Fig. 2.

T1-weighted fat-suppressed images of the breast without contrast agent. Images were obtained using the (a, b) 1.5 T scanner and (c, d) 3.0 T scanner. (a, c) Images acquired with our conventional parameters. (b, d) Images acquired with a higher bandwidth and shorter echo time according to the parameters described in Table 1. The adapted sequences resulted in fewer artifacts at both field strengths.
