Abstract :
The high-pass filtered phase image was able to show calcification as hyperintense areas by using 3T MR equipment with a very strong magnetic field. In a T1-weighted Fast Field Echo (T1FFE) sequence, reduction of scan time is possible by adding a shifted echo parameter, although unwrapping processing technique needs to be improved.
