Brain trauma protocol (MRI)
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
MRI protocol for brain brain traumais a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach traumatic brain injury, especially diffuse axonal injury.
Although theNote: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics of a protocol are dependentwill vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist's and referrer's preference, institutional protocols, patient factors (e.g. allergy) and time constraints, the idea of this article is expose general principles of protocol design.
Sequences
A good protocol for this purpose involves at involves at least:
-
T1
sagittal- sequence: sagittal
-
T2
axial- sequence: axial
-
FLAIR
axial- sequence: axial
- DWI
/ADC/ADC -
SWI
(GRE)or T2*-
purpose:
is exquisitelysusceptibility sensitive sequences are exquisitely sensitive to blood products andmaymay demonstrate small regions of susceptibilityartifactartefact at the grey white matter junction, in the corpus callosum or the brain stem
