Comparative StudyT2-weighted spin-echo MR imaging of the liver: breath-hold fast spin-echo versus non-breath-hold fast spin-echo images with and without fat suppression.
The goal of our study was to compare a T2-weighted breath-hold fast spin-echo (BHSE) technique with T2-weighted non-breath-hold fast spin-echo techniques for imaging the liver. ⋯ The BHSE technique is quantitatively inferior to non-breath-hold fast spin-echo techniques. However, further studies with a surgical standard of reference are needed to compare the three techniques in terms of sensitivity.

Artifacts in chest radiographs with a third-generation computed radiography system.
Photostimulable phosphor computed radiography (CR) is a developing and increasingly widespread technology. The purpose of this pictorial essay is to familiarize readers with the appearance and cause of image artifacts that can occur in a third-generation computed radiographic system. Artifacts are described that relate to imaging plates, image readers, image processing, and film processing.
