MR Orbits WWO Neuro Protocol

Last updated: 3/18/22
Charge as: Orbits WWO
Scanner preference: Avoid MR1, if possible.
Coil: Head

Coronal orbits coverage: Anterior margin of globe to anterior surface of pons, perpendicular to axis of the orbital segment of the optic nerves.

Axial orbits coverage:  Superior margin of orbital rim to inferior margin of orbital rim, angled to be in-plane with the orbital segments of the optic nerves. 

Plane Weighting Mode Slice (mm) Gap (mm) FAT SAT FOV (cm) MPR Notes
