| pubmed-article:10913716 | pubmed:abstractText | The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess two breath-hold T(2)-weighted fast spin-echo sequences and two breath-hold inversion recovery fast spin-echo sequences to determine their relative ability to detect and characterize focal hepatic lesions. Fourteen patients with a total of nineteen proven focal hepatic lesions were imaged with two breath-hold T(2)-weighted (T2W) fast spin echo sequences (HASTE TE = 66 and HASTE TE = 120), two breath-hold inversion recovery fast spin echo sequences (IRFSE TE = 64 and IRFSE TE = 95), and a nonbreath-hold T(2)-weighted fast-spin echo sequence (FSE TE = 96-120). Contrast-to-noise ratios (CNRs) were measured for all proven lesions on all sequences. Both IRFSE sequences and the HASTE sequence with TE = 66 showed an improvement in lesion-liver and liver-spleen CNRs compared to the nonbreath-hold T2W sequence. The mean difference in CNR between benign and malignant lesions was largest for the HASTE TE = 120 sequence. These preliminary results suggest that a breath-hold IRFSE sequence (TE = 64 or 95) has an equal ability to detect focal hepatic lesions as a nonbreath-hold T2W FSE sequence (TE = 96-120). The HASTE TE = 120 showed the greatest ability to discriminate between benign and malignant lesions. | lld:pubmed |
