Clinical Application of MR Imaging Fluid Attenuated Inversion RecoverySequence(FLAIR)in Diagnosis of Intracranial Lesion

Objective:To evaluate the value of MR fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) sequence in diagnosis of intracranial lesion.Methods:MR FLAIR and conventional SE seguence in 71 cases with various intracranial lesions were performed,and both FLAIR and conventional SE sequences were compared in detecting the in tracranial lesions.Results:67 and 50 intracranial lesions were identified respectively with FLAIR and conventional SE sequences in 71 cases of intracranial lesions.p0.01.Conclusion:FLAIR sequence can improve the detective rate in meingoencephalitis and acute subarachnoid hemorrhage.It has definite advantage in identifying contusion of brain,cerebral infarction and demyelinating disease.
