Cardiac Dot Engine: makes cardiac MR scanning much easier
DOI:10.3969/j.issn.1674-8034.2013.05.008.
| [Abstract] Comparing with head, spine and abdomen MR scanning, cardiac MRI is much less applied for clinical diagnosis, one of the important reasons of which is that cardiac MR scanning is more complicated, therefore, many MR technicians don’t know how to do the patient positioning or how to conduct the whole cardiac scanning process. Cardiac Dot Engine, latest developed by Siemens, provides the solution successfully and makes the cardiac MR scanning much easier. |
