Traumatic Meningeal Enhancement on Post-Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery after Minor Head Trauma

Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images and stroke outcome after thrombolysis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We investigated if hyperintensities on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences in arteries and parenchyma are associated with poor outcome 3 months after thrombolysis. METHODS Consecutive acute stroke patients with known time of symptom onset who had an MRI before and 1 day after thrombolysis were included in this study. Blinded to follow-up imaging and ou...

Contrast-Enhanced FLAIR (Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery) for Evaluating Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

PURPOSE To evaluate whether adding a contrast-enhanced fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequence to routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can detect additional abnormalities in the brains of symptomatic patients with mild traumatic brain injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four patients with persistent symptoms following mild closed head injury were included in our retrospective...

Fast 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...
