STIR-TR
My understanding with Stir is to have longer TR and shorter TE than a normal T2 sequence. Ive also wondered this question and have not found a definite answer as I guess it could vary from manufacturer to manufacturer?

Im on a Siemens Avanto 1.5T, and typically our STIR sequence ranges from:

TR = 4000 - 10,000ms (I try not to go beyond 7,000)
TE = 20 - 40ms

...obviously you can adjust values for different outcomes depending what you are trying to identify.

Brain T2FS postcontrast
Gadolinium relaxation times are too short for T2 weighted imaging, so T2 weighted is not tipically performed after contrast (unless used as a delay to give contrast time to peak before T1 FS is obtained).

Also I have never worked at any facility that uses T2 fat sat imaging on the brain. Not a whole lot of fat in the brain region!

FLAIR imaging is the norm...but I could stand corrected.

Imaging optic neuritis
A 2-3 mm STIR sequence through the optic nerves may show the characteristic high-signal intensity of optic neuritis. Gadolinium enhanced T1-weighted fat-saturated (to suppress the bright signal of the orbital fat tissue) images of the orbits show the inflammation of the optic nerve. White matter lesions, which denote a higher risk of developing MS, are typical imaged with FLAIR and T2-weighted images (hyperintense lesions), or show enhancement of T1-weighted images postcontrast.

Imaging optic neuritis
A coronal STIR or T2 weighted sequence with fat suppression is useful to show an opticus neuritis.

6-1.5T MAGNETS, DIFFERING GRADIENTS
Thank you for your response. Our group is strict about FOV, thickness/gap parameters being the same across all magnets. One magnet has slew rate of 77, FRFSE T2, TE 85,TR 3500 Classic Fat supressed images which are pristine, vs magnets of 120 slew rate same parameters look signal starved. So gradient strength makes a speed difference, not an image quality difference?
