A member asked:
I recieved brain ct scan results they say incomplete fat suppression can some one please explain this. thanks for your reply?

Technical finding: I am going to assume that you had an MRI rather than ct. Incomplete fat suppression has nothing to do with anything in your body or you as a patient. "fat suppression" is a technique used in MRI to make the images appear a certain way. It is often technically difficult to obtain complete suppression so we as radiologists refer to this finding as "incomplete fat suppression." i hope this helps.
