Title: Application of FLAIR Sequence in Diagnosis of Brain Metastases
Abstract: [Objective]To analyze the diagnostic value of contrast enhancement fluid attenuated inversion recovery(FLAIR) sequence on brain metastasis.[Methods]Twenty five patients with brain metastases were performed T1WI and FLAIR sequence imaging with and without enhancement.The images were reviewed by 2 experienced radiologists.[Results]Compared with T1WI images,post contrast FLAIR showed more parenchymal lesions in 3 cases.In 11 patients with meningeal metastases,the lesion enhancement was superior to post contrast T1 sequence in 7 cases.[Conclusion]Post contrast FLAIR is an effective complement to post contrast T1WI,especially lesions in the surface of cortex and leptomeningeal lesions.
