Abstract
We studied the utility of fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery (FLAIR) MRI in the investigation of head injury. We examined 56 patients with head injuries with T2-weighted spin-echo (SE) and FLAIR sequences. In all cases, the sensitivity of FLAIR images to equal or superior to that of conventional SE images to the traumatic lesions. In 9 cases, central diffuse axonal injury of the fornix and corpus callosum could be seen only on sagittal FLAIR images.Entities:
