## Abstract Clinical MRI systems use magnetic fields of at least 0.5T to take advantage of the increase in signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) with __B__~0~. Low‐field MRI apparatus is less expensive and offers the potential benefit of improved __T__~1~ contrast between tissues. The poor inherent SNR at lo

## Abstract ## Purpose To compare the abilities of T2‐weighted (T2W) imaging using respiratory‐triggered fast spin‐echo (RT‐FSE), breathhold fast‐recovery FSE (BH‐FRFSE), and BH single‐shot FSE (BH‐SSFSE) sequences without an endorectal coil to detect rectosigmoid carcinomas. ## Materials and Met
## Abstract A fast multislice imaging technique has been developed. RASTER (Rapid Acquisition with Stimulated Echo Refocusing) is based on RARE (Rapid Acquisition with Relaxation Enhancement), and creates multiple spin echoes/each 180° pulse utilizing stimulated echoes, and phase encode each differ
## Abstract It has been shown previously that a significant reduction of the acoustic noise in standard, slow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequences is achieved when the gradient pulses have long sinusoidal ramps. An improvement of this method is now presented for fast gradient echo (FLASH) and
Fast spin-echo sequences was compared with conventional spin-echo sequences at 0.5 Tesla, in 130 patients who attended for routine brain MRI. Artefacts and contrast behaviour of anatomical structures and lesions were assessed visually and quantitatively by contrast-to-noise ratios. The difference be
## Abstract In 49 patients who had pelvic abnormalities, breath‐hold T2‐weighted fast‐recovery (FR)‐fast spin‐echo (FSE) (imaging time = 24 sec) and nonbreath‐hold FSE MR images (2 min 8 sec) were compared qualitatively (on a four‐point scale) and quantitatively (using signal‐to‐noise ratios (SNRs)
