Brain Tumours

MRI ROUTINE PROTOCOL FOR BRAIN TUMOURS

• MRI: routine protocol

• T1-weighted sequence before IV contrast medium • Axial T2 weighted • Axial T2 weighted FLAIR sequence (for lesions within the cortex or paraventricular - useful in low grade gliomas) • Axial Diffusion Weighted • Axial T2*-weighted sequence (sensitive to blood and calcifications) • Contrast enhanced T1 weighted sequences
