Nasopharynx MRI technique

• 3 Plane Loc
• Sag T1 Flair 
• Ax Flair T1 
• Cor Flair T1 
• Ax FrFSE T2 
• Cor FrFSE T2 
• Ax FrFSE T2 FS  (frontal sinus to hyoid*only*)
• OPT-Ax FSE T1 post gad T1 fat sat(frontal sinus to epliglottis)
• OPT-Cor FSE T1 post gad  T1 fat sat

Axials – Frontal Sinus to epiglottis, if Neck required – continue axials to sternal notch. 
Coronals – posterior clinoid to anterior nose (do not clip). *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.
