Figure 1. Examples are shown for two patients of the thick slab turbo spin echo sequence. The upper images were acquired at 3.0 Tesla and the lower images at 1.5 Tesla. (a) Improved contrast of the biliary tree relative to background noise at 3.0 Tesla. There is also clearer delineation of the pancreatic duct (arrowheads). (b) Improved continuity in the visualization of the pancreatic duct at 3.0 Tesla (arrowheads), and of the segmental ducts (arrows).
