|NOTES| -Pre and post contrast \\ -Choose FSE for metal artifacts| -High ETL may cause blurring \\ -If using FatSat, decrease TE to 70-80 -TE 500+ for myelo| \\ -Superior FatSat over large FOV \\ -Do not scan post contrast -Low inherent SNR| \\ -Sensitive to subtle contrast  \\ -Scan with 2 concat \\ -Keep TR very long|Many variants \\ -T1: FLASH;VIBE \\ -T2*:GRE;MEDIC \\ -T2* for Hemo \\ -Can be 3D for thin slice \\ -Can be 3D for isotropic|-Low resolution \\ -Low SNR \\ -Not sensitive to gad \\ -Scan for ischemia \\ -EPI artifacts|
