Liver Donor MRI Protocol

• HASTE Cor No fat sat. 4 mm slices
• HASTE Ax No fat sat. 5 mm slices
• Thick Slab Obl Straight  
• Thick Slab Obl 30° to the right 
• 3D PACE Cor/Obl
• T1 in/out Ax
• VIBE Ax Try to get effective thickness 2mm. Include pancreas in FOV.
• 3D FLASH Cor
• Timing Run Ax Thru porta hepatis– 1cc at 2cc/sec followed by 20 cc saline at 2cc/sec
• 3D FLASH Cor 1 measure
• VIBE Ax 1 measure
•  LEAVE PATIENT IN MAGNET INJECT TESLASCAN.  WAIT 10 MINUTES AND BE READY FOR FIRST POST VIBE
• THE REST OF THE STUDY IS DONE ON INSPIRATION
• VIBE Obl Cor High Resolution (~1x1mm) FA=35 PARALLEL TO INTRAHEP DUCTS
• VIBE Ax High resolution (~1 x 1 mm) FA=35
