Resumo

We present here a method for improving SNR in CSF-attenuated imaging relative to the standard technique of using an inversion pulse and imaging at the null point of CSF. In this new method the inversion pulse is replaced with a 90x–180y–90x preparation sequence that provides T1 and T2 selectivity. This allows the tissue magnetization to recover more rapidly, allows for the use of shorter TR values, and reduces T1 weighting. Magn Reson Med 45:529–532, 2001. © 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
