Comparison of conventional fast spin echo, single-shot two-dimensional and three-dimensional half-fourier RARE for T2-weighted female pelvic imaging.

Purpose: To evaluate the usefulness of the three-dimensional half-Fourier RARE sequence in comparison with single-shot two-dimensional half-Fourier RARE and conventional fast spin echo (FSE) for female pelvic imaging.

Materials And Methods: Imaging with all sequences was performed in 146 patients with 166 focal lesions on a 1.5-T system.
