zero.1-T human fat/water separation by SIDAC.
High-resolution human fat/water separated images were obtained in 17 min at a static magnetic field strength as low as 0.1 T. The sequence used was based on SIDAC (spectroscopic imaging by dephasing amplitude changing), which employs a stepwise changing dephase gradient for the separation of spectral and spatial information of magnetic spins.
