High-spatial-resolution MR cisternography of the cerebellopontine angle in 90 seconds with a zero-fill interpolated fast recovery 3D fast asymmetric spin-echo sequence.

Abstract

High-spatial-resolution MR cisternography with the ZIP fast recovery 3D FASE protocol in 90 seconds results in a substantial reduction (by a factor of about eight) in the time required for screening for CP angle lesions compared with the previously reported conventional 3D FASE protocol, while maintaining high sensitivity and specificity.
