BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although the 12-minute 3D fast asymmetric spin-echo
(FASE) protocol for imaging the inner ear has been satisfactory, reducing imaging time to …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR cisternography has been used as the noninvasive
screening tool of the cerebellopontine angle. The purpose of this study was to directly …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The clinical usefulness of MR cisternography of the
cerebellopontine angle, applying 2D or 3D fast spin-echo sequences, has been reported …

High-resolution MR cisternography performed with 3D fast asymmetric spin-echo imaging
(3D fast spin-echo with an ultra-long echo train length and asymmetric Fourier imaging) was …

The aim of the study was to compare the ability of three-dimensional (3D) T2-weighted turbo
spin-echo and gadolinium-enhanced 3D T1-weighted gradient-echo sequences with two …

We evaluated the feasibility of MR cisternography by the balanced fast-field-echo (bFFE)
sequence, comparing with that by a turbo-spin-echo (TSE) sequence, for cerebellopontine …

The 3D fast asymmetric spin echo (FASE) method combines the half-Fourier technique and
3D fast spin echo (FSE) sequence. The advantage of this method is that it maintains the …

High-resolution MR imaging of the inner ear with a heavily T2-weighted 3D fast spin-echo
sequence has been performed successfully at 1.5 T. However, at 3 T, the longer T1 time of …

Purpose: To assess the detectability of the inner ear structures using both 3-dimensional
(3D) balanced fast-field echo (bFFE) and 3D driven equilibrium (DRIVE) sequences in …

In patients with unilateral hearing loss and dizziness it is important to rule out a
cerebellopontine angle process. This is often done by audiological and otoneurological …
