ABSTRACT
Background: One of the main advantages of MRI is the excellent soft tissue discrimination in the images. The contrast characteristics of each image depend on many variables, and it is important that the mechanisms that effect image contrast in MRI are understood. Aim: To optimize or formulate a specific set of sequences in MRI protocol for both routine and special cases. Objectives: (i) To standardize the MRI protocols. (ii) These protocols may be used for all the centres. (iii) In the absence of radiologist, Technologist will be able to perform the study according to the clinical history of the patients. (iv) It can be better utilized by students of Medical Imaging Technology. (v) Diagnostic accuracy can be made consistent. Recent findings: Studies of diverse populations demonstrate the link between general protocol and optimizes protocol to save the time. Methods: 10 adult cases of each study from the patients in the department of Radiodiagnosis and medical Imaging, Justice K. S. Hegde Hospital, Mangalore, Karnataka, India. Conclusion: This study show that applied moshed of advanced protocols of magnetic resonance imaging can save the time and as well as improved the quality of magnetic resonance imaging images, it also helps the Radiologist for reporting because there will be some less images and save their time, this saved time can be used for another ill patients those who need it. Protocol optimization would have to be performed on a per scanner and per protocol basis. Proper optimization might make accurate aortic flow quantification possible for most scanners.
