Brachial plexus assessment with three-dimensional isotropic resolution fast spin echo MRI: comparison with conventional MRI at 3.0 T.

Objective: The purpose of our study was to determine whether a three-dimensional (3D) isotropic resolution fast spin echo sequence (FSE-cube) has similar image quality and diagnostic performance to a routine MRI protocol for brachial plexus evaluation in volunteers and symptomatic patients at 3.0 T. Institutional review board approval and written informed consent were guaranteed.

MR imaging of the brachial plexus: comparison between 1.5-T and 3-T MR imaging: preliminary experience.

Objective: To compare 1.5-T and 3-T magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brachial plexus.

Materials And Methods: Institutional review board approval and informed consent were obtained from 30 healthy volunteers and 30 consecutive patients with brachial plexus disturbances.
