1 Body MRI General Comments 1. All body imaging should be performed on a 1.5 T magnet unless body habitus necessitates the larger bore of the 3 T. 2. DWI is now considered standard protocol for all solid organ or mass workup with MRI. 3. Blade or propeller techniques for T2WI should be performed whenever possible in the setting of a poor breath-holder or other movement. These techniques should not be used otherwise. 4. If Eovist for liver MRI, omit only the delayed hepatocyte phase. 5. Continue to contact a radiologist for female pelvis MRI protocol = "Nish Pelvis" vs. "King Pelvis". Please note that all female pelvis MRI should have a straight sagittal T2 (not FS) and a T1 FS Pre GAD. Reviewed by Dr. King 4/2016
2 Liver 1.5 T Magnet Eovist 10 ml for all patients except young peds; Call radiologist for large patients to consider dose doubling. No Eovist if Bilirubin at or above 3 mg/dl If not using Eovist, omit #9 If ordered with MRCP, must do before administration of Eovist 1. 3 Plane LOC, Non-Breath Hold 2. Coronal HASTE Localizer - (BH) - Must include superior dome of diaphragm 3. Axial In/Out - (BH) - Top of diaphragm thruogh duodenal c-loop; Use (BH) Localizer 4. *LIVER IRON QUANT IF REQUESTED* 5. ADC, DWI B50, B400 and B Axial FLASH FS, Pre GAD - Same as Series 3; Run immediately before GAD dose. ST = 4mm, no gap Post GAD FLASH (FS): Inject 1 ml/sec and 20 ml NS chaser at 2 ml/sec; Run 4 acquisitions - 1st = 20 sec delay, may need 30 sec delay if CHF/over 70 y/o; 2nd = Allow a breath then run again; 3rd = ~70 sec after injection; 4th = ~4 min after injection **Do not bolus track with Eovist. **Optimal hepatic arterial phase is when the hepatic artery is heavily contrasted and there is a trace amount of contrast in the portal vein.** 7. Axial T2 FS with TE 90 - Same coverage as Series 3; Respiratory gated; Use non-breath hold Loc; User propeller technique if possible on breathing pts, but ONLY when T2's are poor due to breathing or other 8.
