Magnetization transfer, HASTE, and FLAIR imaging.

Abstract:

:Continuous technologic developments and research have increased the clinical applications of MT, HASTE, and FLAIR imaging in neuroradiology. HASTE has become the MR imaging sequence of choice for fetal neuroimaging. Other promising uses, such as for diffusion-weighted imaging, have not been fully exploited. FLAIR has been firmly established as one of the cornerstones of brain imaging; however, post-contrast FLAIR images have not offered a clear advantage over standard T1-weighted images as suggested by early studies. FLAIR imaging with echoplanar acquisition is not considered advantageous, because the decreased imaging times are obtained at the expense of lower sensitivity. For a number of applications, diffusion-weighted imaging has surpassed FLAIR. Nevertheless, FLAIR images may be more sensitive for the detection of acute brain infarction. Recently described methods for the elimination of CSF flow artifacts may lead to improved quality and reliability of FLAIR images for subarachnoid space disease. MT preparation is now routinely incorporated in time-of-flight MR angiography and gradient-echo T2*-weighted spine imaging sequences and provides increased sensitivity for postcontrast MR imaging. These applications may not be advantageous in all clinical settings. MTR analysis offers valuable information for an increasing number of pathologic processes but has not yet gained wide clinical acceptance owing to sophisticated postprocessing and significant intercenter variations. Different modifications of these techniques are being evaluated, and further developments are expected.
