MR imaging protocol on 1.5T magnet
| Pulse Sequence | TE (ms) | TR (ms) | FOV (cm) | Thickness (mm) | Gap/Overlap (mm) | Fat Suppression (Y/N) | Contrast (Y/N) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Precontrast | ||||||||
| Sag T1 | FSE | Min | <600 | 20 | 3 | 0.5 | No | N |
| Cor T1 | FSE | Min | <600 | 16 | 3 | 0.5 | N | N |
| Ax T2 | FSE | 102 | 3400 | 22 | 5 | 1 | Y | N |
| Postcontrast | ||||||||
| Cor T1 | FSE | Min | <600 | 16 | 3 | 0.5 | Y | Y |
| Sag T1 | FSE-XL | Min | <600 | 20 | 3 | 0.5 | Y | Y |
