 The protocol below represents a full Thoracolumbar spine exam. There is significant variation depending on the clinical question and clinician preference.  It is highly suggested to acquire at last one post contrast series with fat saturation if contrast is administered. It is also highly suggested to acquire one series in the dorsal plane, typically a T2 or STIR. For scanning technique, see the [[thoracolumbar_spine|Thoracolumbar Spine MRI Guide]] The protocol below represents a full Thoracolumbar spine exam.
