The purpose of this study was to develop a routine express MRI protocol for pediatric brain imaging that would provide consistent and robust image quality in one-fourth the scan time of current industry standard protocols, utilizing Fast Spin Echo (FSE) T1, FLAIR, T2w, Gradient Echo (GRE) T2*, and Diffusion Weighted Echo Plane Imaging (DW-EPI) sequences. Evaluation was performed on a group of 20 patients and results indicated that imaging using the express brain protocol was of clinically sufficient diagnostic quality and allowed for a significant reduction in overall scan times compared to industry standard routine brain imaging protocols.
