The amount and distribution of adipose tissue are important risk factors for different diseases. We present here a novel method with intrinsic water suppression (water-suppressed transition into driven equilibrium [TIDE]) and its application to healthy volunteers for fat volume and distribution evaluations. Water-suppressed TIDE revealed high image quality without artifacts, high signal-to-noise ratio of fat, and excellent suppression of water tissues, with an acquisition time of approximately 0.6 s/slice. Water-suppressed TIDE is a powerful tool for simple quantification of adipose tissue.
脂肪组织的数量和分布是不同疾病的重要风险因素。我们在此介绍一种具有固有水抑制功能的新方法(水抑制过渡到驱动平衡 [TIDE])及其在健康志愿者中用于脂肪体积和分布评估的应用。水抑制TIDE显示出无伪影的高图像质量、高的脂肪信噪比以及对水组织的出色抑制,采集时间约为0.6秒/层。水抑制TIDE是一种用于简单定量脂肪组织的强大工具。
