Skeletal Radiol. 2011 Oct;40(10):1355-60. doi: 10.1007/s00256-011-1162-y. Epub 2011 Apr 15.

Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) diffusion-weighted reversed fast imaging with steady state precession (3D DW-PSIF) MR sequence has the potential to create nerve-specific images. The authors describe the technical issues and their initial experience with this imaging technique employed for peripheral MR neurography.
