Immature brain: spin-echo pulse sequence parameters for high-contrast MR imaging. 1987

M A Nowell, and D B Hackney, and R A Zimmerman, and L T Bilaniuk, and R I Grossman, and H I Goldberg

Appropriate spin-echo (SE) pulse sequence parameters generate magnetic resonance (MR) images with very high gray matter/white matter contrast in neonates and young infants. In these young patients, long SE sequences with a repetition time of 3,000-3,500 msec and multiple echoes with the longest echo time of 120-160 msec are employed to yield high-contrast images. A high-contrast MR image of a 1-month-old infant is presented.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
