Wide slab is useful for routine quality control of MRI slice thickness
Although slice thickness accuracy is important for the performance of magnetic resonance imaging systems, long scan times are required to perform reliable measurements. Inclined slabs and wedges are convention...

Fat-subtracted three-dimensional time-of-flight MR angiography of the neck by use of fat-only images with the two-point Dixon technique
For improvement of three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) image quality in the neck, fat-subtracted MRA by use of the two-point Dixon technique was compared with conventio...

Feasibility of MR perfusion-weighted imaging by use of a time-spatial labeling inversion pulse
Perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) by use of arterial spin labeling (ASL) has been introduced to the clinical setting. However, it is not widely available because it requires specialized pulse sequences. Imaging...

MR perfusion imaging by alternate slab width inversion recovery arterial spin labeling (AIRASL): a technique with higher signal-to-noise ratio at 3.0 T
To propose a new arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion-imaging method (alternate slab width inversion recovery ASL: AIRASL) that takes advantage of the qualities of 3.0 T.

Time spatial labeling inversion pulse cerebral MR angiography without subtraction by use of dual inversion recovery background suppression
Time-spatial labeling inversion pulse (time-SLIP), which is a technique of nonenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) based on arterial spin labeling (ASL), is used in various situations. Although subtra...

Fat quantification by use of phase change in dual-echo magnetic resonance imaging
The demand for measurement of visceral fat in medical checkups is increasing because of attention to central obesity. Computed tomography is widely used for this purpose, but carries risks associated with radi...
