摘要
Purpose: This study aims to investigate difference between magnetization-prepared rapid gradient-echo imaging (MPRAGE) and spin-echo (SE) imaging for evaluating glioma on pre-contrast-enhanced (CE) and post-CE T1 weighted images at 3 T. Materials and methods: We retrospectively assessed pre-CE and post-CE T1-weighted images for tumor contrast in 64 consecutive glioma patients. Results: In the nonenhancing tumors, the contrast was significantly clearer in MPRAGE than SE. In the enhancing tumors, post-CE contrast ratio was significantly higher in SE than MPRAGE, but when subtraction images are evaluated, the difference got smaller. Conclusion: MPRAGE can be a good substitute of SE for Tl-weighted imaging of glioma. (C) 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
