T2‐weighted spine imaging with a fast three‐point dixon technique: Comparison with chemical shift selective fat suppression

To develop a phased‐array coil‐compatible, fast three‐point Dixon (TPD) technique, and compare its performance in T2‐weighted spine imaging with that of the standard chemical shift selective (CHESS) fat suppression technique.
