FIESTA-C/CISS is currently the sequence of choice for CSF-cisternography for visualizing cranial nerves at the skull base. When used in the 3D mode, it provides high signal from CSF based …

The T2 True Fast Imaging with Steady State Precession (TrueFISP) or Fast Imaging Employing Steady-state Acquisition (FIESTA) MRI sequence is an advanced imaging technique that …

Nov 30, 2022 · This article contains a list of commonly and less commonly used MRI pulse sequence abbreviations and their meaning. If available, an explanation is included in a …

CISS (Constructive Interference in Steady State) MRI is an advanced imaging technique derived from the TrueFISP sequence. It utilizes specialized radiofrequency pulses, gradient echo …

The FIESTA sequence uses the T2 steady state contrast mechanism to provide high SNR images with strong signal from fluid tissues while suppressing background tissue for contrast and …

For most solid tissues, the T2/T1 ratio is small. The exceptions are fat (0.30) and fluids (0.70). Thus True FISP sequences tend to highlight fluids such as CSF and blood, making them ideal …

Nov 23, 2012 · Despite the poor T2 tissue contrast of FIESTA relative to conventional T2-weighted imaging (e.g., FSE-based T2-weighted images), FIESTA allows visualization of solid …

The purpose of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of fast spin-echo T2 weighted (FSE-T2W), fat-suppressed T2W (FS-T2W), and three-dimensional (3D) fast imaging …

Sep 4, 2022 · Generally these sequences exploit what is referred to as T2* (T2 star) which is highly sensitive to small perturbations in the local magnetic field. The most sensitive of these …

Sep 1, 2016 · We believe that the high positive findings in our study were due to the use of 3D-FIESTA beside pre- and post-contrast axial and coronal sequences. The FIESTA sequence is …
