BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The double inversion recovery sequence is known to be
very sensitive and specific for MS-related lesions. Our aim was to compare the sensitivity of …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To prospectively determine the sensitivity in the detection
of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions by using double inversion recovery (DIR), fluid-attenuated …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous
system, predominantly affecting the white matter, but also the grey matter. Aim of this study …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MR imaging plays an important role in diagnosing MS and
other related inflammatory diseases; however, imaging of the spinal cord is still challenging …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of double inversion recovery (DIR)
magnetic resonance (MR) sequence in the detection of brain cortical and white matter …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: In brain MRI of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients,
enhancement of the lesions is usually evaluated in early contrast-enhanced T1-weighted …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare a highly-accelerated double inversion
recovery (fast-DIR) sequence using a recent parallel imaging technique (CAIPIRINHA) with …

Background Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous
system. MRI has an important role in early diagnosis of MS within diagnostic criteria. Aim To …

Abstract Background and Purpose Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a key role in
diagnosing and monitoring multiple sclerosis (MS). Double inversion recovery (DIR) is a …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Gadolinium enhanced MRI is routinely used for follow-up
of patients with multiple sclerosis. Our aim was to evaluate whether enhancing multiple …
