Breast Bilateral Routine 3.0T

GE Healthcare – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions: • Ensure to increase the FOV as needed to include all breast tissue and axillae; use same FOV for all sequences
• Be careful about reducing FOV; sequences may be signal starved
• Ensure to pull abdominal tissue down to prevent a fold into the coil and FOV
• Ensure to pull medial breast tissue into coil, and if there is a side panel, to push that in so it is gently touching the breast to prevent motion
• Ensure axilla tissue is in the coil and not above the side panel
Common Indications: Diagnostic and screening
Position: Prone
Coil: Bilateral Breast Coil
Landmark: Mid-breast, Nipples
