Use of solvent suppression technique to enhance changes due to susceptibility variations in magnetic resonance imaging

Magn Reson Med. 1989 Mar;9(3):411-8. doi: 10.1002/mrm.1910090314.

Abstract

This communication describes the use of a binomial pulse sequence designed from solvent suppression in proton spectroscopy to convert the small frequency changes associated with field variations into significant amplitude changes in magnetic resonance images. This technique can be used to demonstrate tissue susceptibility change.
