READY View

Important: Care should be taken when using quantitative measures of cerebral blood flow from 3DASL in clinical populations. Differences in CBF values may be seen when the same subject is scanned on different systems and coils. Diagnostic and treatment decisions should not be based solely on these absolute values.

Warning

Do not use 3D views only to perform voxel value, distance, angle, or area measurements. Always refer to 2D baseline views.

Important: Diffusion Tensor images attempt to characterize behavior of water molecules in imaged tissue. Therefore, fiber tracking representation actually displays algorithmically predicted water molecule direction. These displays may be only representative of the actual white matter anatomy. A trained neuro radiologist is required to make the association between the rendered tract display and the actual patient’s anatomy.

CAUTION

Failure to place the ROI as described will negatively impact the output measurement.

CAUTION

Always click Compute again to re–compute the functional maps after making changes to the input parameters. The changes are not taken into account automatically.

CAUTION

It is possible that READY View results of the calculated T2* and R2* values have an error with acquisitions that have a large slice number value.

Warning

Under no circumstances should the pixel value from saved functional maps be used by any software applications that rely on Hounsfield values. This applies, in particular, to dose computation software applications.
