-====Brain MRI Protocol====+=====Brain MRI Protocol=====
  
-===Typical Scan Protocol=== +The protocol below represents a full brain exam. There is variation depending on the clinical question and clinician preference. Note that some sequences such as the DWI have specific use cases and should be considered required if their indication is present, ie if an ischemic stroke is the clinical question, don't skip the DWI! It is highly suggested to acquire at last one post contrast series with fat saturation. For scanning technique, see the [[mri_brain|Brain MRI Guide]]
