MR Pediatric HIE COOL Brain WO Protocol
Scan notes:
Extend SAG 3D Slice Coverage 1-2 Mm Beyond The Skin Margin, Not Necessarily To Cover The Ears. This Ensures Adequate Coverage/Signal On The AX And COR MPRs. Generate OBL COR And AXIAL MPRs From This Sequence. MPRAGE Is The Same As 3DTFE And 3D FAST SPGR.

Charge as: Brain WO, COW, MRS, & DTI
Scanner preference: 3T only. MR2 if patient has implant
