Detecting MS lesions on 3.0T MRI

This article pursues tow goals: comparing 2D T1-weighted GRE and SE sequences in the detection of MS lesions and assessing the impact of visual conspicuity and laterality in it.

 

Key Points:

• 2D SE and GRE sequences are useful for detecting active MS lesions.
• Which of these sequences is more sensitive at high field remains uncertain
• GRE sequence showed better sensitivity for detecting active MS lesions than SE
• We propose GRE sequence for detecting active MS lesions at 3.0T
