STIR T2w, T1w Fast Spin Echo (FSE) and DWI are the most
commonly used sequence in whole body MR today, however,
long scan time has limited its adoption. In this study,
we proposed a fast whole body MR exam that provides 5
contrasts (Fat Sat & non-Fat Sat T1, Fat Sat & non-Fat
Sat T2, DWI) in less time compare to conventional WBI.
This was achieved by using 2-point DIXON techniques in
T2w FSE and T1w LAVA. We also applied streamlined
workflow strategies such as shared prescan and auto
table movement to further reduce the total scan time to
23 min.
