SUMMARY: Conventional imaging protocols are unable to visualize the intraforaminal/canalicular segments of the lower cranial nerves (IX–XII). On the basis of previous successful demonstration of individual cranial nerves within the cavernous sinus by constructive interference in steady-state MR imaging, we describe the use of contrast-enhanced 3D fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition MR imaging to demonstrate normal in vivo intraforaminal and canalicular segments of cranial nerves IX–XII in 10 patients by using a standardized imaging protocol.
