Magnetization-Prepared Rapid Gradient Echo MRI

**Semantic type:** Diagnostic Procedure

**Definition:** A magnetic resonance imaging modality that offers rapid imaging time, easy reconstruction of any plane, and three-dimensional surface contour rendering with cut away postprocessing. Especially useful for imaging brain, MP-RAGE captures high tissue contrast and provides high spatial resolution with whole brain coverage in a short scan time.
