A patient is presented with neuromyelitis optica. MR imaging, using a short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) technique, clearly depicted the lesion in the left optic nerve. Subsequent serial STIR imaging, with and without Gadolinium-DTPA, allowed quantitative assessment of changes parallel to improved optic nerve function. STIR imaging is a sensitive technique to demonstrate optic nerve lesions, and enables quantitative assessment to be made of the effect of (steroid) medication.
一名患有视神经脊髓炎的患者。采用短反转时间反转恢复（STIR）技术的磁共振成像清晰地显示了左侧视神经的病变。随后在使用和不使用钆喷酸葡胺的情况下进行连续STIR成像，能够对与视神经功能改善平行的变化进行定量评估。STIR成像是一种显示视神经病变的敏感技术，并且能够对（类固醇）药物治疗的效果进行定量评估。
