Diagnostic value of 3D fluid attenuated inversion recovery sequence in multiple sclerosis.

CONCLUSION: 3D FLAIR sequences can improve the detection of brain lesions in patients with MS and are even more sensitive in depicting lesions in cortical and infratentorial locations than current dual-echo sequences. The sequence can replace both PD/T2 sequences and mid-sagittal T2 sequences of the corpus callosum. PMID: 24867222 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
