MR Angiography Abdomen Pelvis 1.5T

Siemens Healthineers – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions: • Establish clear communication with the patient prior to the procedure regarding breath hold instructions
• Position arms close by the side to minimize the required field of view in the right-left direction
Common Indications: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, artery stenosis or occlusion, dissection or vasculitis if contraindications for contrast
Position: Supine, head first
Coil: Body Array Coil (two in tandem if available)
Landmark: Mid-abdomen

Contrast Agents	Dose	Injection Rate	Dose Timing Method and Scan Delay
Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY)	0.05 mmol/kg	1.5 mL/sec	Fluoro triggered to abdominal aorta opacification
Saline Flush	20 mL	1.5 mL/sec	Immediately following gadolinium
Comments	• Report agent administered and dose • Use minimal dose for patients with a GFR <30 mL/sec
