Fig. 3A —53-year-old woman with palpable nodule on right outer breast
but no MRI correlation. Note that fat suppression, although subtle, is more
uniform on sagittal T2-weighted iterative decomposition of water and fat with
echo asymmetry and least-squares estimation (IDEAL) image (TR/TE, 6,750/98.8)
(A) than on STIR (6,700/70.3) (B) sequence, especially in
adipose areas surrounding glandular tissue (asterisks, B).
This results in insensitivity of IDEAL to B1 inhomogeneities.
