Abstract:
0.05). Four lesions were only revealed on CE FLAIR whereas 7 lesions were only found on postcontrast T_1WI. Enhancing lesions located in cerebral hemisphere or the forth ventricle was revealed much more on T_1WI than that on CE FLAIR. However, postcontrast fast FLAIR images may be useful in detecting superficial abnormalities and those located in sulcus or lateral ventricle. The enhancement degree of enhanced T_1WI was much more intense than that of CE FLAIR(P0.05) and statistical significance in GWC, CNR and CER(P
