Acquisition parameters for the applied MR-sequences (A-F).

Abstract

<p>A) A coronal T1w in and opposed phase Volumetric Interpolated Breath-hold Examination (VIBE) for calculation of the Dixon-based fat-/water-images as well as the μ-map.</p><p>B) An axial, pre-contrast T1w Fast Low Angle Shot (FLASH).</p><p>C) An axial T2w 2D half Fourier acquisition single shot turbo spin echo (HASTE).</p><p>D) An axial diffusion weighted echo planar sequence (EPI DWI) with B values of 0, 500 and 1000 s/mm².</p><p>E) An axial T2w fat saturated turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence in breath-hold.</p><p>F) A dynamic axial T1w VIBE. Four repetitive scans were performed (pre-contrast, arterial phase [20s delay], portal venous phase [60 sec delay], venous phase [100 sec delay]) after i.v.-injection of 0.1 ml/kg body weight Gadobutrol (Gadovist®, Bayer Healthcare, Berlin, Germany).</p><p>G) An axial post-contrast T1w FLASH.</p><p>Acquisition parameters for the applied MR-sequences (A-F).</p
