“…[15][16][17][18] In our study, the total scan time of DE-VISTA at closed-and opened-mouth positions was 13 min 30 s. Diagnosis of disk dislocation cannot be established solely on the basis of oblique sagittal MR imagingˆndings. An oblique coronal section was also necessary to diagnose TMD.…”

“…Recently, use of the volumetric isotropic TSE acquisition (VISTA) sequence at clinical sites has enabled high speed imaging, even for spin echo 3D imaging. [15][16][17][18] We hypothesized that the dual echo VISTA (DE-VISTA) method could be used to overcome the issues of prolonged scan duration and susceptibility eŠects at the TMJ. In addition, because DE-VISTA-PDWI and DE-VISTA-T 2 WI have identical positional information, their data can be precisely added and calculated per voxel.…”

Purpose: We investigated the ability to detect the articular disk and joint eŠusion of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of a method of dual echo volumetric isotropic turbo spin echo acquisition (DE-VISTA) additional fusion images (AFI).Methods: DE-VISTA was performed in the 26 TMJ of 13 volunteers and 26 TMJ of 13 patients. Two-dimensional (2D) dual echo turbo spin echo was performed in the 26 TMJ of 13 volunteers. On a workstation, we added proton density-weighted images (PDWI) and T 2 weighted images (T 2 WI) of the DE-VISTA per voxel to reconstruct DE-VISTA-AFI. Two radiologists reviewed these images visually and quantitatively.Results: Visual evaluation of the articular disk was equivalent between DE-VISTA-AFI and 2D-PDWI. The sliding thin-slab multiplanar reformation (MPR) method of DE-VISTA-AFI could detect all articular disks. The ratio of contrast (CR) of adipose tissue by the articular disk to that of the articular disk itself was signiˆcantly higher in DE-VISTA-AFI than DE-VISTA-PDWI (Pº0.05) in patients and volunteers with closed or open mouth. In volunteers, the CR between adipose tissue and the disk on DE-VISTA-AFI was marginally signiˆcant to that on 2D-PDWI at opened mouth (P＝0.071) and not signiˆcantly diŠerent (P＝0.18) from that at closed mouth. Joint eŠusion could be identiˆed in DE-VISTA-AFI in all 8 joints that had joint eŠusion in DE-VISTA-T 2 WI but in only 3 of those joints in 2D-T 2 WI. The CR of joint eŠusion to adipose tissue on DE-VISTA-AFI did not diŠer signiˆcantly from that on DE-VISTA-PDWI. However, using DE-VISTA-T 2 WI in addition to DE-VISTA-PDWI, we could visually identify joint eŠusion on DE-VISTA-AFI that could not be identiˆed on DE-VISTA-PDWI alone.Conclusion: DE-VISTA-AFI can depict the articular disk and a small amount of joint eŠusion by the required plane of MPR using the sliding thin-slab MPR method.

“…In conclusion, previous studies (8,12) have shown the potential for using Cube to image the knee joint of 5T at an outside institution shows cyst within the CPN (asterisks). There is some cyst extension medially (arrowhead), but the complete course of the intraneural cyst is not demonstrated; specifically, the cyst within the articular branch cannot be seen.…”

Purpose: To compare conventional two-dimensional fast spin echo (FSE) MRI sequences with a three-dimensional FSE extended echo train acquisition method, known as Cube, in the evaluation of intraneural ganglion cysts. Also, to demonstrate that Cube enables the consistent identification and thorough characterization of the cystic joint connection, and therefore improves patient care by superior preoperative planning. Materials and Methods:Six patients with intraneural ganglia in the knee region (five involving the peroneal and one the tibial nerve) were evaluated using both conventional FSE MR sequences and the Cube sequence. Studies were interpreted by the consensus of three board certified musculoskeletal radiologists and one peripheral nerve neurosurgeon. Surgical correlation was available in five of the six cases.Results: Both imaging methods demonstrated the cysts and at least part of their joint connections after variable amount of postprocessing. Cube proved superior to conventional imaging in its ability to acquire isotropic data that could easily be reconstructed in any plane and its ability to resolve fine anatomical details. Conclusion:Cube is a new MR pulse sequence that enables the consistent identification of the intraneural ganglion cyst joint connection. We believe that improved visualization and characterization of the entire cyst will improve patient outcomes by facilitating more accurate surgical intervention.

“…Also, an intermediate-weighted 3D FSE sequence with isotropic resolution (Cube, GE Healthcare) was shown to detect cartilage lesions with a significantly higher sensitivity than a routine protocol [28], and this technique was optimized regarding image quality and motion artifacts [29]. Three-dimensional FSE sequences with isotropic spatial resolution allow reconstructions in arbitrary imaging planes and are currently adapted to hip cartilage imaging; the preliminary results with these sequences are promising, as shown in Figure 1.…”

Knee Joint: Comprehensive Assessment with 3D Isotropic Resolution Fast Spin-Echo MR Imaging—Diagnostic Performance Compared with That of Conventional MR Imaging at 3.0 T

Abstract: FSE-Cube has similar diagnostic performance as a routine MR imaging protocol for detecting cartilage lesions, cruciate ligament tears, collateral ligament tears, meniscal tears, and bone marrow edema lesions within the knee joint at 3.0 T.
