Multisection fat-water imaging with chemical shift selective presaturation.
Proton chemical shift imaging yielding separate water and lipid images was performed in a multisection mode on a clinical 1.5-T whole-body magnetic resonance imaging unit. Imaging was performed with a minor modification of the standard multisection spin-warp technique: that is, the addition of a sinc pulse or a soft square pulse and a homospoil gradient at the beginning of the pulse sequence. Phantom and human anatomic images are presented.
