  • *All sequences are obtained in the axial plane.

  • DWI, diffusion-weighted imaging; FLAIRT1, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery T1-weighted; FLAIRT2, fluid-attenuated inversion recovery T2-weighted; HEIR, haematoma enhanced inversion recovery; TE, echo time; TR, repetition time; T2WI, T2 weighted image.
