MR cisternography using a three-dimensional half-fourier single-shot fast spin-echo sequence

Application of a three-dimensional half-fourier single-shot fast spin-echo sequence to MR cisternography is presented. This technique is capable of demonstrating normal cranial nerves. It is also useful in screening for acoustic neuroma as well as in the diagnosis of neurovascular compression.
