fat saturation

A specialised MRI technique which selectively saturates fat protons before acquiring data, as in standard sequences, to reduce fat signal. The pre-saturation pulse is applied before each slice selection. Fat saturation requires a homogeneous magnetic field and precise frequency calibration.

Axial MR images of the left wrist with T1-weighting and T2-weighting with fat saturation (Figure 1) show a large, infiltrative lesion located deep to the distal carpal tunnel.

Epithelioid sarcoma

However, if frequency-selective fat saturation techniques are used, variations of the regional magnetic field surrounding the seton may create an inhomogeneous magnetic field, with resultant areas of suboptimal fat saturation.

MRI EVALUATION OF PERIANAL FISTULAS

The fat saturation technique, which is routinely used for the T2-weighted images of the modern head and neck MRI, may exaggerate this discrepancy for NIPTs, because the intervening fat involved by the infiltrative lesion can simulate normal adipose tissue whose signal becomes suppressed with fat saturation.
