ofthe Postoperative Spine : Reduction with Fast Spin - Echo Techniques ’
نویسندگان
چکیده
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three neuroradiologists retrospectively evaluated sagittal T2-weighted conventional spin-echo and FSE images obtained in 15 patients with metallic artifacts from various sources including drill particles from anterior cervical diskectomy, posterior fixalion wires, fixation rods or plates, and an inferior vena cava filter. The amount of artifact present and whether these artifacts affected image interpretation were evaluated.

Characteristics of Spondylotic Myelopathy on 3D Driven-Equilibrium Fast Spin Echo and 2D Fast Spin Echo Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Retrospective Cross-Sectional Study
In patients with spinal stenosis, magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine can be improved by using 3D driven-equilibrium fast spin echo sequences to provide a high-resolution assessment of osseous and ligamentous structures. However, it is not yet clear whether 3D driven-equilibrium fast spin echo sequences adequately evaluate the spinal cord itself. As a result, they are generally sup...
متن کاملComparison of spin-echo MR pulse sequences for imaging of the brain.
PURPOSE To determine the value of the gradient- and spin-echo (GRASE) technique as compared with the fast spin-echo and conventional spin-echo techniques in MR imaging of the brain. METHODS Sixty-six patients with ischemic and neoplastic brain lesions were examined with T2-weighted spin-echo, fast spin-echo, and GRASE sequences. Three independent observers evaluated the contrast characteristi...

PURPOSE To examine the interaction of echo train length and interecho spacing and their effects on image quality and contrast in fast spin-echo sequences of the cervical spine. METHODS Forty-three patients with suspected cervical disk disease were prospectively evaluated with fast spin-echo with varying echo train lengths and interecho spacing. A flow phantom was used to confirm findings rela...

متن کاملGradient-echo MR imaging of the cervical spine: evaluation of extradural disease.
A prospective study was undertaken on 204 consecutive patients comparing low flip angle gradient-echo and T1-weighted spin-echo techniques in the MR evaluation of cervical extradural disease. Four patient groups were studied with varying gradient-echo TEs (6 or 13 msec) and flip angles (10 degrees or 60 degrees). Images were evaluated independently for contrast behavior and anatomy, then direct...
