Quantitative
assessment of the quality of fat suppression in breast MRI with four
different techniques, conventional quick fat (QFS), spectrally selective
adiabatic inversion recovery (SPAIR), water only excitation (WE) and two
point dixon (2PT DIXON) was made at 3.0T. The result demonstrates similar but
inferior performance for QFS, SPAIR and WE. While 2PT DIXON is shown to
provide superior fat suppression, further development is needed.
