However, their long selective RF pulses lead to violation of Carr\u2013Purcell\u2013Meiboom\u2013Gill conditions, which might increase imaging artifacts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Hypothesis<\/jats:title>\n That VERSE STIR\u2010TSE would yield comparable motion artifact to conventional STIR\u2010TSE with superior nerve conspicuity and greater subjective appeal.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study Type<\/jats:title>\n Prospective, cross\u2010sectional study.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Population<\/jats:title>\n Twenty\u2010four subjects (16 females; mean age: 43.7\u2009years; range: 19\u201376\u2009years) evaluated for clinical suspicion of brachial plexopathy, undergoing brachial plexus MRI (10 left, 9 right, 5 bilateral, 29 total scans analyzed).

Gwet's AC2 assessed inter\u2010rater agreement.

Motion artifact was not significantly different between the sequences (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.11). Conspicuity of the suprascapular nerve was significantly greater with VERSE for both its proximal segments (median: 3, interquartile range: (2, 4), vs. 3 (1, 4)) and distal segments (4 (2, 4) vs. 3 (2, 4)), but conspicuity of the axillary nerve was not significantly different between the sequences (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u20090.27\u20130.61).
