat characteristics 1, There is a small difference in resonance frequency between lipid and water protons. water - lipid ≈ 3.5 PPM (150Hz/T). 2, The difference in T 1 between adipose tissue and water. 1.0T =150Hu ; 1.5T =225Hz ; 3.0T =420Hz Fat suppression is a generic term that includes various techniques : Chemical shift selective saturation , CHESS Inversion-recovery imaging , STIR CHESS-STIR imaging , FAT-SAT opposed-phase imaging , Dixon Selective water excitation technique Chemical shift selective saturation, CHESS water - lipid ≈ 3.5 PPM (150Hz/T). A frequency-selective saturation radio-frequency pulse with the same resonance frequency as that of lipids is applied to each slice-selection radio-frequency pulse. A homogeneity spoiling gradient pulse is applied immediately after the saturation pulse to dephase the lipid signal. Advantages : 1, FS is lipid specific 2, FS can be used with any imaging sequence 3, FS has higher signal-to-noise ratio 4, Relatively fast Disadvantages : 1, Sensitive to B0 and B1 inhomogeneities 2, Sensitive to the magnetic field strength of B0 3, Low sequence efficiency Inversion-recovery imaging , STIR 1， The difference in T 1 between adipose tissue and water. 1.0T =150Hz ; 1.5T =225Hz ; 3.0T =420Hz 2， after 180 。Inversion pulse ,the T 1 of adipose tissue will recover faster than that of water . 3, 90 。 pulse is applied at the null point of adipose tissue . Advantages : 1, Robust to B0 and B1 inhomogeneities 2, Reliable fat suppression Disadvantages : 1, Only works with PD and T2W 2, Non-specific ; suppresses short T1 species and
