LAVA Flex
LAVA Flex is a 3D FSPGR imaging technique that
generates water-only, fat-only, in-phase and out-
of-phase echoes out of one single acquisition that
is typically completed in one 20 s breath-hold. The
additional contrasts can aid in differential diagnosis,
like in this case of angiomyolipoma, a tumor with
fat component. LAVA Flex can replace LAVA in the
multi-phase dynamic study of the liver.
