Fatsuppressed
Fatsuppressed refers to a type of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence designed to reduce or eliminate the signal from fat tissue. This technique is crucial in various medical imaging applications where the high signal intensity of fat can obscure or interfere with the visualization of other tissues. By suppressing the fat signal, MRI scans can provide clearer images of specific anatomical structures, pathologies, or physiological processes.
Several methods are employed to achieve fat suppression in MRI. One common technique is chemical shift selective
Fatsuppressed MRI sequences are widely used in neuroimaging to better visualize brain lesions, in musculoskeletal imaging
