Fast single-shot three-dimensional k-space acquisition
(free factor) with balanced turbo field-echo (bTFE) of
the thoracic duct was performed. We compared the
visualization of the thoracicdact among three sequences
(free factor with bTFE, 3D turbo spin-echo sequence, and
conventional bTFE). We divided the thoracic duct into
three segments (upper, middle, and lower). Each segment
was assessed using a five-point scale. We found good
visualization of the thoracic duct using 3D free factor
with bTFE.
