Fig. 1A Bar graphs show signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise
ratio (CNR) for 3D fast spin-echo (FSE) extended echo-train acquisition (XETA)
(light gray bars), 2D FSE (white bars), and 2D fast recovery
FSE (FRFSE) (black bars). Asterisks denote significant differences
(p < 0.01). Cartilage SNR for 3D FSE XETA (TR/TEeff,
2,500/38), 2D FSE (TR/TEeff, 4,000/38), and 2D FRFSE
(TR/TEeff, 2,500/38). Cartilage and muscle SNRs are significantly
higher for 3D FSE XETA compared with 2D FSE and 2D FRFSE. Fluid SNR for 2D FSE
is higher than 3D FSE XETA. Fluid SNRs for 2D FRFSE and 3D FSE XETA are not
statistically different.
