This ExamCard is intended to provide a quick abdominal - pelvic exam that is suitable for visualization of the abdominal pelvic cavity. Included sequences were based on discussions that occurred during the 2009 BodyOnco Council.
Please refer to the application tip that can be found in
FieldStrength issue 41 (September 2010) or by clicking on the link below for additional information on the individual scans.
The SENSE Torso XL coil should be positioned on the patient to cover the anatomy of interest. Typically if the bottom of the coil is placed at the level of the pubic symphysis this will provide necessary signal to image the organs of the abdominal pelvic cavity.
This ExamCard uses respiratory triggering and therefore the respiratory belt should be placed according to instructions available in the Application Guide delivered with the system. If respiratory navigator is available (R 2.6 and higher) it can be used as a alternative to the respiratory belt.
Timing of the card assumes that the site is using a power injector and that venous access is obtained prior to the initiation of the ExamCard.
MPR and MobiView post processing is added to the ExamCard. These post processing steps will be automatically performed.
