Fast Spin- Echo

چکیده
Imaging with T2-weighting is prescribed in nearly every diagnostic imaging protocol, owing to the fact that in many pathologic states, diseased tissue may be distinguished from normal tissue through apparent differences in T2. Conventional T2-weighted imaging carries with it a heavy time cost, however, as a relatively long time must be allowed between acquisitions in order to allow T1 recovery (and thus to avoid T1weighting). Fast spin-echo imaging was designed to take advantage of the "dead time"between successive excitations, allowing true T2 contrast to be obtainedina fraction of the time required for a conventional scan.

Background Access to appropriate images of fetal brain can greatly assist to diagnose of probable abnormalities. The aim of this study was to compare the suitability of T2-True Fast Imaging with Steady State Free Precession (T2-TRUFI), and T2-Half-Fourier Acquisition Single-Shot Turbo Spin-Echo (T2- HASTE( magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to extract the fetal brain using the level set algorithm...
متن کاملProton Density MRI Increases Detection of Cervical Spinal Cord Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Compared with T2-Weighted Fast Spin-Echo.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There is a paucity of literature that supports the Consortium of Multiple Sclerosis Centers guideline that proton density MR imaging is a core spinal cord sequence. We hypothesized that proton density fast spin-echo imaging is superior to T2 fast spin-echo MR imaging for the detection of cervical cord MS lesions. This study compared the detection rate and conspicuity of c...

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...
