Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Recently it has been demonstrated that ultrafast MR imaging of the female pelvis is feasible at 3.0 T and leads to a significant reduction of motion artifacts. Aim of this study was to find out if buscopan is still necessary in case of ultrafast MR imaging of the pelvis. Methods: We performed a prospective comparative intraindividual study on 26 patients with 16 benign and 10 malignant pelvic disorders. Patients had ultrafast MRI with a ssh T2-w TSE pulse sequence (3T-FAST: SENSE SF3; Flip angle sweep technique FAS 75°; TR/TE 4933/100 ms; 0.7×1.0×4mm; 39s scan time) of the female pelvis at 3.0T before a…
