Purpose: To prospectively determine and compare the sensitivity in the detection of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions using Dual Inversion-Recovery (DIR), fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), and a T2-weighted turbo spin echo (T2 TSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 3.0T in patients with suspected and definite MS. Methods: 22 patients presenting with a clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) suggestion of MS and 2 patients with definite MS were included. Imaging was performed at a 3.0T whole body MRI system using DIR (TR 11000, TE 29, IR delay 3400, 325), FLAIR (TR 12000, TE 140, IR delay 2850), and T2 TSE…
