BACKGROUND: T1-weighted 3D turbo spin echo (T1W-3D-TSE) sequences with variable refocusing flip angle are commonly used to diagnose intracranial vertebrobasilar artery dissection (iVAD). However, magnetic susceptibility artifacts of the cavernous sinus may cause loss of the basilar and vertebral arteries. This study investigated the effectiveness of a 3D phase-sensitive inversion recovery (3D-PSIR) sequence in reducing magnetic susceptibility artifacts in the cavernous sinus, and its imaging findings for iVAD.
METHODS: Twelve volunteers and eleven patients with iVAD were included. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed using a 3.0-T MRI system. 3D-PSIR and T1W-3D-TSE sequences were used. Vessel wall defects and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were evaluated. The MRI findings were visually evaluated.
RESULTS: In the 3D-PSIR images, one volunteer (8 %) had vessel wall defects, and five (42 %) had vessel wall defects (p = 0.046) in the T1W-3D-TSE images. CNR was higher in 3D-PSIR images for vessel wall-to-lumen, whereas it was higher in T1W-3D-TSE images for vessel wall-to-CSF (p < 0.001). Visual evaluation revealed similar MRI findings between the two sequences.
CONCLUSIONS: The 3D-PSIR sequence may be able to improve the vessel wall defects and achieve MRI findings comparable to those of the T1W-3D-TSE sequence in iVAD. The 3D-PSIR sequence can be a useful tool for the imaging-based diagnosis of iVAD.
