Abstract
T2 FLAIR sequence of MRI in Acute Ischemic Stroke patients is meaningful to those who have the diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage and neurological deficiency, including the detection of cerebral infarction around Cerebrospinal fluid. However, because of the long acquisition time and mutative motion artifacts caused by movement, It is difficult to take the MRI image acquisition for non-cooperative patients who need to apply a rapid image acquisition. In this study, we applied the EPI-FLAIR sequence, which is one of the fastest pulse sequences in use, which is a combination of EPI sequence and T2 FLAIR sequence, to patients with acute ischemic cerebral infarction. Based on the qualitative and quantitative evaluation results of the EPI-FLAIR and T2 FLAIR image, we will evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of the EPI-FLAIR sequence.
