Abstract

Dixon sequences are established as a reliable MRI technique that can be used for problem-solving in the assessment of bone marrow lesions. Unlike other fat suppression methods, Dixon techniques rely on the difference in resonance frequency between fat and water and in a single acquisition, fat only, water only, in-phase and out-of-phase images are acquired. This gives Dixon techniques the unique ability to quantify the amount of fat within a bone lesion, allowing discrimination between marrow-infiltrating and non-marrow-infiltrating lesions such as focal nodular marrow hyperplasia. Dixon can be used with gradient echo and spin echo techniques, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional imaging. Another advantage is its rapid acquisition time, especially when using traditional two-point Dixon gradient echo sequences. Overall, Dixon is a robust fat suppression method that can also be used with intravenous contrast agents. After reviewing the available literature, we would like to advocate the implementation of additional Dixon sequences as a problem-solving tool during the assessment of bone marrow pathology.
