Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging plays an important role
in the postoperative evaluation of patients. Fluid
sensitive fat-suppressed MR imaging is especially
important in postoperative evaluation. However, metallic
artifacts are inevitable with MR imaging, and these
metallic artifacts are aggravated by using
fat-saturation. We thought the combination of advanced
metal-artifact-reducing MR technique and fat suppression
would be useful in metallic MR imaging. Considering the
advantages of 3T MR imaging of the spine such as an
increase in SNR with optimized diagnostic quality and
improved clinical impact, implementing fat-suppressed
SEMAC-corrected at 3T MR is a major goal in metallic MR
imaging.
