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
