TRICKS XV - Angiographic Imaging

TRICKS XV - Angiographic Imaging - Signa HD 1.5T & Signa HD 3.0T

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.

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


With TRICKS XV you can:

  • Simplify difficult contrast-enhanced MRA of the lower extremities.
  • Achieve high-resolution detail into the critical vessels of the foot.
  • Eliminate inaccurate contrast bolus timing - simplify inject and scan 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 - in each leg in every case.


Compromise no more. Now TRICKS XV eliminates the traditional trade-off between special and temporal resolution in vascular MR imaging.

Signa. Be Certain.
