Generic ratio protocol
These images will be acquired prior to contrast injection All parameters the same as for dynamic protocol except: 15 degree flip angle 8 NEX (averages) Repeat second time with body RCV
Generic T1 protocol
These images will be acquired prior to contrast injection All parameters the same as for dynamic protocol except: 3, 6, 9, 15, 24, 35 degree flip angles (may need to be adjusted – look-up table dependent on TR and scanner) 4 NEX
