"suppression of fat signal is more uniform and less affected by artifacts than many other techniques 3"
"The sequence was first described by the American physicist William Thomas Dixon (1945-2022) 4 in 1984 2. Unfortunately due to the limitations of MRI technology at that time, the sequence was prone to significant artifacts and was not implemented widely until two decades later when many refinements of the technique were created. Dixon became a Fellow of the International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine in 2007 and was awarded a gold medal in 2013 4."
"can be combined with a variety of weightings (e.g. T1, T2, and proton density) 3"
