Abstract

Objective To evaluate the value of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) sequences in ventricular system. Methods MRI scans with FSE-T2 sequence and FLAIR sequence were respectively performed in 60 patients, and their abilities of detecting lesions were compared. Results FLAIR inhibited the signals of the cerebrospinal fluid and presented a clearer comparison of the periventracular and intraventricular lesions. Conclusion FLAIR sequence was superior to FSE-T2 weighted sequences in identifying periventracular and intraventricular lesions.
