title: [The demonstration of calcifications in magnetic resonance tomography (MRT). The effect of different parameters on the MRT imaging of cerebral calcifications].
abstract: The effect of various factors on the demonstration of calcified lesions was studied in 131 areas of calcification which had been demonstrated by CT. By means of MRI (SE 400/30 or GE315/14, 90 degrees and SE 1600/30 + 70; 0.5T) 117 of the 131 calcified lesions (89%) produced a signal difference. Of these 117 lesions, 80 (61%) were recognised as calcification by MRI. Large areas of calcification (more than 5 mm) and high density calcification (more than 100 Hu) were recognised significantly more often than small or low density calcifications. T2-weighted images demonstrated calcification more often than other sequences. With conventional pulse sequences, calcified lesions were frequently recognised as abnormalities on MRI, but their recognition as calcified lesions is unreliable.
