Diffusion-presatured STIR for fat suppression during Gadolinium-enhanced MRI at the presence of metal implants

Key Points

This new method enables effective fat suppression while maintaining image contrast in cancer detection.
Phantom scans demonstrate successful fat suppression and contrast enhancement, independent of frequency variations.
The approach combines diffusion preparation with short tau inversion recovery, addressing challenges posed by B0-variations.
This technique may replace time-consuming pre- and post-contrast image subtraction methods, optimizing MRI workflows.

Abstract

Motivation: When imaging near metal typical frequency-based fat suppression fails. T1-based (STIR) fat suppression works well, but unfortunately does not allow T1-weighted imaging such as contrast-enhanced imaging for cancer detection, necessitating post-pre subtractions, which lengthens scan times and is sensitive to motion. Goal(s): A method to enable robust fat suppression during Gadolinium-enhanced MRI at the presence of metal implants (9003). Approach: We combine diffusion preparation and short tau inversion recovery to suppress fat and provide T1 contrast in the presence of B0-variations. Results: Phantom scans show fat suppression and contrast enhancement, independent of frequency. Impact: A new diffusion-presaturated inversion recovery sequence enables contrast-enhanced imaging with fat suppression near metal within a single scan. This technique could replace subtraction of pre- and post-contrast images for fat suppression in applications such as cancer detection near metal.
