MR imaging of optic neuropathy with extended echo-train acquisition fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE XETA, also known as Cube, is a relatively new 3D FSE sequence that can be used to perform whole-brain FLAIR T2-weighted imaging at isotropic high spatial resolution. This high-resolution volumetric imaging, coupled with both fat and fluid suppression, permits ideal evaluation of optic nerve anatomy and signal intensity; therefore, we hypothesized that XETA FLAIR would be ...
متن کاملQuantitative MR evaluation of intracranial epidermoid tumors by fast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging and echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Quantification of MR can provide objective, accurate criteria for evaluation of a given MR sequence. We quantitatively compared conventional MR sequences with fast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (fast-FLAIR) and echo-planar diffusion-weighted (DW) MR imaging in the examination of intracranial epidermoid tumors. METHODS Eight patients with surgically confirmed intra...
متن کاملFast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery MR of intracranial infections.
PURPOSE To assess the usefulness of fast fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MR sequences in the diagnosis of intracranial infectious diseases. METHODS We compared fast FLAIR images with conventional spin-echo images (T1- and T2-weighted) obtained in 20 patients with infectious diseases (six with encephalitis, five with brain abscesses, three with meningitis, two with meningoencephali...
متن کاملNormal myelination of the pediatric brain imaged with fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE As in adult imaging, FLAIR can be applied to pediatric brain imaging, and this requires an appreciation of the normal pediatric brain appearance by FLAIR imaging. The purpose of this study was to describe the MR appearance of the brain in normal infants and young children as demonstrated by fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MR imaging. METHODS We retrospective...
متن کاملAnalysis of cystic intracranial lesions performed with fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR imaging.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T1-, T2-, and proton density (PD)-weighted sequences are used to characterize the content of cystic intracranial lesions. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR sequences produce T2-weighted images with water signal saturation. Therefore, we attempted to verify whether FLAIR, as compared with conventional techniques, improves the distinction between intracranial c...
