From: A whole-body Fast Field-Cycling scanner for clinical molecular imaging studies
Scan of the breasts of a healthy female volunteer obtained by FCSE with FOV of 40 × 20 cm, slice thickness of 1 cm, in-plane resolution of 3 × 3 mm, echo time of 26 ms, and 1 acquisition. (a) Magnitude image obtained from a scan at 0.2 T; the measured signal-to-noise ratio was 113. (b) Dispersion image obtained from the power law exponent of the fitting model (see “Data processing” in the Methods section). (c) NMRD profile of the breast tissues (red), subcutaneous fat (blue) and fibrous tissues (yellow). (d–f) T1 maps at 200 mT, 20 mT and 2 mT respectively.
