  2. T2*-weighted imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T2*-weighted_imaging

    T2*-weighted imaging of the brain 26 weeks after subarachnoid hemorrhage, showing hemosiderin deposits as hypointense areas. [1] T 2 *-weighted imaging is an MRI sequence to quantify observable or effective T 2 (T2* or "T2-star"). In this sequence, hemorrhages and hemosiderin deposits become hypointense. [2]

  3. Cerebrospinal fluid flow MRI - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_Fluid_Flow_MRI

    The study of CSF flow became one of Phase-contrast MRI's major applications. The key to Phase-contrast MRI (PC-MRI) is the use of a bipolar gradient. [4] A bipolar gradient has equal positive and negative magnitudes that are applied for the same time duration.

  4. Inversion recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_recovery

    Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) [2] is an inversion-recovery pulse sequence used to nullify the signal from fluids. For example, it can be used in brain imaging to suppress cerebrospinal fluid so as to bring out periventricular hyperintense lesions, such as multiple sclerosis plaques.

    High signal for paramagnetic substances, such as MRI contrast agents [2] Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences T2 weighted: T2: Measuring spin–spin relaxation by using long TR and TE times Higher signal for more water content [1] Low signal for fat in standard Spine Echo (SE), [1] though not with Fast Spin Echo/Turbo Spin ...

    Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI image demonstrating tumor-related infiltration involving lenticular nuclei (Arrow). Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MRI image demonstrating tumor-related infiltration involving both temporal lobes (Short arrow), and the substantia nigra (Long arrow).

  7. Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion-weighted...

    DWI is most applicable when the tissue of interest is dominated by isotropic water movement e.g. grey matter in the cerebral cortex and major brain nuclei, or in the body—where the diffusion rate appears to be the same when measured along any axis. However, DWI also remains sensitive to T1 and T2 relaxation.

  8. Hyperintensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperintensity

    MRI scans showing hyperintensities. A hyperintensity or T2 hyperintensity is an area of high intensity on types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain of a human or of another mammal that reflect lesions produced largely by demyelination and axonal loss.

  9. Magnetic resonance imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_resonance_imaging

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes inside the body. MRI scanners use strong magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio waves to generate images of the organs in the body.
