Synthetic-flair-substitutes-for-flair-in-acute-stroke

2022 13 Jan

Fluid-attenuation inversion recovery (FLAIR) is a commonly-used sequence for estimating the age of an acute ischemic stroke. Timing information is essential for considering intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) to treat ischaemic stroke. One critical advantage synthetic FLAIR have over conventional FLAIR is its potential to reduce scan times in...Read more

Quantitative-flair-mri-in-amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis

2017 04 Oct

T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) hyperintensity assessed visually in the corticospinal tract (CST) lacks sensitivity for a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a new study, researchers sought to explore a quantitative approach to fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI intensity across a range of ALS phenotypes....Read more
