Phase sensitive inversion recovery (PSIR) reconstruction
is a commonly used technique for myocardial infarction
detection. Myocardial fat, however, is a potential
source of false positive detections. Direct inclusion of
fat saturation in regular PSIR is not straightforward.
In this work, a phase-sensitive reconstruction technique
is combined with Dixon imaging to achieve
phase-sensitive Dixon IR imaging. This technique can
provide phase sensitive water and fat images without
compromising scan efficiency. In vivo tests demonstrated
its feasibility and advantages over regular PSIR in body
imaging.
