Instructions And Patient Preparation<\/h3>\n
\n
Instructions<\/dt>\n
• Small FOV: Pelvic side wall to acetabulum; Oblique axis refers to the prostate
• For metal artifacts consider reduced FOV multishot DWI, changing readout direction
• Antiperistalsis: Immediately before motion sensitive pulse sequences 0.6-1 mg glucagon IV; or 25-30 min before motion sensitive pulse sequences glucagon 0.6-1 mg IM or anticholinergic medication such as 0.25 mg hyoscyamine sulfate sublingual or hyoscine butylbromide (Buscopan) 20 mg or higher dose IM (currently not available in the US)<\/dd>\n
Common Indications<\/dt>\n
Suspected or known prostate cancer<\/dd>\n
Position<\/dt>\n
Supine<\/dd>\n
Coil<\/dt>\n
32 channel Torso, GEMS Body array, or Air coil<\/dd>\n
Landmark<\/dt>\n
Iliac Crest<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/section>\n
