Body Imaging------MRCP/MRM

MRCP （Gated） MRM MRCP（SSH）

MRCP SSH(Single-shot Turbo Spin Echoes)

allows rapid evaluation of biliary tract,
pancreatic duct and gall bladder. Because
bile fluid has long relaxation times T2
weighted SSh-TSE sequence can be used
leaving only structures with bile visible.
SSh is especially well suited to heavily T2-
weighted imaging, such as MRCP or CSF. Also
very fast brain scans can be done by SSh-TSE
sequences for instance to avoid motion artifacts .

Musculoskeletal (MSK)

DRIVE (Fast Recovery TSE)

DRIVE is especially advantageous when it is used with 3D Dixon
acquisition. The DRIVE sequence is optimal when the TR Dixon sequences produce three images of
is short (< 3000 ms), the needed slice coverage is small, each slice: fat, water and combined image.
and when the target is close to the center of the magnet and
consists of rather stationary tissues. The maximum number
of slices is fixed to 16.
