Department of Imaging Physics, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA.
Purpose: To develop a flexible fast spin echo (FSE) triple-echo Dixon (FTED) technique.
Methods: An FSE pulse sequence was modified by replacing each readout gradient with three fast-switching bipolar readout gradients with minimal interecho dead time. The corresponding three echoes were used to generate three raw images with relative phase shifts of -θ, 0, and θ between water and fat signals.
Fast spin-echo triple echo dixon: Initial clinical experience with a novel pulse sequence for simultaneous fat-suppressed and nonfat-suppressed T2-weighted spine magnetic resonance imaging.

Purpose: To evaluate a prototype fast spin-echo (FSE) triple-echo Dixon (FTED) technique for T2-weighted spine imaging with and without fat suppression compared to conventional T2-weighted fast recovery (FR) FSE and short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) imaging.
Materials And Methods: Sixty-one patients were referred for spine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) including sagittal FTED (time 2:26), STIR (time 2:42), and T2 FRFSE (time 2:55). Two observers compared STIR and FTED water images and T2 FRFSE and FTED T2 images for overall image quality, fat suppression, anatomic sharpness, motion, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow artifact, susceptibility, and disease depiction.
