| Imaging of the sacral plexus |
| |
We are students Technical Medicine from Twente University and are researching the imaging of the anatomical variation of the sacral plexus. This means the imaging of nerves in a fatty/muscle enviroment with a diameter below 1 mm.rnrnWe are interested in different MR-sequences that will show these small nerves (at the moment we came up with MP(2)Rage, STIR, normal SE T1 and DW) Does anybody can provide us why we should or shouldn't use one of these sequences. Or maybe somebody does have a better suggestion?rnrnAlso we were planning to combine spinal and abdominal coils (phased-array RF coils), does this depict the sacral plexus in a good way?rnrnWe also thought about using a 7T MRI scanner, because of the high spatial resolution. Is this a possibility or does it give to much artifacts? Or is the spatial resolution in a 3T machine enough for such small nerves?rnrnThanks in advance!
