This means that not all gradients and all sequences might respond equally to the changes in the gradient limits that can be made in Manual mode. 5 Effective Date: 15 Jan 2024| QR700004487 Unrestricted I Published by Siemens Healthineers AG I © Siemens Healthineers, 2024 Manual Gradient Mode SIEMENS Healthineers Image examples AR K A Ultraflex elbow Ultraflex elbow Sequence Name tseBN Bandwidth 407 - Hz/Px 2023.03.06-10:21:05-STD-1.3.12.2.1107.5.99.3 MAGNETOM Cima.X 2023.03.06-10:21:05-STD-1.3.12.2.1107.5.99.3 MAGNETOM Cima.X *1/1/1999, F, 24Y MR XA61 *1/1/1999, F, 24Y MR XA61 3/6/2023 FFS 3/6/2023 FFS Echo Spacing 8.92 +LPH +LPH ms pd_tse_tra_272 latest pd_blade_tra_256 latest STUDY ID c635e972-44ba-48 STUDY ID c635e972-44ba-48 10:25:43 AM 10:35:57 AM 5 IMA 1 FRM 9/20 10 IMA 1 FRM 8/15 RF Pulse Type Low SAR RP R 20 2D Turbo Factor SL 00 3.3 SPC F Gradient Mode Performance . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. ...
