A magnified region is shown in the lower right corner of each image to illustrate the signal in epicardial fat surrounding the apex of the left ventricle
The phase-modulated 1-(90°)-1 WE-SSFP sequence decreases the fat to myocardium signal ratio and provides a valuable method of differentiating fluid from adipose tissue. All figures are displayed with the same window and level settings.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Rapid phase-modulated water excitation steady-state free precession for fat suppressed cine cardiovascular MR"</p><p>http://www.jcmr-online.com/content/10/1/22</p><p>Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance 2008;10(1):22-22.</p><p>Published online 13 May 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2429911.</p><p></p
