Abstract | MR gradient systems with higher slew rates and gradient amplitude enable certain forms of imaging that are not practical with older gradient systems. These newer pulse sequences include single shot half-Fourier T2-weighted images and echo planar imaging. More important in MR imaging of the pelvis, these gradient systems benefit more conventional imaging methods such as gadolinium-enhanced 3D MR angiography, dynamic gradient echo contrast-enhanced images, and T2-weighted fast spin echo images, by shortening echo times. For most MR imaging of the pelvis, spatial resolution is paramount, and therefore sequences such as half-Fourier acquisition Turbo spin echo (HASTE) and 3D gadolinium-enhanced dynamic imaging play a less important role than in the upper abdomen. The potential of these techniques for diffusion or perfusion studies in the pelvis has not been explored. |
