To improve multiple sclerosis plaque, we attempted to produce Synthetic FLAIR3 (SyFLAIR3) combined from FLAIR and T2WI using Synthetic MRI. The purpose of this study was to determine optimal contrast weighting for SyFLAIR3 and to evaluate whether the SyFLAIR3 can improve the T2 contrast on WM. To effectively suppress CSF signal for SyFLAIR3, it was necessary to optimize the combination of TE for T2WI and FLAIR. The optimized SyFLAIR3 using Synthetic MRI makes it possible to improve contrast in MS lesion.
