What Does STEAM Stand For?
STEAM stands for Stimulated Echo Acquisition Mode
STEAM, or Stimulated Echo Acquisition Mode, is an advanced imaging technique used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that enhances image quality and contrast by utilizing stimulated echoes. This method allows for improved visualization of anatomical structures and can aid in the diagnosis and evaluation of various medical conditions. By optimizing signal acquisition and reducing motion artifacts, STEAM contributes to more accurate and detailed imaging in clinical practice.
