Fluoro-Triggered MR Angiography

Never miss a contrast bolus again. Fluoro-Triggered MRA gives the Radiologist or Technologist the ability to image the vascular anatomy of interest in real time and to see the arrival of the contrast bolus and almost instantly start the acquisition of a high resolution MRA exam. This powerful feature eliminates the need for test injections of contrast and works for all sizes of vessels. Rapid switching times allow the user to switch from monitor to scan mode in as little as 10ms to catch even the fastest flow. The system also supports a user defined "silent" delay period to allow the technologist to have the patient hold their breath for body angiographic applications. Fluoro Triggering is perfect for Elliptical Centric View ordering techniques where bolus timing is critical to optimize image quality.
