Our purpose was to analyze and compare the image quality and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of different fast T1- and T2-weighted sequences with conventional spin-echo sequences in renal MRI. Twenty-three patients with focal renal lesions were examined with a T2-weighted ultrafast turbo spin-echo (UTSE) sequence with and without frequency selective fat suppression (SPIR), a combined gradient-and-spin-echo sequence (GraSE), and a conventional spin-echo sequence (SE). In addition, T1-weighted images were obtained pre- and postcontrast, using a fast spin-echo sequence (TSE) with and without SPIR and the conventional SE sequence. Among the T2-weighted images, the highest CNR and the best image quality were obtained with the UTSE sequence, followed by the fat-suppressed UTSE sequence. GraSE and conventional SE sequences showed a significantly lower CNR and image quality (p < 0.05). The T1-weighted sequences did not show significant differences, in either precontrast or postcontrast measurements. T2-weighted UTSE with and without fat suppression combined excellent image quality and high CNR for imaging and detection of renal lesions. The T1-weighted fast sequences provided no alternative to the gradient-echo or to the conventional SE sequences. The results of this systematic study suggest the use of T2-weighted fast techniques for improved diagnostic accuracy of renal MRI.
