Advantages of Fast Recovery Variant for T2-Weighted Fast Spin-Echo Imaging of the Brain
Purpose Fast recovery fast spin-echo (FRFSE) is a new pulse sequence using a driven equilibrium pulse to convert residual transverse magnetization into longitudinal magnetization and has demonstrated improvements in T2-weighted imaging for the spine (1) and the temporal bone (2) predominately related to improvements in fluid contrast. Its possible value for brain imaging has not been tested and...
متن کاملCharacteristics 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 کاملCervical spine: postmortem assessment of accident injuries--comparison of radiographic, MR imaging, anatomic, and pathologic findings.
PURPOSE To assess the ability of postmortem radiography and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to depict occult cervical spine injuries as compared with anatomic and pathologic findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS The cervical spines of 10 adult accident victims underwent radiography and MR imaging, with T1-weighted, fast spin-echo T2-weighted, and four gradient-echo pulse sequences. The frozen speci...

PURPOSE To compare a three-dimensional Fourier transform (3DFT) gradient-echo pulse sequence with magnetization transfer at a short echo time against standard 3DFT gradient-echo technique in the evaluation of cervical spondylosis, specifically addressing the effects of motion and susceptibility artifacts on the dimensions of the neural foramina and contrast at the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)-spin...
متن کاملT1-weighted three-dimensional magnetization transfer MR of the brain: improved lesion contrast enhancement.
PURPOSE We developed and evaluated clinically T1-weighted three-dimensional gradient-echo magnetization transfer (MT) sequences for contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the brain. METHODS A short-repetition-time, radio frequency-spoiled, 3-D sequence was developed with a 10-millisecond MT pulse at high MT power and narrow MT pulse-frequency offset, and the enhancing lesion-to-normal white matter b...
