## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate breathhold gradient‐ and spin‐echo (GRASE) T2‐weighted imaging for the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions. ## Materials and Methods Two GRASE sequences with different echo times (75 and 90 msec, GRASE~75~ and GRASE~90~) were compared with res
## Abstract The authors investigated the value of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at 0.5 T for distinguishing adrenal adenomas from adrenal metastases. The series included 23 adrenal adenomas (18 nonhyperfunctioning, five hyperfunctioning) and 23 adrenal metastases from various organs. Adrenal tumo
## Abstract The authors reviewed their 21/2‐year experience with a magnetic resonance (MR) imaging protocol for a 1.5‐T MR imager that included T2‐weighted fat‐suppressed spin‐echo, T1‐weighted breath‐hold gradient‐echo, and serial dynamic gadolinium‐enhanced T1‐weighted gradient‐echo imaging to id
## Abstract An inversion recovery true fast imaging with steady precession (FISP) pulse sequence was developed to carry out fast imaging of the lungs at 0.2 T. Using this sequence, oxygen‐enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) lung imaging was performed on healthy volunteers. The lungs showed signal enha
## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate the role of ferucarbotran‐enhanced dynamic MR imaging using multishot spin‐echo echo‐planar sequence in the evaluation of hemodynamics of focal hepatic lesions. ## Materials and Methods Sixty‐three focal hepatic lesions (24 benign and 39 malignant) from 53 c
