Brain T2FS postcontrast
Gadolinium relaxation times are too short for T2 weighted imaging, so T2 weighted is not tipically performed after contrast (unless used as a delay to give contrast time to peak before T1 FS is obtained).

Also I have never worked at any facility that uses T2 fat sat imaging on the brain. Not a whole lot of fat in the brain region!

FLAIR imaging is the norm...but I could stand corrected.

Imaging optic neuritis
Hi,

I had a good experience with coronal FLAIR SPIR, FLAIR wtih FAT SAT. In chronic stages it´s even better than contrast enhanced, STIR and other sequences...

Imaging optic neuritis
A 2-3 mm STIR sequence through the optic nerves may show the characteristic high-signal intensity of optic neuritis. Gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (to suppress the bright signal of the orbital fat tissue) images of the orbits show the inflammation of the optic nerve. White matter lesions, which denote a higher risk of developing MS, are typical imaged with FLAIR and T2-weighted images (hyperintense lesions), or show enhancement of T1-weighted images postcontrast.

Gadolinium - blood brain barrier
Does Gadolinium cross blood brain barrier? I am having a neck and spine MRI with Gaolinium contrast for detection of CSF leak. Can intravenous vein administration of Gadolinium get into the neck and spinal cord?

Hyperintense blood vessels in SE
Prolonged T1 relaxation times, decreased T1 tissue contrast, and increased susceptibility rnare typical effects at high field MRI.rnDue to the longer T1 times at 3T, the signal rnintensity inside the vessels is preserved even in smaller vessels. Try TR 700, TE 10.rnInversion recovery sequences are very well suited for optimal gray to white matter contrast, but enhancement after administration of gadolinium may not be visible.
