Lesion load measurements in multiple sclerosis: the effect of incorporating magnetization transfer contrast in fast-FLAIR sequence.

Abstract:

:We compared the ability and reproducibility of a fast fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (fast-FLAIR) sequence with and without a magnetization transfer (MT) pulse for detecting and measuring multiple sclerosis (MS)-related abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from 20 patients. The Contrast-to-Noise ratios between lesions and normal-appearing white matter, lesion numbers, lesion volumes and the variability of such measurements were similar for the two sequences. This suggests that the addition of MT to FLAIR sequences as currently implemented on standard MRI scanners does not improve the detection of MS lesions.

  • Correction of intensity nonuniformity in MR images of any orientation.

    abstract::The specialised radiofrequency (RF) coils used in MRI such as head or surface coils can give rise to marked image intensity nonuniformities. There are two situations in which it is essential to correct this: (1) When a global intensity threshold is used to segment particular tissues; and (2) in proton density images, ...
