English translation:fat-suppressed
Explanation:
Fat suppression is used in routine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for many purposes, but two main indications can be identified. First, fat suppression is used to suppress the signal from normal adipose tissue to reduce chemical shift artifact or improve visualization of uptake of contrast material. The second main use is tissue characterization, particularly in adrenal gland tumors, bone marrow infiltration, fatty tumors, and steatosis. It is important to distinguish between these indications because the optimal fat suppression technique depends on the amount of lipid that requires signal suppression. The best techniques for suppressing signal from normal white fat composed of a large proportion of lipid are different from the best techniques for suppressing lipid signal in fatty infiltration or tumors containing a small amount of fat.
