Step-by-step instructions
- Open a scan session.
- Enter the scanning range (LIP to SAR) so 2D and 3D acquisitions have images collected in the same direction within the examination.
Available ranges:
- Left (L) to right (R)
- Inferior (I) to superior (S)
- Posterior (P) to anterior (A)
- Multiple groups and offsets in two directions can be prescribed in orthogonal acquisitions. In oblique acquisitions, only multiple groups can be prescribed.
- Axial images with a two direction offset prescribed explicitly results in a tilted image on the screen. Note that the annotation is correct.
- S/I offsets bring the anatomy to isocenter by moving the table. You are prompted to move the table before prescanning.
- A/P and L/R offsets cannot be larger than 240 mm for body and surface coil imaging, or 120 mm for head coil imaging.
- In 3-Plane Localizer acquisitions, the FOV Center determines the center of the FOV for the middle slice of each plane. For example, if you prescribe three slices per plane are selected, the second slice of each plane is located at the FOV Center.
- To modify the end location or to add or subtract slices, enter a different value for the number of locations.
The system automatically updates the actual end location.
