GE Healthcare – MR Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY®) Protocols

Instructions And Patient Preparation

Instructions: This is a high resolution protocol for specific areas of interest and application. Must know the region of interest to direct thin cuts
Position: Supine
Coil: High Density – 20 channel or greater
Landmark: Nasion

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 • Use minimal dose for patients with a GFR <60 mL/sec (Consider MPR 3 mm recons of all 3D sequences in non-acquired planes)
