¹ Department of Radiology and Cancer Biology, Nagasaki University School of Dentistry, 1-7-1 Sakamoto, Nagasaki 852-8588, Japan.
² Philips Medical Systems, 2-13-37, Kohnan Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-8507, Japan.

OBJECTIVE. A balanced turbo field-echo (FE) sequence is a balanced steady-state free precession sequence used for achieving rapid and high imaging. We tested whether this imaging technique is applicable to the diagnosis of parotid gland diseases.

CONCLUSION. The balanced turbo FE sequence is a novel alternative MRI technique for the diagnosis of various parotid gland diseases.
