Pediatric Routine Pelvis (MSK Hips, Smaller Patients) 3T

Siemens Healthineers – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions: Position the patient in supine position with head pointing towards the magnet
Position the patient over the spine coil and place the body coil over the pelvis
Securely tighten the body coil using straps to prevent respiratory artifacts
Give a pillow under the patient’s head for extra comfort
Sedation vs bundle and feed is the ordering provider’s decision
Common Indications: Pain
Trauma
Position: Head First
Supine
Coil: Body Coil
Spine Coil
Landmark: Anterior Superior Iliac Spine
Patient Population: These protocols are intended for smaller patients and serve as starting points. If a smaller FOV is needed, the parameters are modified accordingly.
