Generic Abdomen Pelvis 3T

Siemens Healthineers – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions And Patient Preparation

Instructions: • Injector timing for abdomen first, then finish pelvis sequences
• Perform relevant abdomen breath hold (BH) followed by pelvis in 2 stations
Common Indications: Abdominal/pelvic pain, infection, malignancy
Position: Supine, head or feet first
Coil: Body Array (2 coils, if possible), Spine Array (posterior)
Landmark: Xyphoid

Contrast Agent Parameters

Contrast Agent	Dose		Injection Rate		Dose Timing Method and Scan Delay
Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY)	0.05 mmol/kg		2 mL/sec		Use CareBolus (CB) to track contrast to diaphragm; stop CB; perform BH command (~4 sec); start Arterial-phase acquisition
Saline Flush	20 mL		2 mL/sec		―
Comments	• Report agent administered and dose • Use minimal dose for patients with a GFR <30 mL/sec
