With the higher SNR of 3 Tesla and software developments, 3D spin echo–type sequences with good contrast to noise ratio become possible in a reasonable scan time of 5 to 6 minutes. These MR sequences include sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolutions, CUBE, and volume isotropic turbo spin-echo acquisition. They are somewhat insensitive to magnetization transfer–related cross talk among slices, allow thin-slice multiplanar reconstructions from isotropic voxels, and can produce a variety of contrasts (eg, proton density and T2). They may be used with fat-suppression techniques, such as SPAIR and STIR .
Rodegerdts and associates8 described their experience with 3D sequences of whole-spine MRI at 3 Tesla MRI compared with 1.5 Tesla MRI. They concluded that 3D imaging has a higher SNR on 3 Tesla than on 1.5 Tesla and that better signal can be used to increase the spatial resolution. Of note, the interpatient variability at 3 Tesla was greater than at 1.5 Tesla because of the B1 inhomogeneity related to dielectric effects.

Am very glad to share this testimony with everyone for the marvelous work Dr Isibor has done for my life, 5months ago i was diagnosed with herpes virus and ever since then i have been very unhappy, i was so down broken everyday, until one day when i came across a shocking testimony about how Dr Isibor cured someone of his herpes virus, without wasting much time i contacted him immediately on his email address: drisiborspellhome@gmail.com and after i explain myself to him about how terrible i have been, and he assure me that he will help me to cure my herpes virus,after he has prepared the herbal medicine he sent it to me and when i have received it and started using it i was totally cure within 2weeks, i am forever grateful to Dr Isibor for helping me out with his herpes prescription that cured my virus. contact his email address:drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or you can call or whatsApp his Mobile number:+2348110493039
