[Brains-users] Changing acquisition plane for T2 sequence

[Simone Brockman]

Hi from Australia,
What will happen to the co-registration of T1 and T2 in BRAINS2 if the
T1 is acquired in the coronal plane and the T2 is acquired in the axial
plane? anything? We are wanting to image acute stroke patients with 3D
T1 and T2, but the MRI people have a need to preserve best clinical
practice by doing a dual echo TSE axial, T2 GRE axial and  T1 coronal
(and others - FLAIR, TOF COW  3D axial). They don't want to add the 3D
protocol on top of the exisitng protocol because of time, so we just
want to know if the 3D T2 can be acquired in the axial plane without
impacting on  standard workup, that way ensuring that both parties are
getting what they want.


Thanks

Simone
