The FLAIR sequence produces heavily T2-weighted images with cerebrospinal fluid suppression by using the inversion recovery scheme and acquiring the image data after a time delay (called the inversion time), when the longitudinal magnetization of the signal from cerebrospinal fluid is 0. 4, record 1, English, - fluid%20attenuated%20inversion%20recovery
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The acronym and the terms are often followed by the word "sequence" to make them more transparent. 5, record 1, English, - fluid%20attenuated%20inversion%20recovery

Le terme «FLAIR» est souvent précédé du mot «séquence», ce qui permet non seulement de le rendre transparent, mais aussi de lever l’ambiguïté de son genre. 4, record 1, French, - FLAIR
