Constructive interference in steady-state/FIESTA-C clinical applications in neuroimaging

J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol. 2011 Apr;55(2):183-90. doi: 10.1111/j.1754-9485.2011.02249.x.

Abstract

High spatial resolution is one of the major problems in neuroimaging, particularly in cranial and spinal nerve imaging. Constructive interference in steady-state/fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition with phase cycling is a robust sequence in imaging the cranial and spinal nerve pathologies. This pictorial review is a concise article about the applications of this sequence in neuroimaging with clinical examples.
