PURPOSETo evaluate use of fast spin-echo (FSE) magnetic resonance imaging with and without fat suppression in the liver and upper abdomen.MATERIALS AND METHODSConventional spin-echo (SE) T2-weighted, FSE T2-weighted, and fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images from 37 patients strongly suspected to have focal hepatic lesions were evaluated.RESULTSQuantitative analysis demonstrated that fat-suppressed FSE imaging had the highest lesion-liver contrast-to-noise ratio; conventional SE imaging, the lowest. In a qualitative analysis, FSE imaging was preferred. In a rank order analysis, FSE imaging was preferred 83% of the time and fat-suppressed FSE imaging 17% of the time as regards overall image quality; fat-suppressed FSE imaging was preferred 64% of the time, FSE imaging 23% of the time, and conventional SE imaging 13% of the time as regards signal abnormality detection.CONCLUSIONFSE imaging with and without fat suppression is a potentially useful pulse sequence for evaluating the upper abdomen.
