What is Ultrafast Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Neurological Emergencies: Diagnostic Accuracy and Impact on Patient Management about?
## Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate diagnostic accuracy and impact on patient management of an ultrafast (4:33 minutes/5 sequences) brain magnetic resonance imaging (mri) protocol for the detection of intracranial pathologies in acute neurological emergencies. ## Materials and methods: Four hundred forty-nine consecutive emergency patients with acute nontraumatic neurological symptoms were evaluated for this institutional review board-approved prospective single-center trial. sixty patients (30 female, 30 male; mean age, 61 years) with negative head ct were included and underwent emergency brain mri at 3 t subsequent to ct. mri included the ultrafast protocol (ultrafast-mri; sag t1 gre, ax t2 tse, ax t2 tse flair, ax t2\* epi-gre, ax dwi ss-epi; ta, 5 minutes) and an equivalent standard-length protocol (ta, 15 minutes) as reference standard. two blinded board-certified neuroradiologists independently analyzed the mri with regard to image quality (1, nondiagnostic; 2, substantial artifacts; 3, satisfactory; 4, minor artifacts; 5, no artifacts) and intracranial pathologies. sensitivity and specificity for the detection of intracranial pathologies were calculated a
