Evaluation of spinal disorders by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is facilitated by the availability of images in multiple angles and views. Imaging in multiple angles is practically limited, however, by clinically prohibitive scan times, if separate acquisitions are necessary for each angle. Thin slices (0.8 mm) without interslice gaps are acquired with a three-dimensional (3D) acquisition. Images with high anatomical detail are rapidly derived from the single 3D data set in any desired plane without repeating the scan. High quality MR images in multiple planes improve the diagnostic capability of MR for many spinal abnormalities. This technique is demonstrated in a series of 11 subjects.
通过多角度和多视图的图像可获取性，磁共振（MR）成像对脊柱疾病的评估变得更加容易。然而，如果每个角度都需要单独采集，那么多角度成像实际上会受到临床难以接受的扫描时间的限制。采用三维（3D）采集方式获取无层间间隙的薄层（0.8毫米）图像。无需重复扫描，即可从单个3D数据集中快速生成具有高解剖细节的任意所需平面的图像。多个平面的高质量MR图像提高了MR对许多脊柱异常的诊断能力。在一系列11名受试者中展示了该技术。
