The plane of acquisition in BLADE is rotating, vs. a standard FLAIR has a single direction plane of acquisition (e.g. axial or sag). For BLADE, picture a plane rotating on a point like a see-saw, but 360 degrees. BLADE has been demonstrated to correct better for motion and Gibbs artifacts. See Wintersperger et al, 2006 in Investigative Radiology.

What does T2 and Flair hyperintensities mean in a MRI scan?

T2 FLAIR Hyperintensity is when hyperintensity is seen via FLAIR (Fluid Attenuated Inversion Recovery) during the T2, or spin-spin, relaxation cycle. This process helps nullify natural fluid signals in the body to find plaques and lesions in the brain. Hyperintensity describes areas of high intensity in the brain during an MRI.

What is flair signal?

Flair signal refers to a specific type of imaging technique used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), particularly in the evaluation of brain conditions. The FLAIR (Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery) sequence suppresses the signal from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), enhancing the visibility of lesions and abnormalities in the brain tissue. This makes it particularly useful for detecting conditions like multiple sclerosis, stroke, and other pathologies that may be obscured by the CSF signal in standard MRI sequences.


Is there a difference in an brain MRI of a gay person?

No they function the same as the rest.


What is the difference between CT and MRI images from a physician's point of view for example the appearance of different tissues?

CT suited for detecting cancers, viewing bone injuries, diagnosing lung and chest problems.MRI is suited for examining brain tumors, spinal cord injuries, soft tissue in ligament and tendon injuries,-CT Provides good details about bony structures. MRI Less detailed compared to X-ray-CT Good soft tissue differentiation especially with intravenous contrast. Higher imaging resolution. MRI is better at telling the difference between different soft tissues and between normal and abnormal soft tissue-CT scan is faster than MRI.-effective radiation dose from CT ranges from 2 to 10 mSv. No Radiation for MRI-CT can pose the risk of irradiation. Not the case of MRI


What is the difference between a surgery and a procedure?

Any type of surgery is a procedure, a procedure for example can be a EKG, or a MRI, or a endoscopy. When you go into the hospital and whatever tests they perform is a procedure.


Do MRI scanners have any adverse effects?

MRI scanners have practically no adverse effects. MRI or magnetic resonance imaging works by noting difference of various images created by varying response of different body tissues.


When should MRI's not be used?

MRI scanning should not be used when there is the potential for an interaction between the strong MRI magnetic field and metal objects that might be imbedded in a patient's body.

What is the relationship between MRI and NMR?

they dont have a relationship at all.


What is the difference between an Otis and conformis knee?

The Otis knee uses a MRI pre-operatively to determine optimal placement of a standard knee implant; the Conformis knee uses a MRI to fabricate a custom implant and instruments made specifically for the patient's anatomy replacing only the diseased portion of the knee.
