Abstract
A total of 30 healthy volunteers underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with T1 weighted (w.) 3D magnetization prepared rapid gradient echo (MP-RAGE), T2 w. 2D turbo spin echo (TSE) and T2* w. 3D constructive interference in steady state (CISS) sequences to evaluate the detectability of the optic, oculomotor, trochlear and abducens nerves. CISS yielded the best results for the trochlear and abducens nerve, MP-RAGE for the optic chiasm and tract. The optic and oculomotor nerves were very well detectable using both CISS and MP-RAGE without any statistically significant difference between the two.
