Abstract

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of 3D sampling perfection with application optimized contrasts by using different flip angle evolutions(SPACE) double inversion recovery(DIR) sequence for dissemination in space in multiple sclerosis(MS). Methods: 3D-SPACE DIR and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) sequence data of 18 patients with MS were analyzed retrospectively, and the space distribution of the lesions was examined. Results: In 18 cases of MS, in subtentorial, 3D-SPACE DIR sequence displayed 10 patients with lesions located in the brainstem or cerebellum, while the FLAIR sequence had no obvious display subtentorial lesions; FLAIR sequence displaying distribution of lesions was not significantly different from 3D-SPACE DIR sequence in the supratentorial region, but the definition was not as good as the 3D-SPACE DIR sequence. Conclusion: 3D-SPACE DIR sequence is superior to FLAIR sequence in detecting the space distribution and quantity of MS lesions, especially for the infratentorial lesions, which can be used as a favorable supplement to conventional MR scanning.
