MR CSOM230C - Acromegaly Research Protocol
Scan Notes:
- This exam is done as a routine pituitary study with specific parameters for these 4 sequences.
- You can add/subtract slices to ensure that you have full coverage of the mass, and change the TR accordingly, but DO NOT change and other parameters (e.g. matrix, FoV, NSA, Slice thickness/gap, etc.)
