Table 3.
The signal-to-noise-ratio of the fat signal (peak at 1.3 ppm) presented as mean ± standard deviation for the ex-vivo, in-vivo and the phantom data. p less than 0.05 denotes significant difference in the 1.5-T and 3-T values.
Phantom | Ex-vivo | In-vivo | |
---|---|---|---|
3T | 969.2±1220.6 | 123.5±149.1 | 39.8±29.1 |
1.5T | 521.7±494.1 | 85.5±133.1 | 16.7±13.5 |
p (1.5T vs. 3T) | 0.312 | <0.05 | <0.05 |
