Abstract:
No single dose of MR contrast agent is optimal or adequate for the evaluation of all types of CNS lesions. This article discusses the fundamental principles and various background suppression techniques for lesion detection and delineation. An understanding of all factors influencing lesion conspicuity is important in deciding the optimal dose, if any, of contrast agent and the technique necessary for the procedure.
