FIG 1. Axial FSE T2-weighted images of the canine spinal cord obtained at the T4 level (acquisition, 1; TR/TE/flip angle, 1150/110/90°; TSE factor, 35; bandwidth, 375.6 Hz; matrix, 256 x 256 with 90% Fourier in phase [90% image]; section thickness, 3 mm; spatial resolution, 0.62 mm x 0.62 mm and FOV, 16 cm with a reduced field of view [RFOV] of 80% obtained with the endospinal coil [left] and a surface coil [right]). Note the presence of higher cord signal intensity in the endospinal coil images. Arrow denotes artifact from the endospinal coil.
