Using the parallel imaging option can decrease typical scanning times by about 40%. Our engineers saw scanning times* drop from 6.5 minutes to < 3 minutes. Reduced scanning time offers many important benefits, by:
- Lowering the risk for patient motion
- Allowing the addition of the 3D T1 sequence to many, if not all, brain imaging protocols
- Providing the opportunity to scan more patients during the day
The 3.0 T scanner models listed below have been validated for use with NeuroQuant and shown to provide accurate and consistent segmentation as compared to a 3.0 T 3D T1 protocol without parallel imaging. The parallel imaging validation was performed and should only be used with NeuroQuant 2.0.

If your scanner model is not listed and are interested in using parallel imaging to decrease typical imaging times, please contact us. We are open to working with you to get your scanner validated.
We have updated our scanner parameters to include parallel imaging. You can download them here.
* Parallel imaging scan times are estimates and may vary based on customer specific situations
