Abstract
Thirty healthy volunteers underwent MRI with 3D MP-RAGE, 3D CISS and 2D tur bo spin echo sequences to compare the:detectability of olfactory fibers, bu lb, tract, and sulcus. The overall detectability was slightly better using MP-RAGE compared with CISS. Both 3D sequences were superior to 2D turbo spi n echo. We therefore recommend including the MP-RAGE sequence in an MR imaging prot ocol of the olfactory nerve.
