Fast spin-echo triple-echo Dixon: initial clinical experience with a novel pulse sequence for fat-suppressed T2-weighted abdominal MR imaging.
To evaluate a prototype fast spin echo (FSE) triple-echo-Dixon (fTED) technique for breath-hold, fat-suppressed, T2-weighted abdominal imaging. ⋯ FTED is a robust sequence providing breath-hold T2-weighted images with superior fat suppression, excellent image quality, and at least equal depiction of disease compared to conventional breath-hold T2-weighted FRFSE imaging.

Automatic segmentation of intra-abdominal and subcutaneous adipose tissue in 3D whole mouse MRI.
To fully automate intra-abdominal (IAT) and total adipose tissue (TAT) segmentation in mice to replace tedious and subjective manual segmentation. ⋯ The fully automatic method correlates well with manual segmentation and dramatically speeds up segmentation allowing MRI to be used in the anti-obesity drug discovery pipeline.
