Comparison of in-phase and opposed-phase T1W gradient echo and T2W fast spin echo dixon chemical shift imaging for the assessment of non-neoplastic, benign neoplastic and malignant marrow lesions
Objective The objective of this study is to compare T1-weighted gradient echo (T1W GrE: control technique) chemical shift imaging (CSI) with T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2W FSE: experimental technique) CSI for differentiating non-neoplastic and neoplastic marrow lesions.

Summary: | Objective
The objective of this study is to compare T1-weighted gradient echo (T1W GrE: control technique) chemical shift imaging (CSI) with T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2W FSE: experimental technique) CSI for differentiating non-neoplastic and neoplastic marrow lesions.
Materials and methods
Patients undergoing MRI for various marrow lesions were investigated with T1W GrE and T2W FSE Dixon CSI. Signal intensity (SI) change between in-phase (IP) and opposed-phase (OP) sequences was calculated, and SI drop > 20% considered to represent non-neoplastic lesions while SI drop |
