Abstract:
Fast FLAIR (fluid attenuated inversion recovery) is a magnetic resonance imaging technique used primarily for neurological imaging of the brain. This technique uses an advanced software package that employs basic inversion recovery principles to help differentiate between pathology and normal brain parenchyma without interference from high-signal cerebral spinal fluid. This article reviews the applications of fast FLAIR techniques in MR imaging of the brain.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
