Zusammenfassung
Purpose: The increase in signal-to-noise (SNR) at 3.0 Tesla allows to either increase spatial resolution or to shorten scan time. In this study we investigated 3.0 T's potential for the development of an ultra-fast T2-weighted TSE pulse sequence (3T-FAST) for MR imaging of the female pelvis. Aim was to find out if this pulse sequence maintained diagnostic image quality as compared to a standard pulse sequence and allowed for clinically useful pelvic MR imaging. Methods: 3T-FAST was designed as single-shot T2-weighted TSE-pulse-sequence which -in order to reduce energy deposition at 3.0T- was combined with SENSE…
