This is intended as a guideline only. Almost every centre uses different protocols depending on the type of system and radiological preference. However, this section can be helpful for those practitioners scanning without a radiologist, or where the examination is so rare that perhaps neither the radiologist nor the practitioner knows how to proceed. The protocol description is mainly limited to scan plane, weighting, pulse sequence(s) and why it is used. For details of suggested protocol parameters see Table 2.1.

It must be stressed that all the protocols listed are only a reflection of the authors’ practice and research. However, the protocols provided in this section are considered to be the most commonly used. In most examinations, there is a section reserved for Additional techniques. These are not regarded as routine but may be included in the examination. Of course, some practitioners may regard what we call ‘additional’ as ‘routine’, and vice versa.
