Abstract
Examination of the posterior fossa by magnetic resonance imaging is discuss ed with respect to modern techniques and equipment, and including recent re sults of non-conventional studies in multiple sclerosis. Optimal protocol d esign will maximize resolution and signal strength while providing diagnost ic contrast. Motion artifact from the sigmoid and transverse sinuses may ap pear as ghosting and can be mitigated with proper imaging parameter choices . (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
