Comparison of 3D FLAIR 2D FLAIR and 2D T2-Weighted MR Imaging of Brain Stem Anatomy

摘要

Although 3D FLAIR imaging visualizes detailed structures of the brain stem, it has not been used to evaluate its normal anatomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether 3D FLAIR images can provide more detailed anatomic information of the brain stem than 2D FLAIR and 2D T2WI.
