Abstract:
This article reviews standard brain and spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocols, including supplementary sequences, and outlines practical interpretation guidelines from a radiological perspective. For brain MRI, acquiring all orthogonal planes (axial, sagittal, and coronal) is preferable over reliance on axial images alone. Experienced clinicians should carefully select sequences to optimize scan time, diagnostic accuracy, and patient comfort by including necessary sequences while omitting non-essential sequences.

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
