FLASH: clinical three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging

Radiographics. 1988 Sep;8(5):947-65. doi: 10.1148/radiographics.8.5.3227132.

Abstract

Using 3-D FLASH, high resolution, very thin section T1 weighted images of the CNS, spine, and extremities can be obtained. From these single data sets, reformatted images whose resolution is equal to that of the original data set can be constructed in any desired plane. This approach may lead to the replacement of conventional T1 weighted spin echo imaging by 3-D FLASH techniques.
