Abstract
Inversion-Recovery RARE is a strongly T-2-weighted fast sequence in wh ich the CSF appears dark. This sequence was used in more than 100 pati ents. Retrospective analysis of 80 patients with cerebrovascular and i nflammatory disease was carried out. The IR-RARE sequence proved to be particularly suitable for identifying small lesions in the neighbourh ood of the subarachnoid space. We illustrate the typical contrast prov ided by this sequence, and describe its characteristics, exemplifying the advantages it offers for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, cere bral microangiopathy and brain infarction.
