MRI protocols
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
MRI protocols are a combination of various MRI sequences, designed to optimally assess a particular region of the body and/or pathological process.
There are some general principles of protocol design for each area. However, the specifics of a protocol are dependent on MRI hardware and software, radiologist's and referrer's preference, patient factors (e.g. allergy) and time constraints.
The implementation of a protocols has 3 chief purposes:
- maximising diagnostic quality
- delivery of consistency in scan quality
- efficient and effective radiology service delivery
It is also good practice to review departmental or institutional protocols on a regular basis.
