The purpose of this study was to compare the image
quality of water-only images generated from a 3D
dual-echo Dixon technique with that of standard fast
spin-echo T1-weighted chemical shift fat-suppressed
images for fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced imaging with
a 1.5-T MR system. In conclusion, compared with standard
T1-weighted fat-suppressed imaging, the Dixon technique
is an effective fat suppression method for
contrast-enhanced neck MRI. The Dixon technique also
seemed to provide better image quality and improvement
in severity of artifacts in the lower region of the
neck.
