High resolution water and fat imaging is recommended in
animal research to depict detailed tissue structures.
Current multi-gradient-echo unipolar sequences employ
flyback readout gradients, which prolongs the
acquisition time. In this work, a recently proposed
bipolar acquisition is utilized to achieve double the
spatial resolution of the conventional unipolar sequence
during the same acquisition time, allowing clear
identification of adipose tissue structures without
further increase in scan time.
