Technical notes for "Parotid MRI Protocol"

Axials – Frontal Sinus to epiglottis, if Neck required – continue axials to sternal notch.
Coronals – posterior mastoid to anterior head mandible. *Cover tumour if seen

If neck required: GE - Ax T1 and T2 are continued as a second set of axials (smaller FOV) overlapping Ax locations from above and continuing to top of aorta (sternal notch).

Upper and Lower axial T1’s and T2’s are bound together and saved as separate series.
