Abstract:This unit presents a basic protocol for conventional and fast spin echo imaging of spine for evaluation of infections involving the CNS. The epidemic of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the frequency of CNS infections has been on the rise. An alternate protocol is presented for coronal acquisition that may be helpful to analyze the perispinal tissues for abscess formation.
