What is the right FOV and its impact on scan time?

The Field of View (FOV) can be independently defined along the frequency (readout) and phase directions, as indicated by the directional arrows. These settings are located in the Geometry tab when you open a pulse sequence by double-clicking it in the sequence list.

Recommended FOV values depend on the anatomical region being examined. If you are enrolled in an MRI program using Corsmed for hands-on or practical training, we recommend following your instructor’s guidance.

You can also refer to the Standard Protocols for optimized sequence examples based on established MRI best practices, which can be helpful when exploring independently.
