摘要
An algorithm is described for use in chemical shift-based water fat separation to constrain the phase of both species to be equal at an echo time of zero. This constraint is physically reasonable since the initial phase should be a property of the excitation pulse and receiver coil only. The advantages of phase constrained water fat separation, namely, improved noise performance and/or reduced data requirements (fewer echos), are demonstrated in simulations and experiments.
