Scanning Times for Each Sequence

Sequence	Scan Time (min:s)	Standard MRI Scan Timesa (min:s)
Prescan calibration	1:03	0:32
Localizer	0:18	0:15
T1 weighted (axial)	4:54	1:30
T2W (axial)	7:03	1:52
Fluid attenuated inversion recovery (axial)	9:31	3:53
T2W (coronal)	7:03	3:17b
Diffusion-weighed imaging + apparent diffusion coefficient map	9:04	1:36
Total	38:56	12:55

T2W = T2 weighted.

^aAcquisition time from sample patient scans acquired on a GE Medical Signa HDxt 1.5T scanner.

^bAcquisition time from a partial brain volume. T2 coronal not routinely acquired for clinical purposes.
