title: Detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions by T2-weighted imaging: comparison of navigator-triggered turbo spin-echo, breath-hold turbo spin-echo, and HASTE sequences.
abstract: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic performance of T(2)-weighted (T(2)-w) images obtained using navigator-triggered turbo spin-echo (TSE), breath-hold TSE (BH-TSE), and BH haft-Fourier single-shot TSE sequences for the detection and characterization of focal hepatic lesions. Two blinded reviewers independently analyzed three types of T(2)-w image sets totaling 86 solid and 75 nonsolid lesions in 59 patients. Receiver operating characteristic curves were established to analyze reviewer and sequence results.
