Synopsis

Motivation: MRI is the best imaging modality due to its excellent resolution and contrast differentiation of soft tissue. However, MRI is scarce and lengthy, yielding low patient throughput and delays in the diagnosis and management of health conditions. It is crucial to have an appropriate imaging protocol to minimize delays in the management of any health conditions for improved health outcomes and quality of life.

Goal(s): To advocate for early diagnosis and management of health conditions for improved quality of life in developing countries.

Approach: Case study

Results: MRI showed a thin encapsulated lesions with a lobular pattern, which were in line with lipoma.

Impact: Appropriate MRI protocols will minimize unnecessary sequences and improve patient throughput and early diagnosis for improved health outcomes in developing countries.
