Radiology, 1984•pubs.rsna.orgSimple modification of a spin echo imaging pulse sequence generates useful spectroscopic
information at 0.35 T. New images are produced that show water only, fat only, and the
difference between water and fat intensity. Imaging speed, spatial resolution, and signal-to-
noise ratio are comparable with ordinary imaging. The method provides new parameters for
tissue characterization and improved contrast between some organs.
