Whole-Body MR Imaging in 30 Seconds with Real-Time True FISP and a Continuously Rolling Table Platform: Feasibility Study¹

¹ From the Department of Radiology, University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstrasse 55, D-45122 Essen, Germany (J.B., H.H.Q., T.L., M.G., S.G.R., J.F.D., M.E.L.) and Siemens Medical Systems, Chicago, Ill (G.L.). Received August 18, 2000; revision requested September 26; revision received November 22; accepted December 21. Address correspondence to J.B. (e-mail: joerg.barkhausen@uni-essen.de).

A technique for whole-body magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in only 30 seconds was developed on the basis of a rolling table platform with integrated surface coils and real-time true fast imaging with steady-state precession. In five patients, all hepatic and pulmonary lesions with a diameter exceeding 8 mm were detected by using thoracic and abdominal helical computed tomography as the reference method. Whole-body MR imaging with real-time true fast imaging with steady-state precession is feasible and may be suitable for tumor screening and staging.
