  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 The most prominent characteristic of MR images is variety in contrast. Though in the spin echo (SE) (TR=400 msec/TE=25 msec) image, for example, cerebral gray matter is darker than white matter, in SE (2000/20) image gray matter is shown as the bright area, and white matter apears dark. It has critical importance in MR imaging to select the images whose cotrast is best suited for diagnostic purpose.

 We should start to consider the quality of contrast, as high quality images are preferable. Quality of image contrast should be evaluated by the special function of signal to noise ratio and signal intensity ratio between the tissues (Edelstein WA, 1983; Wehrli FW, 1984). However, we can discuss the criteria how to select the images of diagnostically suitable contrast, referring to the well-known signal intensity functions (Young IR, 1982), as far as we consider the effects of imaging parameters on contrast.
