MRI in acute spinal trauma Protocol

Our Protocol for "MRI C-SPINE Acute trauma"

•  Sagital  T1 SE(3mm)
• Sagital T2 FSE(3mm)
• Axial Gradient (T2* weighted-CORD HEMTOMA)
• Coronal/Sagital T2 Fat Sat/STIR (According to the injury-Cor-BONY EDEMA,Sag-INJURY in the INTERSPINOUS LIGAMENTS)

Optional

• Axial T2-Concentrated on the area of interest

Our Protocol for "L-SPINE/T-SPINE Acute trauma"

• Sagittal T1W SE (4 mm)
• Sagittal T2W FSE   (4 mm)
• Axial T2W FSE  (4 mm)
• Coronal/Sagital T2 Fat Sat/STIR (According to the injury-Cor-BONY EDEMA,Sag-INJURY in the INTERSPINOUS LIGAMENTS)

In our dept we used to perform a screening of C SPINE along with a CT Brain for significant trauma patients and from the CT C-SPINE the radiologist and neurologist has to decide whether the patient requires an MR Imaging,especially if ligament injury or soft tissue injury,disc or chord injury suspects-It will be helpful in  patient management and surgical input.Recognition of soft tissue injuries helps guide patient management and surgery, results in changes in management, and influences prognosis.
