Imaging optic neuritis
Hi,

I had a good experience with coronal FLAIR SPIR, FLAIR wtih FAT SAT. In chronic stages it´s even better than contrast enhanced, STIR and other sequences...

Imaging optic neuritis
Thanks Anna :-)

I've recommended thin coronal STIR (the "axial" in my original post was a mistake - I do know better, promise!) and FLAIR.

The ON is longstanding, so may not show with gadolinium, but worth a try if the budget will stretch so will add that too.

Thanks again.

Imaging optic neuritis
A 2-3 mm STIR sequence through the optic nerves may show the characteristic high-signal intensity of optic neuritis. Gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (to suppress the bright signal of the orbital fat tissue) images of the orbits show the inflammation of the optic nerve. White matter lesions, which denote a higher risk of developing MS, are typical imaged with FLAIR and T2-weighted images (hyperintense lesions), or show enhancement of T1-weighted images postcontrast.

Imaging optic neuritis
A coronal STIR or T2 weighted sequence with fat suppression is useful to show an opticus neuritis.

Best pulse sequences for spinal cord demyelination?
Small spinal cord lesions, even if clinically significant, can be due to the low sensitivity of some pulse sequences. Demyelinating lesions are better seen on STIR-FSE images, on which the number of lesions are significantly higher than on FSE, while the FSE and CSE images show approximately equal numbers of lesions.So as STIR-FSE has high sensitivity to demyelinating lesions,it can be considered quite specific and should be included in spinal MRI for assessment of suspected demyelinating disease.
