Two different slices (first row: transverse, second row: coronal) of the images obtained without and with IR on a calibration phantom filled with a sodium solution. In the top images, the PBS tube is on the top left of the calibration phantom, and 5 gels tubes (100, 150, 200, 250, 300 mM of NaCl) are respectively placed on its right. The images are averaged over 2 slices for better visualization. The same range scaling is applied to all the images. The images on the first column (no IR) look therefore saturated in order to allow a better visualization of the low signal in the other images (with IR). Note the more uniform fluid suppression with the WURST inversion pulse than with the rectangular pulse in both the phantom solution (complete suppression) and the PBS (incomplete suppression).
