MR T1-weighted inversion recovery imaging in detecting brain metastases: could it replace T1-weighted spin-echo imaging?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE T1-weighted inversion recovery (T1IR) imaging demonstrates higher brain tissue contrast and is more sensitive to contrast enhancement than T1-weighted spin-echo (T1SE) imaging. However, the effectiveness of the 2 imaging sequences in detecting brain metastases has not been studied. The objective of this report was to determine which sequence should be used for detecting b...
متن کاملcomparison of maximum signal intensity of magnevist contrast agent in modified t1 weighted spin echo, t1 weighted fast spin echo and t1 weighted gradient echo sequences
background: nowadays mri examinations have been widely used in clinical applications for many diagnoses. the use of contrast agent in mri improves lesion detection and characterization and causes more accurate diagnosis. objectives: the aim of this study was comparing to optimal dose of magnevist contrast agent in modified t1w se (spin echo), t1w fse (fast spin echo) and t1w gre (gradient ech...
متن کاملMR evaluation of vertebral metastases: T1-weighted, short-inversion-time inversion recovery, fast spin-echo, and inversion-recovery fast spin-echo sequences.
PURPOSE To compare the detectability of vertebral metastatic disease on T1-weighted, short-inversion-time inversion recovery (STIR), fast spin-echo (FSE), fat-saturated FSE, and inversion recovery FSE (IRFSE) MR sequences using percent contrast and contrast-to-noise ratios. METHODS Patients with proved metastatic disease underwent imaging on a 1.5-T MR system with sagittal T1-weighted (800/20...
متن کاملDetection of brain metastases by 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T: comparison between T1-weighted volume isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition and 3-dimensional T1-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging.
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance in the detection of brain metastases between contrast-enhanced T1-weighted volume isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition (T1-VISTA) and 3-dimensional T1-weighted fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-T1-FLAIR) imaging at 3 T. METHODS Two neuroradiologists selected 129 true (metastases) and 70 false (vessels and artifacts) lesio...
متن کاملFull-brain T1 mapping through inversion recovery fast spin echo imaging with time-efficient slice ordering.
Brain T1 mapping has important clinical applications in detecting brain disorders. Conventional T1 mapping techniques are usually based on inversion recovery spin echo (IRSE) imaging or its more time-efficient counterpart inversion recovery fast spin echo (IRFSE) imaging because they can deliver good image quality. Multiple inversion times are required to accurately estimate T1 over a wide rang...
