Brain stereotaxis protocol (MRI)
The brain MRI stereotactic study, also known as frame-based stereotactic MRI study or conventional brain MRI stereotaxis, is a localization MRI protocol that delineates an intracranial structure or lesion in relation to a three-dimension coordinate system allowing precise surgical access to them...
Article
Brain screen protocol (MRI)
Brain screen protocol is a simple non-contrast MRI protocol comprising a group of basic MRI sequences as a useful approach when imaging the brain when no particular condition is being sought (e.g. headache). The protocol is designed to obtain a good general overview of the brain. Additionally, t...
Article
Brain tumor protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for brain tumor assessment is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach CNS tumors in general.
Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist's and referr...
Article
Stroke protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for stroke assessment is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach brain ischemia.
CT is still the choice as the first imaging modality in acute stroke institutional protocols, not only because the availability and the easy and fast access to a CT scanner, but also due...
Article
Brain infection protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for brain infection assessment is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach CNS infections in general.
Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software, radiologist's an...
Article
Brain trauma protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for brain trauma is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach traumatic brain injury, especially diffuse axonal injury.
Note: This article is intended to outline some general principles of protocol design. The specifics will vary depending on MRI hardware and software...
Article
Demyelination protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for demyelinating diseases is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach these white matter disorders characterized by the destruction or damage of normally myelinated structures. These disorders may be inflammatory, infective, ischemic or toxic in origin.
Historically...
Article
Epilepsy protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for epilepsy is a set of MRI sequences aimed at improving sensitivity and specificity in identifying possible structural abnormalities that underlie epilepsy (e.g. mesial temporal sclerosis and malformation of cortical development).
Perhaps more than most other MRI protocols, stud...
Article
Quick stroke protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for a quick stroke assessment corresponds to a short protocol, usually just the DWI/ADC, adopted by some institutions as a complementary tool to the CT imaging in stroke code patients. The aim is to provide additional information to support stroke diagnosis within the narrow time wi...
Article
Pineal and tectal plate protocol (MRI)
MRI protocol for the pineal and tectal plate assessment is a group of MRI sequences put together to best approach tumors involving this region.
The pineal region is best imaged with MRI although CT, angiography, and ultrasound (in infants) also play a role. Please refer to the article pineal r...
