The fluid attenuating inversion recovery (FLAIR) MRI method is an important technique for the differentiation of brain and spine lesions. However the FLAIR-FSE sequence typically used in the clinics can be long and prone to motion. Here, we show preliminary patient data using a faster readout-segmented (rs)-EPI-FLAIR implementation. With a better selection of imaging parameters, rs-EPI-FLAIR may be a useful rapid alternative to conventional FLAIR and EPI-FLAIR in the clinics.
