BioMatrix Respiratory Sensors

The respiratory sensor is embedded in the local biomatrix body coil, the biomatrix contour coil or the biomatrix body 13. The sensor applies an electromagnetic signal. The signal varies with different motion phases of the lung. It is detected by the surrounding coil elements and reflects motion of the moving lung. The detected breathing pattern is visualized on the scanner displays. By eliminating the need for a respiratory belt or navigators, The respiratory sensor helps accelerate workflow. In this video, we use the respiratory sensor for an abdomen examination. Position the patient for the examination, connect the coil to the socket and ensure that the coil is positioned on the abdomen to obtain a good respiratory signal. Before performing an examination, ensure patient comfort, secure the coil and ensure all the safety precautions are taken. When the coil is connected and positioned correctly on the patient, the respiratory data will be displayed on the Select and Go displays in the Physio menu and will be visible also after the table is moved into Isicenter. To perform an examination using the Respiratory sensor, select the triggered respiratory protocols in the Siemens Tree. Protocols are available in the Abdomen Library. To use the Respiratory sensor, the protocols need to be set up as follows In the Physio under the Signal tab, the 1st signal mode is set to Respiratory Trigger. From the Signal tab you can also change the Acquisition Windows settings in the Physio. Under the Pace tab, the respiratory control is set to Off. This way the respiratory signal will be acquired from the coil and used for triggering during the examination. Please note no signal will be visible if no coil element is selected, for example if the coil is positioned but only the spine coil is selected for that specific examination. For respiratory triggering, you can choose either inspiration or expiration for the respiratory phase, and sequence triggering is done with no additional effort.
