TABLE 1:
Sequence | Isotropic Resolution (mm) | TR/TE | Acquisition Time | Other Parameters |
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Precontrast T2-weighted FLAIR | 1.0 | 4800/352 | 7 min 9 s | TI = 1800 ms |
Pre- and postcontrast T2*-weighted segmented EPI | 0.65 | 64/35 | 5 min 48 s | Flip angle = 10°, EPI factor = 15 |
Pre- and postcontrast T1-weighted imaging | 1.0 | 7.8/3.0 | 3 min 16 s | Flip angle = 18° |
Note—All sequences comprised a 3D sagittal acquisition of entire brain. TI = inversion time, EPI = echo-planar imaging.
