Abstract

This article reviews fundamental principles and sequence techniques that have been used successfully for imaging diseases of the abdomen and pelvis at 1.5 Tesla. This article also introduces concepts and the specific alteration of sequence parameters for optimization of abdominal-pelvic imaging at 3 Tesla.
