The purpose of this research is to find out information differences in image between two techniques from MRI 0,3 . Hopefully, it will be useful for radiographers to produce high quality post contrast images. Samples of this research were 30 patients having MRI brain tumor examination then were set with 2 sequences (spin echo and fast spin echo). Result was analized by using questionnaire observed by 3 radiologist. Data were then analized with Mann-Whitney and description of images was given. Result indicated that There were statistically differences between spin echo and fast spin echo post contrast T1 weighting image. Result showed that there were differences in post contrast T1 weighting image quality between spin echo and fast spin echo sequence. Statistically, with mann whitney test the differences were significant, with p value 0,000 (p less than 0,5).
