Cube STIR Enhance

Use Cube STIR Enchance with 3D Mode, Fast Spin Echo family, Cube pulse.

0 = Default

  • Typically use for routine STIR contrast to suppress fat, for example, a sagittal spine scan

1 = Peripheral Nerve

  • It is only available if IR Prepared Imaging Option is selected.
  • Typically use for peripheral nerve visualization in, for example, the brachial plexus and lumbar plexus. It suppresses more background tissue including blood while at the same time keep the nerve signal as much as possible.
