Sequence Weighting Change Parameters? Change # slices? Coverage/ Angulation Notes
3 plane localizer - NO NO No Angle Try to position the patient as straight as possible in the scanner to give a midline slice.
Calibration(ref scan) - NO - -
SAG 3D MPRAGE / IRSPGR NO 170 slices. Do not change slices. No Angle Straight sagittal. Full head coverage. Cover entire head, cerebellum. Include the entire nose.
AX T2 FLAIR NO Ok to add slices Ok to angle Full brain coverage. Acquisition stack should be placed just above the most superior point in the brain and should fully cover the cerebellum as well as all brain in the lateral and the anterior to posterior planes. If extra transverse slices are required to achieve this coverage, please acquire those slices.
AX DWI NO Ok to add slices Ok to angle Full brain coverage. The acquisition stack should be placed just above the most superior point in the brain and should fully cover the cerebellum a well as all brain in the lateral and the anterior to posterior planes. If extra transverse slices are required to achieve this coverage, please acquire those slices.
AX GRE NO Ok to add slices Ok to angle Full brain coverage. The acquisition stack should be placed just above the most superior point in the brain and should fully cover the cerebellum a well as all brain in the lateral and the anterior to posterior planes. If extra transverse slices are required to achieve this coverage, please acquire those slices.
