Fat and water magnetic resonance imaging.
TLDR
This article reviews the most commonly used techniques for fat suppression and fat–water imaging including 1) chemically selective fat suppression pulses “FAT‐SAT”; 2) spatial‐spectral pulses (water excitation); 3) short inversion time (TI) inversion recovery (STIR) imaging; 4) chemical shift based water–fat separation methods; and finally 5)Fat suppression and balanced steady‐state free precession (SSFP) sequences.Abstract:
A wide variety of fat suppression and water-fat separation methods are used to suppress fat signal and improve visualization of abnormalities. This article reviews the most commonly used techniques for fat suppression and fat-water imaging including 1) chemically selective fat suppression pulses "FAT-SAT"; 2) spatial-spectral pulses (water excitation); 3) short inversion time (TI) inversion recovery (STIR) imaging; 4) chemical shift based water-fat separation methods; and finally 5) fat suppression and balanced steady-state free precession (SSFP) sequences. The basic physical background of these techniques including their specific advantages and disadvantages is given and related to clinical applications. This enables the reader to understand the reasons why some fat suppression methods work better than others in specific clinical settings.read more

TL;DR: 23Na magnetic resonance imaging could have utility in assessing the role of tissue Na+ storage for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in longitudinal studies, and it is suggested that patients with refractory hypertension had increased tissueNa+ content, compared with normotensive controls.

Skeletal muscle mass and quality: Evolution of modern measurement concepts in the context of sarcopenia
TL;DR: The findings show that currently available methods and those in development are capable of non-invasively extending measures from solely ‘mass’ to quality evaluations that promise to close the gaps now recognised between skeletal muscle mass and muscle function, morbidity and mortality.
