NATIVE TrueFISP Scanning Workflow with Respiratory Gating (E-line)

Job Aid for scanning workflow of NATIVE TrueFISP with ECG Triggering

NATIVE TrueFISP Scanning Workflow with Respiratory Gating (E-line) syngo E-Line Software NATIVE TrueFISP is a flow-dependent non-contrast enhanced technique for MRA studies of the renal arteries. Because of the challenges of breathing motion, cardiovascular motion, and flow- dependent signal, the NATIVE TrueFISP protocol provides the most optimal results when each of these challenges are compensated for using gating and triggering options. 1. Position the patient on the table preferably in the Head First - Supine position. Feet First positioning will yield more restrictive SAR calculations. TrueFISP pulse sequences are relatively high SAR sequences. (1) (2) (3) SIEMENS 2. Position the Respiratory Cushion (2) on the patient. a. Place and secure the Respiratory Cushion by wrapping the Respiratory Belt (3) around the patient b. Connect the hose (2) from the respiratory cushion into the PERU c. Place the PERU in the PERU Cushion (1) d. Ensure that a consistent respiratory signal is being acquired by checking the Physio- logical Display M RESP RF: 20 /min RP: 3000 ms 3. Position the coil. Landmark & center the patient at the area of the renal arteries. Be sure that the PERU device is not immediately over the area being scanned, as it can create image artifacts on the NATIVE TrueFISP images.

Run the Transverse and Coronal localizers. a. Note: The coronal localizer should include at least one image that shows the right and left renal arteries 5. Open the “NATIVE_trufi3d tra_p2_resp_trig” sequence 6. Position the Acquisition slab over the Renal Arteries a. Note: Position imaging FOV, set upper border of FOV very close to origin of the vessel of interest. Do not include too much of the proximal aorta in the FOV as FOV is limited in the head to foot direction. ............................................................................................................................................................. 10 Unrestricted 0 Published by Siemens Healthcare GmbH © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2020 SIEMENS Master Template Effective Date: 3/5/2020 | HOOD05162003074494 Job Aid Effective Date: XX/XX/XXXX | HOOD/HILS Healthineers Page 2 of 6 Job Aid | NATIVE TrueFISP Scanning Workflow with Respiratory Gating (E-line) Effective Date: 06/09/2020 | HOOD05162003096950 7. Position the Top Inversion Region, so that top of the Inversion Band corresponds to the top of the Acquisition slab a. This ensures that the Inversion region extends well below the Acquisition slab, so that inflowing venous blood will not be imaged ............................................................................................................. wwwwwwwwwww .... www. ............................................................................................................ ............................ ..................................... 8. Go to the Geometry>Inversion tab and add a second inversion region a. Note: The second inversion region helps suppress inflowing venous blood in the inferior vena cava b.

Imaging tips: a. If the patient is an abdominal breather, place the respiratory belt around abdomen. Or, if the patient is a thoracic breather, place the respiration belt around their chest b. The imaging volume can be prescribed as a coronal instead of axial. If changed to a coronal, then increase the phase FOV and add more phase oversampling. An ex- ample of Coronal imaging volume is illustrated below. The yellow box represents the coronal imaging volume, while the blue box represents the axial inversion vol- ume. Note, the upper edge of the inversion volume is planned at the level of the top of the kidneys. A second inversion pulse can be located inferior to the first in- version volume to suppress venous signal from IVC.
