The FIESTA 3D



High Resolution Imaging with 3D FIESTA
(Fast Imaging Employing STeady-state Acquisition)

The FIESTA 3D pulse sequence provides excellent high-resolution images of fluid filled structures in very rapid acquisition times. FIESTA employs Ultra Short TR's and TE's for with very fast scan times with outstanding image contrast. This bright fluid sequence uses steady state contrast mechanisms to provide high SNR images with strong signal from fluid while effectively suppressing background tissue. The IAC and MRCP applications are very well suited to this pulse sequence. The Images can be post-processed using Maximum Intensity Projections or Volume Rendering techniques to provide incredible anatomic detail of small structures. The combination of outstanding image contrast, spatial resolution and rapid acquisitions times make 3D FIESTA an exciting imaging technique.
