"The MSK examinations, with the Blade sequence, are of very good quality since motion artifacts are reduced. This same BLADE sequence and the 3D isotropic SPACE sequence offer high resolution and well contrasted pelvic and prostate images. In neurology, the results are of very good quality in totally correct acquisition times."¹
