BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A 3D T1-weighted black-blood sequence was recently
shown to improve the detection of contrast-enhancing lesions in the brain in patients with …

The purpose of this study was to determine if administration of gadopentetate dimeglumine
aids in the MR detection of optic nerve lesions in patients with acute optic neuritis and to …

Background: Optic neuritis (ON) is the most common optic neuropathy in young adults. MRI
is reported to have a high sensitivity for ON. Higher signal strengths of MRI may enhance …

O PTIC neuritis is a classic neuroophthalmic disease typically characterized by unilateral
visual loss over several hours to several days. Ipsilateral pain on eye movement may …

The location and extent of an abnormal signal on MRI of the optic nerve affected by optic
neuritis are said to correlate with the severity of initial visual loss and recovery. We used …

Purpose To evaluate the accuracy of diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in comparison to
contrast‐enhanced, fat‐suppressed T1‐weighted imaging (CET1WI) in detecting acute optic …

Introduction‐Serial brain MRIs with and without Gadolinium (Gd)‐DTPA were performed in
acute optic neuritis (ON). Material and methods‐Fifty‐nine untreated patients (44 female) …

Background Contrast-enhanced, fat-suppressed T1-weighted imaging (CET1WI) magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) is quite sensitive in detecting acute optic neuritis (ON), but ON …

• Objective.—Changes in the brain on magnetic resonance images are common in patients
with optic neuritis even when there is no other clinical evidence of multiple sclerosis. The …

Objective: We sought to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3.0 T detects
more brain lesions in acute optic neuritis (ON) than MRI at 1.5 T. Materials and Methods …
