MRI Routine Brain - Important Structures (Coronal) - Video Lesson

Hey, everyone. Welcome to today's lesson on MRI of the routine brain. In this lesson, we will discuss the anatomy of coronal images and slice position a technologist needs to know. Let's get started. When performing a study of the brain, a variety of weightings and planes of imaging will be included on a protocol. It is important to carefully review and follow protocols established by radiologists. To align coronal slices, the slice group will be perpendicular to a line drawn from the genu to the splenium of the corpus callosum. Some technologists may align slices with the posterior aspect of the brain stem. All anatomy from the frontal sinus through the occipital lobe should be covered by the slice group. Now let's look at some useful anatomy on the resulting coronal images. Starting anteriorly, basic structures include the gray matter, white matter, frontal lobe, globe, and the air filled maxillary and ethmoid sinus. The globe and CSF.
