Neuroradiology MRI Protocols

The following protocols are an updated list of the Neuroradiology MRI protocols for all of the MRI sites at which TRA Medical Imaging is responsible for the administration, quality and interpretation of Neuroradiology MRI examinations. The protocols were changed in an attempt to standardize the sequences performed at each of the sites and to reflect changes within the radiology literature as to what is considered standard of care. These protocols were discussed and agreed upon by members of the Neuroradiology section within TRA Medical Imaging. Based on scanning times at TRA Union, these protocols are all less than 45 minutes in length with exclusion of the Peds spine cases. It is recognized that not all of the magnets within our system will be able to perform some of the new sequences or techniques. These protocols are divided into 4 sections: Brain, Head and Neck, Neurovascular and Spine.
