We report our clinical experience of implementing fast MRI sequences into the most performed brain MRI protocols at a large academic center, which resulted in significant decrease of gradient times on both 1.5T and 3T scanners. The overall scan times were reduced by up to 40% for the longest examinations, with all included brain MRI protocols now being under 20 minutes. The potential benefits of reduced scan time include increased imaging volume throughput and improved patient access. During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the decreased scan times also accommodated heightened infection control protocols to help protect both patients and healthcare workers.
