TRICKS (Time Resolved Imaging of Contrast KineticS), a revolutionary, GE-exclusive Signa HD imaging technique, addresses the trade-off between spatial and temporal resolution that's typical of conventional MR angiography.

Angiographic Imaging Challenges:
Over half of diabetic patients have inadequate characterization of lower-leg vasculature.
Many vascular studies are sub-optimal because of miscalculation of the contrast bolus arrival.
Many arterio-venous malformations (AVMs) are difficult to characterize with conventional angiography.
With TRICKS you can:
Simplify difficult MRA of the lower extremities.
Achieve high-resolution detail even in small extremity
Reduces inaccurate bolus timing - simplify scans with complete separation of arterial and venous phases.
Obtain dynamic information as well as the static arterial phase.
Compensate for differences in a patient's flow dynamics to capture the complete flow pattern - including high-resolution peak arterial phase
