title: [A simplified technic in high-resolution MR tomography of the shoulder: ZEPRA (Zoom of Eccentric Positioned Regions by active Aliasing)].
abstract: A fairly easy method for high-resolution MR imaging of the shoulder is described. The combination of a defined arrangement of the gradients with a small-volume Helmholtz coil provides the possibility of a high zoom of structures apart from the magnet's centre. The maximal achievable zoom factor depends on the ratio of FOV/sensitive coil volume. The ZEPRA method acts by phase-encoded aliasing only. With this technique all interesting soft tissue of the shoulder may readily be visualized in every direction and with every type of sequence.
