Visualization of the anatomy extracranial trigeminal nerve (TGN) is crucial to detect pathological alterations and differentiate pathologic causes. As a novel safe imaging technique in magnetic resonance neurography (MRN), iMSDE pulse could result uniform vascular signal suppression without additional contrast agents, which has been demonstrated improve visualization peripheral nerves several anatomical regions. Our results suggested that 3DIRTSE viable alternative conventional...
To evaluate the reliability of 3T MRI nerve-bone fusion in assessing lingual nerve (LN) and its anatomical relationship to cortical plate prior impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) extraction. The bone sequences used this study were 3D T2-weighted fast field echo (3D-T2-FFE) resembling a CT using restricted echo-spacing (FRACTURE), respectively. Both performed 25 subjects, resulting 3D-T2-FFE/FRACTURE images assessed by 2 independent observers. Semi-quantitative analyses included...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Visualization of the extracranial trigeminal nerve is crucial to detect pathologic alterations. This study aimed evaluate visualization using 3D inversion recovery TSE with an improved motion-sensitized driven equilibrium (iMSDE) pulse. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> In this prospective study, 35 subjects underwent imaging conventional TSE, iMSDE pulse, and contrast-enhanced TSE. The visibility 7 branches nerve, venous/muscle suppression, identification...
