[Modified T2-weighted gradient echo sequence for MR tomography of the CNS].
We introduced a modification of T2-weighted rapid sequence imaging which combines the advantages of conventional spin echo sequences with those of gradient echo sequences. It provides a method which is suitable for clinical routine use. Using a 1.5 Tesla field, one obtains good image quality with contrast comparable to spin echo sequences, while reducing the time taken to examine the brain to one-half and that of the spine to one-third. Our experience in 54 patients is described.
