Three-Dimensional Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery Imaging With Isotropic Resolution and Nonselective Adiabatic Inversion Provides Improved Three-Dimensional Visualization and Cerebrospinal Fluid Suppression Compared to Two-Dimensional Flair at 3 Tesla

摘要

ObjectivesIn this investigation, we compare two-dimensional (2D) fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging of the brain to an isotropic three-dimensional (3D) FLAIR technique that uses a modulated refocusing flip angle echo train and parallel imaging with 2D acceleration.
