BRAVO, MPRAGE and 3D T1-TFE: the 3D T1 volume
A thin-slice T1 volume that can be reformatted in any plane. This is what it is used for and what it needs.
3D T1 volume (BRAVO / 3D T1-TFE / MPRAGE)
T1 contrast with strong grey-white difference, 1 mm in every direction.
Cortical anatomy for epilepsy, volumetry, surgical navigation, and post-contrast imaging that can be reformatted in any plane.
After contrast, small vessels are bright and can look like metastases. Less sensitive to enhancement than spin-echo T1.
This page is one entry from the MRI Technologist Reference
The full reference has 31 protocols, 9 dynamic study timelines, 19 artifacts, 16 scanner problems and 15 safety topics, as a PDF in English and Arabic plus an interactive tool.
Educational reference. It does not replace your site protocols, the radiologist's instructions, the MR safety officer, or the manufacturer's instructions for any implant, device or contrast agent. Parameter values are typical starting points at 1.5 T and must be adapted to the scanner, coil and patient.
