Abstract
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare a novel MRI sequence—3D fast-recovery fast spin-echo (FRFSE) cube—with a standard 2D FRFSE sequence for the investigation of uterine anomalies.CONCLUSION. Compared with 2D FRFSE, 3D FRFSE cube provides superior image quality and improved 3D reconstructions in a shorter acquisition time and enables excellent visualization of uterine anatomy in any orientation, regardless of the original scanning plane.Keywords
