Objective: To evaluate the influence of high-resolution imaging obtainable with the higher field strength of 3.0 T on the visualization of the brain nerves in the posterior fossa.

Methods: In total, 20 nerves were investigated on MRI of 12 volunteers each and selected for comparison, respectively, with the FSE sequences with 5 mm and 2 mm section thicknesses and gradient recalled echo (GRE) sequences acquired with a 3.

Objective: To evaluate the anatomical characteristics and patterns of neurovascular compression in patients suffering trigeminal neuralgia, using 3D high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging methods and fusion technologies.

Methods: The analysis of the anatomy of the facial nerve, brain stem and the vascular structures related to this nerve was made in 100 consecutive patients for TN. 3D high resolution MRI studies (3D SPGR, T1 enhanced 3D MP-RAGE and T2/T1 3D FIESTA) simultaneous visualization were used to assessed using the software 3D DOCTOR.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the anatomical features and patterns of neurovascular compression (NVC) in patients with trigeminal neuralgia (TN) using advanced 3D high-resolution MRI imaging techniques.
  • Researchers examined 100 TN patients, discovering that 93% had NVC sites near the brain stem, predominantly involving the superior cerebellar artery and other vessels.
  • The findings highlight the effectiveness of 3D MRI methods in diagnosing and understanding the anatomical causes of TN, potentially guiding treatment strategies.
