New techniques in magnetic resonance imaging.
Technical developments in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and orbits provide a challenge to radiologists and practicing clinicians alike. Several new trends in brain imaging are reviewed, including fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and perfusion and functional magnetic resonance imaging. These techniques are increasingly used in the clinical environment. Two innovative magnetic resonance techniques for imaging the orbit are also reviewed.
