Abstract
Methods of reducing susceptibility artifacts, which invariably occur in MRI examinations of the head and neck region, were investigated in healthy subjects and in patients with head and neck disease. It was found that MRI examination of the head and neck region can be improved by setting the readout direction in the axial cross-sectional image in the anteroposterior direction and by making TE as small as possible.
