Abstract:
Fourteen patients with disease of the spinal cord were imaged with fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) sequences in which the inversion time was chosen to substantially reduce or null the signal from CSF. Lesions were seen with greater conspicuity than with conventional contrast-enhanced and -unenhanced T1- and T2-weighted sequences in 11 cases.
