LOCALISER/ SCOUT. HOW TO SPEED THINGS UP

Localiser/ scout is often a forgotten topic. Why is this important? Because this is the very first sequence you run in a protocol, and it should be efficient and precise at all time. I will break down some tips and tricks how to speed this up. Hopefully, the results will be either equal or better localisers than you have today within a shorter scantime.
Thanks for watching and following, hope you find this video interesting and valuable

Thank you, very valuable info!

Great tips Bac! Many techs think of the loc as a throw away sequence that doesn't matter but it's very important. I would also recommend a short video on using the loc to check positioning and coil placement.

Where did you pull the Haste 2 step from? I'm on a Siemens Magnetom 1.5 Aera, but our software is older. Our Whole Spine doesn't include that option.

@Nguyen_MRI 4 жыл бұрын

Just custom made from our routinely protocol. Can find these haste from abdomen in the siemens tree. And just optimise then.

I have heard that using a flash or SE based localizer will give you a better SAR calculation for the rest of the exam vs. the HASTE. Any truth to that?

@Nguyen_MRI 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I haven’t heard of it and haven’t been meeting any problems regarding sar whenever using haste. However, I think its more important how your sequences are optimised throughout your exam. Where did you hear this? I mean have you been experience this?

@@Nguyen_MRI I heard it from apps, but that was many years ago. I haven't gotten a chance to test it

Ok thanks. Really interesting though. Nevertheless, pushing haste as original from siemens tree will enhance sar issue. So it need to be modify from my opinion due to sar.

@mihaimoldo Жыл бұрын

Localizer on siemens are a flash based. If you go in Protocol-part 1 (or 2) you see the name of the sequence is flash. I've noticed when using haste loc instead of Flash you sometimes get the SAR pop-up. I think it's due to the lower TR and the flip angle , I didn't reduce it at first like Bac did.

I have a question that is a little unrelated please. Why is it that some patient seems to make the SAR levels go up. I had a patient for an L spine who told me on a previous scan he got very warm. While doing his spine i noticed that his sar levels were getting higher than with regular patients.
