contents The automatic identification of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) sequences can streamline clinical workflows by reducing the time radiologists spend manually sorting and identifying sequences, thereby enabling faster diagnosis and treatment planning for patients. However, the lack of standardization in the parameters of MRI scans poses challenges for automated systems and complicates the generation and utilization of datasets for machine learning research. To address this issue, we propose a system for MRI sequence identification using an unsupervised contrastive deep learning framework. By training a convolutional neural network based on the ResNet-18 architecture, our system classifies nine common MRI sequence types as a 9-class classification problem. The network was trained using an in-house internal dataset and validated on several public datasets, including BraTS, ADNI, Fused Radiology-Pathology Prostate Dataset, the Breast Cancer Dataset (ACRIN), among others, encompassing diverse acquisition protocols and requiring only 2D slices for training. Our system achieves a classification accuracy of over 0.95 across the nine most common MRI sequence types.
