Double inversion recovery (DIR) sequences compared to Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) and T2W sequences in evaluation of Multiple sclerosis by magnetic resonance

comparison of diffuse weighted imaging and fluid attenuation inversion recovery sequences of mri in brain multiple sclerosis plaques detection

purpose: suitable magnetic resonance imaging (mri) techniques from conventional to new devices can help physicians in diagnosis and follow up of multiple sclerosis (ms) patients. the aim of present research was to compare effectiveness of fluid attenuation inversion recovery (flair) sequence of conventional mri and diffuse weighted imaging (dwi) sequence as a new technique in detection of brain...

Comparison of Diffuse Weighted Imaging and Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery Sequences of MRI in Brain Multiple Sclerosis Plaques Detection

OBJECTIVE Suitable magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques from conventional to new devices can help physicians in diagnosis and follow up of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of present research was to compare effectiveness of Fluid Attenuation Inversion Recovery (FLAIR) sequence of conventional MRI and Diffuse Weighted Imaging (DWI) sequence as a new technique in detection of brai...

Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging detects cortical and juxtacortical multiple sclerosis lesions.

BACKGROUND Autopsy studies showed cortical and juxtacortical multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is an advanced magnetic resonance imaging sequence that reveals tissue T2 prolongation with cerebrospinal fluid suppression, allowing detection of superficial brain lesions. OBJECTIVES To assess FLAIR, T1-weighted, and T2-weighted images for detecting lesio...

Utility of Double Inversion Recovery Sequences in MRI

Investigators from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester Minnesota investigated the utility of three-dimensional (3D) double inversion recovery (DIR) sequences in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detection of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) in children and young adults with epilepsy.

Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery now with another acronym: "KRISP FLAIR".
