AB Summary: We describe an MR protocol for the noninvasive imaging of the subarachnoid space, which we use in patients with suspected neurocysticercosis in this space. It consists of a fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequence performed 5 minutes after the continuous inhalation of 100% O2 with a resultant increase in the signal intensity of the CSF that leads to a greater conspicuity of cyst walls in relation to the cortex and the extraventricular CSF.
