Our study shows that diagnostic non-contrast abdominal
imaging with T2W, DWI, and T1WI contrast can be performed within an acquisition
time of 10 minutes or less on low-field scanner with higher and lower strength gradients.

of overall image quality for T2WI, DWI, and T1WI on low-field regular gradients,
low-field lower adjusted gradients, and 1.5T scanner.

single axial T2WI in the same volunteer imaged on 1.5T, LF-regular, and LF-lower
adjusted gradients.
