| Abstract | We have developed a new MRI technique that simultaneously acquires both water and fat images in a single acquisition time, and combines the water and fat images to produce chemical-shift free water-fat images. The new technique was implemented on a 3D gradient echo (GRE), and 2D dual-echo spin echo (SE) and GRE imaging sequences at 1.5 Tesla. Binomial spatial-spectral selective Shinnar-Le Roux RF and gradient excitation pulses were used for excitation. In the GRE sequences, the phase-encoding lines in the slice selection direction were interlaced with alternate water and fat excitation separated by half repetition time (TR). For the 2D SE sequences, the water signal was first excited and acquired, followed by fat signal excitation. A non-spectral selective /spl pi/ pulse then refocused the spins and generated the first echo for fat and the second echo for water. The water-only and fat-only images were reconstructed on a workstation where they were realigned and combined to form chemical-shift free images. Results from phantoms and human subjects demonstrated that there were no cross-talk between the water and fat excitation, and the image contrast was the same as the regular sequences. With the chemical shift corrected, shadow artifacts often seen at water and fat boundaries were removed. Since this technique simultaneously provides water-only images showing soft tissue and bone pathology, and water-fat images depicting the anatomy, it could be useful in evaluation of musculoskeletal conditions. The superb selectivity for water signal resulting from this technique may also enhance tumor conspicuity in brain and other organs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
