ChapterIV Usefulness of contrast-enhanced 3D FLAIR for the diagnosis of Leptomeningeal Disease: Comparison of the Added Value of Contrast-Enhanced 3D FLAIR and MPRAGE Sequences in Relation to Conventional Postcontrast T1-weighted Images for the Evaluation of Leptomeningeal Diseases at 3T

Continuously Moving Table Mr Imaging at 3t: a Comparison to 1.5t

INTRODUCTION In the last years, continuously moving table (CMT) acquisition techniques have been developed to efficiently acquire extended Fields of View (FoV). Clinical relevance of these techniques, especially for cancer patients, has been reported [1-3] and CMT acquisitions are used in our daily clinical routine for metastases screening at 1.5T. However, 3T scanners are getting more and more...

Comparison of the added value of contrast-enhanced 3D fluid-attenuated inversion recovery and magnetization-prepared rapid acquisition of gradient echo sequences in relation to conventional postcontrast T1-weighted images for the evaluation of leptomeningeal diseases at 3T.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The usefulness of contrast-enhanced 3D T2-FLAIR MR imaging for the evaluation of leptomeningeal diseases has not been systematically investigated. The purpose of this study was to assess the value added by contrast-enhanced 3D T2-FLAIR and MPRAGE sequences to conventional postcontrast T1-weighted images in the evaluation of leptomeningeal diseases. We also undertook in vi...

Normal findings on brain fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR images at 3T.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR imaging of the brain has become a routine tool for assessing lesions in patients with suspected neurologic disorders. There is growing interest in 3T brain FLAIR MR imaging but little normative data are available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency and topography of cerebral hyperintensities seen with FLA...
