Need Help
I had an MRI yesterday and I have alot of metal in my neck due to extensive surgery such as anterior fusion from c4 to c7. Yesterdays results indicate I have atrophy of the spinal cord from C4-5 to C7 with a thin cord and high signal compatible with myelomalacia. Herniation of C3-$ that compresses the spinal cord. Central protrusion of the C2-3 and C7-T1 discs. My question is. My neck burns as if on fire inside. Is this something that will go away? I have and do have severe pain 24/7 but I've never had this kind of pain. If possible please email me at oceansmove07@aol.com if you know what's happening. Thank you for any help you may have and I wish everyone a lighter today, a brighter tomorrow and a future filled with joy and happiness.

fluid PD vs T2 weighting
Can anyone explain me, why - considering SE sequences with the same TR - fluid in a PD weighting (short TE) should have less signal than in a T2 weighting (long TE)? eg:
Fig 10, p 1397; radiographics resident tutorial: contrast mechanisms in spin echo MR imaging; Radiographics 1994; 14; pp 1389-1404

I would expect that the signal intensity of any tissue (regardless of it Proton density of T2-relaxation time) should decrease with increasing echo time.

Thank you

visualizing corticospinal tracts
With DTI you're able to visualize the coricospinal tracts. Not to difficult actually, you'll just need the proper gear and post processing software.

Phase encoding
Wow this is a long subject, First you have to under stand how the 3 main gradients are used. (slice select, Freq, then phase)
So you are use 1 of the gradients for your phase encoding. You need to fill the k-space which depends on you matrix. Lets assume you are using 256 (phase). In order to fill K-space you have to have 256 aquistions of the signal. Meaning for each picture (or slice) the signal must be acquire(sampled) 256 times each at a differnt amplitude to put it in a different Line of k-space.

Example- If you are performing a SE(spin echo) you have 1 TR period and 1 TE period (TE=is when the signal is sampled) so you will have to do the TR period 256 times to fill K-space with diffent amplitudes.

There is alot more that I left out. If this did not answer your question let me know

Omniscan Distribution Rate
I was told by the GE rep that Omniscan has a faster distribution rate, that should lend itself to better images/application to specific technologies. Is this claim valid? This is the first I've heard of this type "spin" on contrast agents. <pun intended>

In my experience, I have not seen much difference in image quality from various contrast agents. Any thoughts or experiences are appreciated.
