BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: XETA, also known as Cube, is a relatively new 3D FSE
sequence that can be used to perform whole-brain FLAIR T2-weighted imaging at isotropic …

We describe an MRI technique for quantifying optic nerve atrophy resulting from a single
episode of unilateral optic neuritis. We imaged 17 patients, with a median time since onset of …

Background and purpose Evaluating chronic sequelae of optic neuritis, such as optic
neuropathy with or without optic nerve atrophy, can be challenging on whole brain MRI. This …

Objectives We compared the three-dimensional (3D) double inversion recovery (DIR)
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sequence with the coronal two-dimensional (2D) short …

Fast spin-echo (FSE) is a new sequence with acquisition times currently down to one-
sixteenth of those obtained with conventional spin-echo sequences, which allows high …

PURPOSE: To examine the benefits of combined fat-and water-suppressed T2-weighted
magnetic resonance (MR) images in the diagnosis of optic neuritis. MATERIALS AND …

The purpose of this case report is to show the diagnostic potential of diffusion-weighted MR
imaging in establishing the presence of ischemic optic neuropathy (ION). We report the MR …

We read with interest the case report by Mathur et al1 in which they have described an acute
ischemic event in the posterior part of the intraorbital optic nerve consequent to …

High resolution MRI of the anterior visual pathways was evaluated using frequency selective
fat suppressed fast spin echo (FSE) sequences in conjunction with phased array local coils …

OBJECTIVE: To determine if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the optic nerves obtained
during the acute phase can distinguish patients with optic neuritis (ON) from those with …
