NORMAL TISSUE SIGNAL SUPPRESSION BY COMBINATION OF T1 SELECTIVE AND TISSUE SPECIFIC METHODS IN MRI
The MRI with suppression of signals from two or more normal (non-pathological) tissues having differ- ent longitudinal relaxation times T1 was described. Because of this, a tissue contrast picture is simpli- fied and visualization of lesion zones is improved. Multicomponent signal suppression is realized by us- ing in the MRI pulse sequence the combination of inversion-recovery and Dixon methods. It gives the differentiation of tissues both by T1 and chemical shift.
