Large FOV ZTE imaging in abdomen on a standard clinical scanner

Silent ZTE imaging with a large FOV and the standard available prepulses to modify the contrast was investigated on standard 1.5T clinical scanners. With an echo time of 60 s and standard B1 limitations, the readout gradient had to be kept low enough to both limit the number of missed samples as well as to excite a FOV of at least 500 mm. We obtained motion compensated; fat-suppressed, T1- and T2-weighted scans in the abdomen. ZTE imaging with a large FOV seems feasible. The limitations of the standard clinical scanner were overcome by using a straight forward sequence adaptation.
