AutoVoiceCommands – Seamlessly integrated into the scanning workflow. • System plays voice commands automatically at preferred time point • Assists user in providing the optimal timing of scanning, breathing and contrast media • User can monitor which breath-hold or pauses are actually played, and could add pauses between the automatic breath-hold commands 84 syngo® MR Systems with DOTGo Technology | Turnover Workbook Inline Subtraction- Within the contrast-enhanced abdomen exam, multiple Notes phases are acquired: • Native, arterial phase, portal-venous phase and late-phase • Scanner automatically subtracts the native measurement from the arterial, portal-venous and late phase. Inline Registration – For best visualization of lesions the system can be set to automatically perform a registration/alignment of the anatomy for the different dynamic phases. The importance of registration/correction can be seen when examining nodular enhancing pathologies. 19.13 Cardiac Dot Engine – optional license The Cardiac Dot Engine offers several features that help to handle the complexity of cardiac MRI exams with confidence. Exam strategies can be selected based on the patients physiological conditions, and all protocols are adapted accordingly. The AutoAlign Heart feature makes the localization easier than ever, and gives you the next step in workflow with fully automated positioning of the 2, 3, and 4 chamber views and a stack of short axis views. Standard views of the heart are easily generated and can be reproduced using different scanning techniques. The Cardiac Dot Engine also offers different workflows for ventricular function and ischemic heart disease. 19.14 Cardiac Dot Engine - Features Increased patient throughput Consistency in slice positioning for reliable image quality over multiple exams Ease-of-use, helping bring cardiac MRI into your clinical routine AutoFoV (automatic Field of View calculation) – Based on the localizer images • Optimal FoV is automatically estimated • Patient movement during exam, step can be repeated at any time Automatic parameter adaption – Scan parameters are automatically adapted to the patient’s condition (heart rate, etc.) AutoAlign Heart – Based on the localizer images • Automatic detection of cardiac landmarks is obtained and used to optimally plan cardiac exams without user interaction • Fully automatic planning process results in 2, 3, and 4 chamber views and a stack of short axis views • Patient movement during exam, step can be repeated at any time Automated localization – Automated localization of short-axis views Guided slice positioning – Easy way to match slice positions (short-axis) between cine, dynamic imaging, tissue characterization 85 syngo® MR Systems with DOTGo Technology | Turnover Workbook Cardiac Views – easy selection of cardiac views ( e.g., 3 chamber view) Notes during scan planning Inline Ventricular-Function Evaluation – syngo® Inline VF performs volumetric evaluation of cardiac cine data fully automatically right after image reconstruction. • No user input necessary • If needed, inline calculated segmentation results can be loaded to 4D Ventricular Function Analysis for further review or processing. Cardiac specific layout of Exam Task card – Automatically chosen layouts show the physio display and are configured for every step of the exam Automatic display of images – automatic display of images in dedicated cardiac image orientations instead of the standard DICOM orientations. Adaptive triggering – acquisition adapts in realtime to heart rate variations for non-cine applications. Automated Naming – Automated naming of series depending on cardiac view and contrast. AutoVoiceCommands – AutoVoiceCommands are seamlessly integrated into the scanning workflow • System plays voice commands automatically at preferred time point • Assists user in providing the optimal timing of scanning, breathing and contrast media • User can monitor which breath-hold or pauses are actually played, and could add pauses between the automatic breath-hold commands 19.15 Cardiac Dot Engine – Customization Existing Dot Engines can be modified by the user to their individual standard of care. • Add/remove portocol steps • Changed guidance content (images and text) • Change Dot exam Strategies and Decision Points • Modify the Parameter View 19.16 Breast Dot Engine – optional license There are predefined Breast Dot Engines for lesion and implant evaluation, as well as biopsy procedures. Intelligent frequency handling helps ease implant imaging, individual frequency adjustment is made possible by the Breast Dot engine, allowing you to adapt your scans for different types of breast tissue, such as fatty or glandular tissue, unilateral small silicone or saline implants. Step-by-step guidance with images and text is integrated, and both images and text are easily configurable by the user. In case of biopsy, the Breast Dot Engine immediately dispays the calculated cooridnates at the Dot Display right at the MR scanner.
