Detailed imaging of abducens nerve anatomy using contrast-enhanced 3D-TOF MR angiography

Cranial nerves (CNs), particularly CN IV and VI are difficult to visualize with conventional MRI techniques, particularly within the cavernous sinus region. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of high-resolution contrast enhanced 3D time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography using new generation 3  T imaging technology to provide detailed visualization of CN VI anatomy, particularly within the cavernous sinus and petroclival regions.
