This table is used in the following articles:
This table does not include uncommon and experimental sequences.
Group | Sequence | Abbr. | Physics | Main clinical distinctions | Example |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Spin echo | T1 weighted | T1 | Measuring spin–lattice relaxation by using a short repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE). |
Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences |
|
T2 weighted | T2 | Measuring spin–spin relaxation by using long TR and TE times |
Standard foundation and comparison for other sequences |
||
Proton density weighted | PD | Long TR (to reduce T1) and short TE (to minimize T2).[3] | Joint disease and injury.[4]
|
||
Gradient echo (GRE) | Steady-state free precession | SSFP | Maintenance of a steady, residual transverse magnetisation over successive cycles.[6] | Creation of cardiac MRI videos (pictured).[6] | |
Effective T2 or "T2-star" |
T2* | Postexcitation refocused GRE with small flip angle.[7] | Low signal from hemosiderin deposits (pictured) and hemorrhages.[7] | ||
Inversion recovery | Short tau inversion recovery | STIR | Fat suppression by setting an inversion time where the signal of fat is zero.[8] | High signal in edema, such as in more severe stress fracture.[9] Shin splints pictured: | |
Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery | FLAIR | Fluid suppression by setting an inversion time that nulls fluids | High signal in lacunar infarction, multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques, subarachnoid haemorrhage and meningitis (pictured).[10] | ||
Double inversion recovery | DIR | Simultaneous suppression of cerebrospinal fluid and white matter by two inversion times.[11] | High signal of multiple sclerosis plaques (pictured).[11] | ||
Diffusion weighted (DWI) | Conventional | DWI | Measure of Brownian motion of water molecules.[12] | High signal within minutes of cerebral infarction (pictured).[13] | |
Apparent diffusion coefficient | ADC | Reduced T2 weighting by taking multiple conventional DWI images with different DWI weighting, and the change corresponds to diffusion.[14] | Low signal minutes after cerebral infarction (pictured).[15] | ||
Diffusion tensor | DTI | Mainly tractography (pictured) by an overall greater Brownian motion of water molecules in the directions of nerve fibers.[16] |
|
||
Perfusion weighted (PWI) | Dynamic susceptibility contrast | DSC | Gadolinium contrast is injected, and rapid repeated imaging (generally gradient-echo echo-planar T2 weighted) quantifies susceptibility-induced signal loss.[18] | In cerebral infarction, the infarcted core and the penumbra have decreased perfusion (pictured).[19] | |
Dynamic contrast enhanced | DCE | Measuring shortening of the spin–lattice relaxation (T1) induced by a gadolinium contrast bolus.[20] | |||
Arterial spin labelling | ASL | Magnetic labeling of arterial blood below the imaging slab, which subsequently enters the region of interest.[21] It does not need gadolinium contrast.[22] | |||
Functional MRI (fMRI) | Blood-oxygen-level dependent imaging | BOLD | Changes in oxygen saturation-dependent magnetism of hemoglobin reflects tissue activity.[23] | Localizing highly active brain areas before surgery, also used in research of cognition.[24] | |
Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) and venography | Time-of-flight | TOF | Blood entering the imaged area is not yet magnetically saturated, giving it a much higher signal when using short echo time and flow compensation. | Detection of aneurysm, stenosis, or dissection[25] | |
Phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging | PC-MRA | Two gradients with equal magnitude, but opposite direction, are used to encode a phase shift, which is proportional to the velocity of spins.[26] | Detection of aneurysm, stenosis, or dissection (pictured).[25] | (VIPR) | |
Susceptibility-weighted | SWI | Sensitive for blood and calcium, by a fully flow compensated, long echo, gradient recalled echo (GRE) pulse sequence to exploit magnetic susceptibility differences between tissues | Detecting small amounts of hemorrhage (diffuse axonal injury pictured) or calcium.[27] |
