Abstrakt: Areas of signal loss in brain overlying air-containing structures at the skull base are commonly observed on axial fast MR images. The nature of this effect, which can mimic the appearance of cerebral hemorrhage, is investigated in a phantom study and in a normal volunteer. The magnitude of the signal loss is found to be inversely related to the distance of the scanning plane from the air-containing structure and directly related to the echo time.
