Figure 7. Comparison of 1·5 T and 3·0 T MRI in two patients with MS.

Figure 7

(A) 1·5 T and (B) 3·0 T MRI scans from a 48-year-old woman with secondary progressive MS, and (C) 1·5 T and (D) 3·0 T MRI scans from a 21 year-old man with relapsing-remitting MS are shown. (A) 1·5 T axial fast fluid inversion recovery (FLAIR) and (C) coronal spoiled gradient images of the brain, and 3·0 T images (B, D) of the same regions with equivalent pulse sequences on each patient display the improved sensitivity in lesion-detecting capabilities (arrows) and tissue resolution (tissue-CSF and grey-white matter differentiation) of the 3·0 T scanner.
