MR MRV Brain WO or WWO Neuro Protocol
MRV WO:
Always acquired in both axial and coronal planes.
“M2D”= Multiple 2D. Multiple single slice acquisition. A number of slices are scanned in sequential order.
3D CE-MRV:
- Power inject contrast
- 3 acquisitions: Pre-contrast mask, 1 min post-injection, 3 min post-injection
- Create subtraction spinner 3D MIPs using mask and 1 min acquisition
