Do comparison of multi-echo and single-echo gradient-recalled echo sequences for SPIO-enhanced liver MRI at 3 T?
At 3 T, the T2*-weighted, multi-echo data image combination sequence performs comparably to the T2*-weighted, single-echo GRE sequence for SPIO-enhanced MRI with good overall image quality and a decrease in undesired artefacts.
The present study demonstrates that patients with typical IC symptoms and a cystometric bladder capacity of>/=350 cc, may have increased potassium sensitivity as a sign of IC and show symptom improvement after hyaluronic acid instillation therapy.
