We have developed a sequence for abdominal examination that fat suppressed 3D-T1W by a linear filling order using an adiabatic pulse for frequency selective fat suppression. We simulated the change in fat signal using a linear method and checked the starting point of data filling for the null point using a phantom of different T1 values. We then checked the contrast between the fat signal and liver. After checking by using simulation, a clinical evaluation was done. The change in fat signal was mostly the same after the fourth shot, and we were able to estimate the null point of the fat signal by the following parameters: TR, FA, TFE factor, and shot interval. Consequently, we could control the starting point of data filling in k-space for fat suppression. The contrast between fat and liver was improved because noise was reduced by the linear method. The sequence developed with the linear filling order using frequency selective fat suppression pulse proved to be useful.
