1
On T1-weighted imaging conventional SE acquisition technique is still the best choice.
2
No pathologic findings seen on conventional SE T2-weighted images were undetected on fast SE images.
3
Fast SE images may replace conventional SE T2-weighted images in MR imaging of the pelvis.
4
The fast SE examinations were typically three to four times faster than conventional SE T2-weighted examinations.
5
By the proposed method it is possible to accurately determine the cartilage thickness better than with the conventional SE sequences.
6
As a consequence, by the PR method a more precise measurement of cartilage thickness compared with that performed by the conventional SE approach was feasible.
