Instructions And Patient Preparation<\/h3>\n
\n
Instructions<\/dt>\n
Coil coverage from toes to diaphragm<\/dd>\n
Common Indication<\/dt>\n
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)<\/dd>\n
Position<\/dt>\n
Toes should be inside bottom edge of coil<\/dd>\n
Coil<\/dt>\n
GEMS Peripheral Vascular (PV) Coil with Anterior Array and Posterior Array<\/dd>\n
Landmark<\/dt>\n
Landmark where you center the Body Array Coil<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/section>\n

Contrast Agent Parameters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Contrast Agents<\/th>\nDose<\/th>\nInjection Rate<\/th>\nDose Timing Method and Scan Delay<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Gadopiclenol (VUEWAY)<\/td>\n0.075 mmol\/kg up to a calculated volume of 10 mL
OK to cap at 20 mL max volume
Dilute to 30 mL<\/td>\n		See specific instructions below for Calf and Thigh stations<\/td>\nFor Abdomen Station: Fluoro trigger to peak arterial opacification at level of bifurcation 2 mL\/sec<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Saline Flush<\/td>\n60 mL<\/td>\nSee below<\/td>\n2 mL\/sec immediately following gadolinium<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Dynamic Notes<\/td>\nTRICKS timing:
1. Start scan
2. Mask runs as clock counts down
3. Inject at 0:00
4. Clock will reset
5. Scan will continue to acquire multiple phases<\/td>\n		Calf TRICKS contrast:
1.5 mL\/sec = 8-10 mL
Thigh TRICKS contrast:
1.5 mL\/sec = 10-12 mL
Flush: 1.5 mL\/sec = 20 mL
Flush: 1.5 mL\/sec = 20 mL<\/td>\n		Foot-mid Calf: I200-S82, 30 x 22
