Fig. 3
Numerical simulation of the transverse magnetization (Mxy) as function of RF excitation angle and tissue frequency using three different sequences, a FS, b WE, and c LIBRE. The white arrows indicate the bandwidth of fat suppression (around -440 Hz) at a RF excitation angle of 18°. The white and black dashed isolines indicate 10 and 90% of the maximum observed Mxy, respectively. White arrows indicate the fat suppression bandwidth (up to 10% of maximum Mxy) that corresponded to 238 Hz (LIBRE), 128 Hz (FS), and 32 Hz (WE)
