Practical applications of CISS MRI in spine imaging

Publication date: 2019Source: European Journal of Radiology Open, Volume 6Author(s): Zhixi Li, Yingming Amy Chen, Daniel Chow, Jason Talbott, Christine Glastonbury, Vinil ShahAbstractRoutine magnetic resonance imaging evaluation of the spine is often limited by low spatial resolution and artifacts resulting from cerebrospinal fluid pulsation. Balanced steady-state free precession sequences can supplement routine spin echo sequences and provide exquisite anatomic detail and high cerebrospinal fluid-to-soft tissue contrast, adding significant diagnostic value to the evaluation of a wide variety of spine disorders.
