摘 要:AIM:To compare differences between volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination(VIBE) using two-point Dixon fat-water separation(Dixon-VIBE) and chemically selective fat saturation(FS-VIBE) with magnetic resonance imaging ***:Forty-nine patients were included, who were scanned with two VIBE sequences(Dixon-VIBE and FS-VIBE) in hepatobiliary phase after gadoxetic acid *** evaluations including sharpness of tumor, sharpness of vessels, strength and homogeneity of fat suppression, and artifacts that were scored using a 4-point *** liver-to-lesion contrast was also calculated and ***:Dixon-VIBE with water reconstruction had significantly higher subjective scores than FS-VIBE in strength and homogeneity of fat suppression( 0.0001) but lower scores in sharpness of tumor(P 0.0001), sharpness of vessels(P = 0.0001), and artifacts(P = 0.034).The liver-to-lesion contrast on Dixon-VIBE images was significantly lower than that on FS-VIBE(16.6% ± 9.4% vs 23.9% ± 12.1%, P = 0.0001).CONCLUSION:Dixon-VIBE provides stronger and more homogenous fat suppression than FS-VIBE, while has lower clarity of focal liver lesions in hepatobiliary phase after gadoxetic acid administration.
