MAGiC DWI (Synthetic DWI) scan procedure

MAGiC DWI (Synthetic DWI) may not be for sale in all markets due to approval or clearance by in-country regulatory agencies.

Use these steps to synthesize b-value diffusion weighted images using scanned DWI data. MAGiC DWI uses acquired DWI images to synthesize new DWI images with user selected b-values. The acquired DWI images must have, at a minimum, 2 values, one of the b-values may be a T2 image.

Synthetic DWI is commercially known as MAGiC DWI.

Warning

Before you acquire a MAGiC DWI scan review the following:

MAGiC DWI images may show different contrast from images acquired directly with DWI due to different TE, Intra-Voxel Incoherent Motion effect (in liver), and in the brain, restricted diffusion effect.
MAGiC DWI may show artifacts or incorrect image calculations in moving organs.
MAGiC DWI may show artifacts due to diffusion distortion. Thus, to minimize the artifact, it is recommended to select Real Time Field Adjustment scan parameter from the Details tab .
MAGiC DWI should not be used in ADC calculation in READY View, FuncTool, or any other 3rd party tools.
Diagnosis should not be made by only reviewing the synthesized images.
