Table 4. Whole Body MRI Protocol Including Coronal T2 Image in Asan Medical Center.

No. Sequence (Total Scan Time, 33 min)
1 Whole body (vertex to knee): coronal, T2-WI, TSE DFS, 5 mm contiguous sectioning
2. Whole spine: sagittal, T1-WI, TSE, section thickness 3.9 mm
3 Whole spine: sagittal, FS T2-WI, section thickness 3.9 mm
4 Whole body (vertex to knee): axial T1-WI, VIBE, FS Dixon. Section thickness 5 mm
Water only, fat only, in-phase, and opposed-phase sequences
5 Whole body: axial, DWEPI, 5 mm contiguous sectioning, two b-values (50 sec/mm2, 900 sec/mm2)
• ADC calculations with monoexponetial data fitting
• 3D MIP reconstructions of highest b-value images
6 Brain: axial, T1-WI SE , FS, section thickness 5 mm

ADC = apparent diffusion coefficient, DFS = Dixon-based fat saturated, DWEPI = diffusion-weighted echo planar image, FS = fat suppression, MIP = maximum intensity projection, SE = spin echo, TSE = turbo-spin echo, VIBE = volumetric interpolated breath-hold sequence, WI = weighted imaging
