Sinuses/Face 3.0T

GE Healthcare – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions And Patient Preparation

Instructions: Reformat Sagittal T1 CUBE and Coronal T1 CUBE in Axial and Coronal planes. If CUBE is not available run Axial and Coronal T1 weighted sequences with and without contrast (+/-Fat Sat)
Position: Supine, head first
Coil: 8 channel Head or NVPA
Landmark: Glabella or chin

Contrast Agent Parameters

Contrast Agent	Dose				Injection Rate
Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY)	0.05 mmol/kg up to a calculated volume of 10 mL				Hand Bolus usually
Saline Flush	10-20 mL				—
Comments	• Report agent administered and dose • Consider using ARDL for CUBE or Flex sequences if available
