AI Article Synopsis
- MRI techniques with shorter acquisition times include fast spin echo and fast FLAIR, which offer comparable images to traditional methods but need more validation.
- Faster imaging techniques like turbogradient spin echo and echo planar imaging help in capturing images of uncooperative patients and reducing motion artifacts, though they might compromise on image quality.
- While fast spin echo is widely accepted for clinical diagnosis, additional research is necessary to fully understand the benefits of the faster imaging methods for evaluating multiple sclerosis.
Article Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods with shorter acquisition times are considered. Fast spin echo sequences allow faster scanning with images comparable with conventional spin echo. Fast fluid attenuated inversion recovery (fast FLAIR) may provide a more complete picture of multiple sclerosis evolution, but more validation studies are still needed. Faster imaging methods, such as turbogradient spin echo and echo planar imaging, have marked advantages for uncooperative patients for diagnostic purposes and reduced motion related artifacts but may involve sacrifices of signal to noise, contrast, spatial resolution, and image quality. All methods are useful for clinical diagnosis, with fast spin echo generally accepted as equivalent to conventional spin echo. For quantitative evaluation in multiple sclerosis, further work is needed to define the utility of the faster and ultrafast methods.
