Abstract Fourteen patients with disease of the spinal cord were imaged with fluid‐attenuated inversion‐recovery (FLAIR) sequences in which the inversion time was chosen to substantially reduce or null the signal from CSF. Lesions were seen with greater conspicuity than with conventional contrast‐enhanced and ‐unenhanced T 1‐ and T 2‐ ‐weighted sequences in 11 cases.© 1992 Academic Press,Inc.
