Improved focal liver lesion detection: Comparison of single-shot spin-echo echo-planar and superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO)-enhanced MRI

Purpose To prospectively compare single‐shot spin‐echo echo‐planar imaging (SSSE‐EPI) using b = 0, 10, 150, and 400 seconds/mm2 with standard MRI techniques after intravenous super paramagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) in the detection and characterization of focal liver lesions with focus on small (...
