MR SMM3001 Total Spine and Pelvis WO Research Protocol
Scan notes:
MR2 only
Scan all sequences under the pelvis accession number
MSK Rads to read
Run as saved in
No parameter changes
Position patient as straight as possible
Ok to increase slices
Do not remove slices
Ok to angle sag stack to spine
Spine stacks must overlap
It may be necessary to add a 3rd SAG stack on very tall patients
Last updated: 4/12/19
Charge as: Ordered as MSK Pelvis and Total Spine WO
Scan all sequences under the Pelvis accession number
Scanner preference: MR2 only
