Dynamic contrast-enhanced MR imaging of the pituitary gland with fast spin-echo technique.

Preliminary work has demonstrated that dynamic contrast material-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging improves the detection sensitivity for pituitary microadenomas. The authors present a new method of obtaining dynamic contrast-enhanced pituitary images with a short TR/TE fast spin-echo technique. This approach allows acquisition of contrast-enhanced spin-echo images with high temporal and spatial resolution. The new technique is applied in a small group of patients and control subjects.

High resolution 3D imaging of the inner ear with a modified fast spin-echo pulse sequence.

A fast spin-echo pulse sequence is described that produces high resolution images of the inner ear without susceptibility artifacts. It uses thin overlapping slices that can be reformatted in multiple projections to provide a view of the 3D geometry of inner ear structures, such as the cochlea, vestibule, semicircular canals, and internal auditory canal. It has proven useful in screening adults for the presence of acoustic schwannoma and in identifying structural congenital lesions in children with sensorineural hearing loss.
