Abstract

Currently, there has been an increase in the use of surgical modalities to treat lymphedema and MR imaging to examine lymphatic vessels. Furthermore, there have been several advancements in the field of MR imaging, from the traditional heavily T2-weighted images to three-dimensional images. Three-dimensional images include spoiled gradient echo images, and numerous advanced techniques have been implemented. Among the fat suppression techniques, mDixon technique has recently been in the spotlight.

림프부종의 수술적 치료는 최근 늘어나고 있으며 그에 따른 림프관 평가를 위해 자기공명영상 획득이 증가하고 있다. 전통적인 T2 강조영상에서부터 삼차원 영상에 이르기까지 많은 발전이 이루어지고 있는 분야이다. 삼차원 영상으로는 spoiled gradient echo 영상이 있고 그 변형기법들이 시행되고 있으며 영상에 필수적인 지방억제기법은 최근 mDixon 기법이 각광받고 있다.
