- fig 1.
Images of a 41-year-old man who presented with blurred vision and headache. The fast-FLAIR imaging parameters were as follows: 9000/119/1 (TR/TE/excitations); acquisition time, 3 min 27 s; field of view, 175 × 280; matrix, 154 × 256. The T1-weighted imaging parameters were as follows: 540/12/1; acquisition time, 2 min 39 s; field of view, 188 × 250; matrix, 144 × 256.
A, Fast-FLAIR image shows an extensive brain stem lesion.
B, Fast-FLAIR image shows that the lesion dramatically improved after surgical treatment of pheochromocytoma.
C, Fast-FLAIR image shows periventricular hyperintensities.
D, Fast-FLAIR image shows that the periventricular hyperintensities also totally resolved after surgery.
E, T1-weighted image shows that the pons was swollen at the begining of the symptoms.
F, T1-weighted image shows that the pons returned to normal size and configuration after surgery.
- fig 2.
Images of a 52-year-old woman who presented with progressive headaches.
A, Fast-FLAIR image shows a brain stem lesion (left) and that the brain stem lesion resolved after treatment for hypertension (right).
B, Fast-FLAIR image shows periventricular hyperintensities (left) and that the periventricular hyperintensities decreased considerably after treatment (right).
