## Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging is frequently complicated by the presence of motion and susceptibility gradients. Also, some biologic tissues have short T2s. These problems are particularly troublesome in fast spinβecho (FSE) imaging, in which T2 decay and motion between echoes result in ima

## Abstract Distinguishing between lipid and waterβcontaining tissues is clinically important. Current techniques rely on the chemical shift difference between fat and water resonances or differences in relaxation times of the tissues, or a combination of both. A method is presented for separating
In order to reduce the acquisition time, we compared a three-dimensional multi-shot echo-planar imaging (EPI) sequence with fatsuppression with two widely used sequences, the fat-suppressed gradient echo (GRE) and the proton-density weighted turbo spin-echo (FSE) in imaging the menisci of the knee.
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
