A set of case studies of the implementation of Advanced Acceleration Technology (AAT) at a UK MR centres are provided below. The case studies are either protocol specific, or at the level of whole service impact. They have been compiled by the IPEM MR AAT task and finish group. It is important to note that these case studies were collected from different centres and therefore protocols may be centre specific. We hope that they provide useful information for those wishing to implement AAT on their scanners.
