Augmentation of time management in MRI brain non -co-operative patients with routine sequences by comparing of T2 and T2 propeller brain axial image acquisition

Abstract

Objective The objective of this study is to estimate how to manage time in non-cooperative individuals having an MRI brain study. Place and duration of the study The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro sciences. Bangalore. Between February 1st and March 30th, 2022, there will be a 59-day period. Methodology This is a prospective observational study. The study included 30 non-cooperative MRI brain patients with three different types of clinical complaints. Images and time were acquired using standard MRI sequences: T2axial, T2 PROPELLER axial, and both sequences (T2 axial&T2 PROPELLER axial) image acquisition techniques. They were classified into three categories based on clinical complaints, with radiographs obtained using standard protocols with and without T2 PROPELLER with each category. Data is analysed using R software version 4.1.2 and Excel. Categorical variables are given in the form of frequency table. To check the inter-rater agreement Fleiss Kappa is used. P-value less than or equal to 0.05 indicates statistical significance. Results In non-cooperative patients, time can be decreased by employing the T2 PROPELLER axial sequence in conjunction with standard sequences, and scans can be adequate for a mediocre investigation. two significant agreement present between 3 technologists for Impact on motion artifacts in T2 Axial and Impact on non-co-operative patients in T2 propeller. Conclusion For non-cooperative patients and healthcare practitioners, the T2 propeller axial sequence can be employed to reduce time - and - motion artefacts.
