| Localizer (REF scan) |
Mode | Slice | Gap | FAT SAT | FOV | Scan Range | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AXIAL | 3D T1 | FFE | None | 26cm | DO NOT ANGLE. Cover above the vertex of the brain at least 1 cm. Cover the nose. | ||
| AXIAL | (GPI) MPRAGE | 3D | ISO | ISO | None | DO NOT CHANGE | DO NOT ANGLE. There should be plenty of slices for coverage built in. No need for extra coverage like for stereotactic sequences. |
| AXIAL | DTI | 2 | 0 | None | 26cm | DO NOT ANGLE. Cover the Entire Brain. No need for extra coverage like for stereotactic sequences. |
A 3D t1 axial acquisition must be performed in conjunction with the DTI
