- Axial Haste(SS TSE) Abdomen & Pelvis
- Coronal Haste(SS TSE) Abdomen & Pelvis
- Coronal GRE in/out phase T1
- Axial DWI Abdomen only
- T2 fat sat Abdomen Abdomen & Pelvis
- True FISP Axial Abdomen & Pelvis
- STIR coronal Abdomen & Pelvis
- Pre contrast LAVA/VIBE
Timing run:
- Post contrast Dynamic Abdomen LAVA/VIBE
- Post contrast Delay Abdomen & Pelvis
- The acquisition of MR images with steady-state free precession sequences (true fast imaging with steady-state precession [FISP], balanced fast field echo, or fast imaging employing steady-state acquisition) is optional . With these pulse sequences, images may be acquired in the coronal or axial plane. The sequences also provide excellent morphologic contrast while being fast and reliable.
- A coronal short inversion time inversion-recovery (STIR) sequence covering the entire abdomen and pelvis should be used with free breathing for Acute abdomen. The use of such a sequence requires as much as 3 minutes of imaging time and leads to a good overview, with enhanced depiction of free fluid within the abdominal cavity
- T1-weighted sequences used after the administration of gadolinium-based contrast agents enable improved depiction of the bowel wall, for example, inflammatory bowel wall thickening or perfusion defects, as well as the assessment of abscesses
- The exact value of diffusion-weighted imaging in acute abdominal or pelvic diseases has not yet been established. Only the combination of diffusion-weighted images and ADC maps will enable the assessment of diffusion. Some investigators have suggested that diffusion-weighted imaging might also be used as an alternative to contrast agent–enhanced sequences and might be a promising technique for the depiction of inflammatory changes.
