Figure 10b. Sagittal Dixon SSFP imaging of the ankle joint at 3.0 T. Parameters for all images were 256 x 256, 18-cm field of view, and 2-mm-thick sections. (a) Dixon SSFP water image (imaging time, 2:18). (b) Dixon SSFP lipid image. (c) Three-dimensional spoiled GRE image obtained with fat suppression (imaging time, 7:40). Note that the fat suppression is much more homogeneous on the Dixon SSFP image (a) than on the spoiled GRE image obtained with conventional fat suppression (c).
