Improving MEDIC/MERGE/M-ffe and GRE/FFE image quality
Hi,
Sequences with multiple echoes are unfortunately sensitive to motion and flow artifacts, with the mFFE the echoes are still cumulated afterwards. The use of the head-neck coil provides better SNR. Important are good flow compensation, rest slab, try out foldover direction l/r vs. a/p. Shimming may help, synergy is sometimes better as clear, don't take too many slices, but maybe the signal loss is also a technical problem. Problems in the lung region are common. In short, we use 2D T2 TSE with continuous flow comp.

IDEAL sequence help
I was given MRI images of the liver of patients, taken with LMS IDEAL optimized low flip. I need to calculate the pdff. I have 72 images per patient with echotime ranging from 1.2ms to 11.2 ms. How do I identify which is the fat, water OP,IN images?
Thank you so much. and yes I am relative new to MRI imaging.
THANKS!

Contrast in GRE
I have found an explanation of GRE contrast in the book "MRI, The Basics - Ray Hashman Hashemi, William G. Bradley Jr., Christopher J. Lisanti - 3rd Ed. Chapter 20. Gradient Echo: Part I (Basic Principles)". Here is a link with a screenshot https://photos.app.goo.gl/88e2iJ7amEQTWg1r9rnA "> https://photos.app.goo.gl/88e2iJ7amEQTWg1r9rnA "longer TR enhances T1 weighting". And a table in the end of the chapter. But there is a contraversions opinion in other sources. For example, http://www.mri-q.com/spoiled-gre-parameters.html.rnrnThere is described that "The lengthening of TR cause increase PD weighting, and shortening TR increase T1 weighting".

When to shim?
you ask a complex question. Any sequence that is not a standard spin echo can benefit from shimming, but its not always worth it.

If you are scanning a knee in the center of the magnet, or nearly so, you might not see much difference in gradient echo scans, which in general are quite sensitive to shim problems. But if you are doing fat-water separation or fatsat images, you will see a difference even in this example.

Because hardware varies, its hard to say in one blanket statement for every case. For sure, do it on fatsat or fat-water imaging. The next most sensitive studies are off-center imaging such as shoulders. Beyond that, you should experiment a little. Of course, erring on the side of caution is a good idea.

DWI of the prostate
In need of a protocol for the prostate. Our system is a 1.5 GE Signa Excite 12.0 software.
Under the diffusion options screen the only B-value options are 1000,1500, and 2000.
Should Dual Spin Echo option be selected ?
Main question relates to post processing of the DWI to ADC. Under Functool, what is a good threshold # to choose ?
