Prof. F. Barkhof: Latest generation 3T MRI

A 3T MRI system brings major advantages in neuroradiology compared to the 1.5T systems. Our initial experience with a latest generation 3T system, the Vantage Titan, indicates that the system provides increased patient comfort while offering significant quality and diagnostic benefits for several clinical applications. In this presentation we will discuss our initial clinical experience with the Vantage Titan 3T system, including clinical cases of time-of-flight MRA for evaluation of the vasculature, isotropic 3D FLAIR in the assessment of glioma and multiple sclerosis. Moreover, flow-spoiled black blood (FSBB), a proprietary Toshiba technique, is explored for the evaluation of microvasculature (lenticulostriate arteries) in aging and dementia.
