Figure 3. Ultra-high-field MRI at 7.0T (patients 5 and 6).

Figure 3

Supratentorial T2*-weighted (A, B) and postgadolinium T1-weighted images (D) of patient 5 obtained at 7.0T are displayed. Postgadolinium T1-weighted imaging depicts a small contrast-enhancing lesion (black arrow, D) that is only marginally delineated on corresponding T2*-weighted images (zoom, B) despite using a very high spatial resolution of 0.08 mm3. Fusion (C) of coregistered postgadolinium T1-weighted (D) and T2*-weighted (B) identifies a small brain vessel within the center of the chronic lymphocytic inflammation with pontine perivascular enhancement responsive to steroids (CLIPPERS) lesion (white arrow, C). T2*w = 2D T2*-weighted fast low angle shot at 7.0T, echo time (TE) = 25.0 ms, repetition time (TR) = 1,820 ms, spatial resolution = 0.2 × 0.2 × 2 mm3; T1-gad = postgadolinium 3D T1-weighted magnetization-prepared rapid gradient echo at 7.0T, TE = 2.98 ms, TR = 2,300 ms, inversion time = 900 ms, spatial resolution = 1.0 × 1.0 × 1.0 mm3.
