abstract = {Introduction: Creating contrast between normal anatomy and pathology is the main goal of imaging. Here we compare contrast ratios of enhancing brain lesions at 1.5T between T1 TSE, magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MPRAGE) and subtraction and at 3T between T1 FLAIR, MPRAGE and subtraction.
Methods: Contrast ratio between enhancing lesions and normal contralateral brain was measured for above mentioned sequences during the same imaging session. A total of 27 exams on 25 patients were evaluated.
Results: A total of 90 enhancing brain lesions were utilized. Of these 46 were },
