Clinical MRI protocols

Clinical MRI protocols are standardized procedures used by healthcare professionals to obtain detailed images of the body's internal structures using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These protocols outline specific settings and techniques tailored to examine various body parts, such as the brain, spine, or joints. Each protocol includes instructions on patient positioning, the type of MRI sequences to apply, and the use of contrast agents if necessary. The goal is to ensure consistent and accurate imaging, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of medical conditions. Following these protocols helps radiologists interpret the images effectively for patient care.
