## Abstract An imaging method is presented to measure the water‐diffusion coefficient. The sequence (MISSTEC) uses the simultaneous acquisition of a spin echo and several stimulated echoes with the same intensity except for diffusion weighting. The optimal number of stimulated echoes was calculated

## Abstract The two‐point Dixon method is a proton chemical shift imaging technique that produces separated water‐only and fat‐only images from a dual‐echo acquisition. It is shown how this can be achieved without the usual constraints on the echo times. A signal model considering spectral broadeni
## Abstract An enhancement to Dixon's technique is described which can provide error‐free decomposition of water and fat proton images even in the presence of off‐resonance conditions which result from susceptibility differences, demagnetization, or shim errors. The method uses three measurements w
## Abstract A water and fat separation technique based on a three‐point Dixon method using two‐dimensional (2D) and three‐dimensional (3D) gradient‐echo sequences and a new phase‐unwrapping approach is presented. Using velocity‐compensated sequences, three images, with water and fat protons in phas
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a phased‐array coil‐compatible, fast three‐point Dixon (TPD) technique, and compare its performance in T2‐weighted spine imaging with that of the standard chemical shift selective (CHESS) fat suppression technique. ## Materials and Methods We acquired T2‐weighte
## Abstract A novel two‐point water‐fat imaging method is introduced. In addition to the in‐phase acquisition, water and fat magnetization vectors are sampled at partially‐opposed‐phase (POP) rather than exactly antiparallel as in the original Dixon method. This asymmetric sampling encodes more val
