MR ADNI GO/ ADNI 2 Research Protocol

Scan Notes

  • We no longer have to run the phantom Post-scan on these patients. The study people will periodically request a phantom to be run. Joe will have the information if the phantom is needed. 
  • Mr 3 Only – Use The “Adni Go-Adni 2 Human 7 Protocol”
  • Check The Order To See If This Is A “Read”

 Study Subject Scan:

  1. Place a fiducial on the patient's right temple.
  2. Position the patient as straight as possible in the 8-Ch Head Coil.
  3. There are several pages of paperwork that you must fill out as the scan is running. 
  4. The scan time for the patient is approximately 45 minutes. 
  5. The patient can go after the scan is complete.  
  6. Place the paperwork on the inpatient white board when completed. 
  7. Send all images to PACS and DVD, but send the fMRI sequences separately to reduce the "clogging" effect on PACS.
