Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Liver imaging at 3T is still a challenge due to various difficulties occurring at higher field strength. Aim of the study was to determine the feasibility of liver MRI at 3T, to develop a study protocol for clinical use and to compare intra-individual 1.5T and 3T examinations. Material and Methods: Investigations were done with a 3T Intera System (Philips MS, Best NL) using a SENSE capable, 6 elements synergy cardiac coil. T2 weighted images (TSE) were acquired under respiratory triggering, T1 weighted images (GE) in breath hold. Feasibility testing and development of a comprehensive study protocol was…
