To describe the normally enhancing structures on contrast-enhanced fluid attenuated inversion recovery imaging (CE-FLAIR).
To investigate the clinical utility of CE-FLAIR in various pathologic conditions of the intra and extracerebral compartment.
To show distinct advantages of CE- FLAIR over CE-T1 weighted imaging (WI).
1. General overview of MR contrast material enhancement 2. Understanding of difference between CE-T1WI and CE-FLAIR
3. Understanding of the normally enhancing sructures on CE-FLAIR
4. Review of imaging findings in various intra and extracerebral pathologic conditions, to investigate advantages of CE-FLAIR over CE-T1WI
- Intracerebral lesions
- Meningeal lesions
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Hyperintense acute reperfusion marker (HARM)
- Traumatic lesions
- Seizures associated with hyperglycemia
- Gadolinium encephalopathy related to renal failure.
5. Summary and conclusion
