A "first cut" at interpreting brain mri signal intensities: what's white, what's black, and what's gray.
We propose that a simple but reasonable initial interpretation of brain and spinal cord MRI can be made by considering whether signal intensity is white or black or gray on precontrast T1-weighted and T2-weighted pulse sequences. We have formulated this task as a 2 x 2 table.
