Keywords: Whole Body, Body, liver, kidney, parallel transmission, Dixon imaging
Motivation: Improving the quality of body R2*( T2* ) images by removing transmit field inhomogeneity while utilizing Dixon imaging in body at 3T.
Goal(s): Implementation of Bilateral Orthogonality Generative Acquisitions method for simultaneously obtaining homogeneous R2*( T2* ) and Dixon imaging fro kidney and liver at 3T.
Approach: Bilateral Orthogonality Generative Acquisitions method was improved to include phase effect that enables the use of Dixon Imaging. Multi-echo acquisitions are utilized for R2* estimation.
Results: Implementation of Bilateral Orthogonality Generative Acquisitions method enables the simulataneous R2*( T2* ) and Dixon imaging and eliminates the central brightnening effect.
Impact: Simultaneous homogeneous R2*( T2* ) and Dixon imaging is implemented within same scan time required for Dixon imaging while removing the central brightening effect in body imaging at 3T.
