Imaging

<callout type=“info” icon=“true”> Identical locations must be used for each sequence if possible. Always used the “Copy image location” tool when setting up subsequent sequences </callout>

1. Localizer
   • 3 plane SSFP
   • Repeat in ref if needed to move heart to isocenter, then repeat in ref and delete all but final loc
2. Axial SSFP
   • include the entire aortic arch to diaphragm
3. Axial HASTE
   • Free breathing, include the entire aortic arch to diaphragm
4. Pseudo-SA
   • Perpindicular to long axis Loc
5. 4ch cine SSFP
   • 3PT at pseudo-SA RV free wall, LV free wall, apex from loc
   • Avoid the aortic valve
6. 2ch cine SSFP
   • 3PT at pseudo-SA LV anterior wall, LV inferior wall, from previous CINE
7. 3ch cine SSFP
   • 3PT at pseudo-SA aortic valve, pseudo-SA opposite point to AoV, apex from previous CINE
8. SA cine SSFP Stack
   • Perpindicular to 4 chamber. Stack at 10 mm intervals to cover the entire left ventricle
