Clinical application of CISS 3D sequence in neurological diseases
Main Article Content
Abstract
CISS 3D is a fully refocused steady-state gradient-echo sequence. This sequence is now available in almost every MRI scanners and is frequently used to evaluate several pathologies when routine MRI sequences do not provide desired anatomic information. Aplications in nerves include evaluation of cranial and spinal nerves and pathologies, which include neurovascular compression, tumor, traumatic nerve root injuries and compression by
herniation disc. The cisternography aplications include CSF rhinorhea, postoprative dural tears.
