Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly being used in the diagnosis of central nervous system disorders in veterinary patients and is quickly becoming the imaging modality of choice in evaluation of brain and intracranial disease. This article provides an overview of the basic principles of MRI, a description of sequences and their applications in brain imaging, and an approach to interpretation of brain MRI. A detailed discussion of imaging findings in general intracranial disorders including hydrocephalus, vasogenic edema, brain herniation, and seizure-associated changes, and the MR diagnosis of congenital brain disorders is provided. MRI evaluation of acquired brain disorders is described in a second companion article.
磁共振成像(MRI)在兽医患者中枢神经系统疾病的诊断中应用越来越广泛,并且在评估脑部和颅内疾病方面正迅速成为首选的成像方式。本文概述了MRI的基本原理,描述了序列及其在脑成像中的应用,以及脑MRI的解读方法。文中还详细讨论了一般颅内疾病(包括脑积水、血管源性水肿、脑疝和癫痫相关改变)的影像学表现,以及先天性脑部疾病的磁共振诊断。另一篇配套文章将描述获得性脑部疾病的MRI评估。
