In the paper, we provide recommendations for both a basic structural MRI protocol and an advanced multi-modal MRI protocol (structural MRI, MRS, dMRI, QSM, rs-MRI), including acceptable ranges of acquisition parameters for adequate data quality. We additionally discuss outcome measures relevant for ataxias, based on use cases from available literature.
