Abstract：
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES:The authors evaluated whether fast spectroscopic imaging of water and fat resonances can produce high-quality anatomic magnetic resonance (MR) images of rodent tumors and human breast. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Fast MR spectroscopic images of eight rats with mammary tumors were acquired by using a 4.7-T MR unit equipped with self-shielded gradient coils. MR spectroscopic images of four human breasts were acquired with a 1.5-T MR unit. RESULTS:Artifacts due to eddy currents were minimal. Images synthesized from MR spectroscopic data, in which intensity was proportional to water signal peak height, were similar to T2-weighted MR images. Boundaries of rodent mammary tumors are similar but not identical on peak height-weighted and T2-weighted images. MR spectroscopic images of human breast showed improved detail compared to gradient-echo MR images. CONCLUSION:Preliminary results suggest that incorporation of fast MR spectroscopic imaging methods into many standard clinical MR imaging procedures may substantially improve image quality.
