چکیده
We demonstrated a new scheme for performing the T1-enhanced whole-brain black-blood imaging pulse sequence using motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium prepared 3-dimensional (3D) turbo spin echo (MSDE-TSE) with anti-driven-equilibrium post pulse. The use of an anti-driven-equilibrium pulse considerably improved the T1 contrast of MSDE-TSE black-blood images. This sequence can be used for whole-brain 3D volumetric T1-weighted black-blood imaging and may improve the accuracy of anatomical localization for certain brain lesions.

INTRODUCTION: Motion sensitized driven equilibrium (MSDE) prepared sequence has been proposed for fast black-blood vessel wall imaging (1, 2). Moreover, for detection of different kinds of plaques at the carotid artery wall, MSDE prepared 3D gradient echo sequence, optimized both for T1 and T2 contrasts, was proposed (3). This method allows wider anatomical coverage in short acquisition time co...

INTRODUCTION: Contrast-Enhancement (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising modality for screening of brain metastasis (1). Paramagnetic contrast media exhibits metastatic lesions as hyper-intensities on T1W images. Because blood vessels are also enhanced, it is important to suppress the blood signal in order to reduce potential misdiagnoses (2). Although this can be achieved by a 3...

Introduction In this study, a turbo spin-echo with a motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium (MSDE) sequence was used as an alternative head MR imaging technique for brain metastasis. Post-contrast 3D T1-weighted imaging is routinely used to detect brain metastasis. In those images, high signal intensity of blood vessels is a disturbing factor, since it can be mistaken for enhancement of metastati...

Introduction Post-contrast 3D T1-weighted gradient-echo (GRE) sequences are routinely used to detect brain metastasis. In those images, the high signal intensity of blood vessels is a confounding factor, since it can be mistaken for enhancement of metastatic tumors. Recently, a motion-sensitized driven-equilibrium (MSDE) technique which has been reported to effectively suppress signals from blo...
