MR images of cervical and thoracic spine. (a) MRI of cervical and thoracic spine with significant flow and movement artefact on a conventional turbo spin-echo T2 weighted sequence. (b) A gradient echo sequence yielded significantly worse images. (c) The 3D sampling perfection with application-optimised contrasts using different flip angle evolutions sequence results in sharp and artefact free images and is surprisingly resistant to most artefacts.
