Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) is a magnetic resonance imaging sequence with an inversion recovery set to null fluids. For example, it can be used in brain imaging to suppress cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) effects on the image, so as to bring out the periventricular hyperintense lesions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques.

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a magnetic resonance imaging technique that enables the measurement of the restricted diffusion of water in tissue in order to produce neural tract images instead of using this data solely for the purpose of assigning contrast or colors to pixels in a cross-sectional image.
This list of medical specialty colleges in the United States includes medical societies that represent board certified specialist physicians.The American Medical Association maintains a list of societies represented in its House of Delegates, while the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine maintains a list of osteopathic specialty colleges.
Diffusion-weighted images (DWI): DWI uses the diffusion of water molecules to generate contrast in MR images. Proton density (PD) images: CSF has a relatively high level of protons, making CSF appear bright. Gray matter is brighter than white matter. [27] False color MRI by applying red to T1, green to PD and blue to T2.
Although Alaska, Delaware, and Wyoming are the only states that lack independent medical schools, Delaware is served by the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia through the Delaware Institute of Medical Education and Research, [3] and Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming are all served by the University of ...
Diffuse axonal injury after a motorcycle accident. MRI after 3 days: on T1-weighted images the injury is barely visible. On the FLAIR, DWI and T2*-weighted images a small bleed is identifiable. DAI is difficult to detect since it does not show up well on CT scans or with other macroscopic imaging techniques, though it shows up microscopically. [9]

An MRI pulse sequence in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a particular setting of pulse sequences and pulsed field gradients, resulting in a particular image appearance. [ 1 ] A multiparametric MRI is a combination of two or more sequences, and/or including other specialized MRI configurations such as spectroscopy .
