Performing an MRI
Various MRI sequences were performed (without injection) according to a new protocol developed at the ICM. This acquisition protocol consists of anatomical and diffusion sequences lasting approximately 1 hour. The acquisitions were performed in a 3T MRI scanner, in the supine position with the palms facing upwards. Gadolinium was not used in our study.
