Rectangular field of view for dynamic MR imaging of sellar and parasellar regions

Radiat Med. 1994 Jul-Aug;12(4):193-5.

Abstract

The effectiveness and quality of a rectangular field of view (R-FOV) were compared with those of a square FOV (S-FOV) in dynamic MR study of sellar regions. Cranial nerves in the cavernous sinus were identified more clearly with R-FOV. The image quality grading of R-FOV was significantly superior to that of S-FOV.
