Adult Cerebrovascular Disease:Role of Modified Rapid Fluid-Attenuated Inversion-Recovery Sequences AJNR 17:1507-1513, Alexander,J.A.,et al, 1997 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Forty-five infarctions were identified on T2-weighted and fast FLAIR sequences.Lesion size was comparable on the proton density-weighted,fast T2-weighted and fast FLAIR sequences,although lesion conspicuity was superior on the fast FLAIR images in 43(96%)of the lesions.Associated periventricular and pontine hyperintensities were more extensive on the fast FLAIR images.Our modified fast FLAIR technique provided improved conspicuitiy of infarctions and white matter disease as compared with T1, proton density and T2-weighted spin echo images,and a reduced scan time compared with conventional FLAIR sequences in patients with cerebrovascular disease.
