Copyright © Siemens Healthcare GmbH, 2018   The 4D viewing tool is optimized for temporal navigation of multi-phase data such as GRASP-VIBE. In addition, the tool enables the user to divide the total numbers of series in clinical relevant phases and to access the series quickly. The user can define and label the phases during scanning. The labelling of phases will be done automatically for GRASP-VIBE (via Add-in). Time points are displayed on the time axis for the phases with clinical relevance. The color of the time points corresponds to the color of the assigned respective phase during scan planning. If the current phase has a label, the label of that phase is shown above the selected time point in that phase. By clicking the time point of a clinically relevant phase you can navigate to the respective phase. In addition, you can choose to hide the lower part. You can configure whether or not this part is visible at the beginning or use the arrowhead between the upper and lower part to hide/show the lower part.   To restrict the reconstructed volume of 3D images to cut off unwanted structures that might hide more important structures, use the following tools: Clips Planes which allow the user to cut off the volume along a cutting plane   Clip Box which allows the user to cut off the volume outside of a rectangular selection (example for clinical use: removal of unwanted structures) Punch Tool allows the user to cut the volume along a freehand line and keep the inner or outer section for reconstruction (for freehand cutting)     Once a measurement e.g. a distance line is defined in one segment, the user can paste the measurement in the same segment on either a different slice or in the same segment of the same slice but at a different position. The details of the functionalities are: "Copy/Paste Measurement to same Segment": After copying any 2D measurement, scroll through the current segment to another frame. In this new frame it is possible to enter the “Context Menu” (by right-clicking the segment). Select “Paste on the current image”. The copied graphic will appear at the exact same position as it was copied from the current frame.   "Copy/Paste to the cursor position": After copying any 2D measurement move the mouse cursor to a new position within the segment. Enter the “Context Menu” (by right-clicking on the segment) and select “Paste to the cursor position”. The copied graphic will appear at the current mouse cursor position.   “Copy/Paste Measurement to another Segment”:  There are no changes in this functionality; only the name of the entry in the context menu has changed to “Paste to the same organ position” instead of “Paste Measurement”. Congratulations. You have completed the MAGNETOM Sola and MAGNETOM Vida MR View&GO Online Training course. Listed below are the key points that have been presented.

Therefore, MR View&GO includes several features to support daily workflows for automatic image visualization, viewing modes, image interactions, image manipulations, measurements, position display, mean curve, composings, 3D ranges, image calculations, printing and result distribution to other DICOM nodes.   MR View&GO - Overview MR View&GO can be opened in two ways: by registering a patient for scanning on the acquisition workplace or by having an active patient on the left monitor, a MR View&GO tab will be open automatically or manually by selecting a patient study and clicking the MR View&GO icon in the Patient Browser.   MR View&GO workflow steps (or Case navigator) MR View&GO has seven workflows steps: Viewing (which will be opened by default with MR View&GO tab), 3D (used for ranges creation etc.), MeanCurve (used for test bolus etc.), Calculation (used for substraction and ADC/b-value calculation etc.), Composer (used for combining and composing images), Print (used for filming) and Distribution (used for result distribution to DICOM nodes).   MR View&GO - Tools,  Series navigator and Patient Browser/Local data MR View&GO contains image post-processing and analysis tools to speed up the viewing, manipulation and post-processing of examination data. Tools can be found in the favorite tools, tools gallery, context menu and the corner menus. The series navigator provides an overview of the available data series for the loaded study and groups data according to specific imaging criteria. The patient browser/local data enables you to search and manage patient data, series, and instance information. The patient browser can be used to open workflows. Important functionalities of the patient browser/local data are user defined filters and workflows.   MR View&GO - New functionalities Save as new series eanbles users to save a series with user-specific settings. Mosaic view enables users to detect movements in dynamic series (e.g. BOLD). Each frame shows one phase. 4D movie tool bar (extended for GRASP-VIBE) which is optimized for temporal navigation of multi-phase data such as GRASP. The tool enables users to divide the total numbers of series in clinical relevant phases and to access the series quickly. Fusion with Visual Alignment - this functionality provides users with two methods of visual alignment: manual alignment and automatic registration for automatic alignment of two selected series. Copy+paste graphics provide three new functionalities: Copy/paste measurement to same segment: The copied graphic will appear at the exact same position as it was copied from on the current frame. Copy/paste to the cursor position: The copied graphic will appear at the current mouse cursor position. Copy/Paste measurement to another Segment: There are no changes in this functionality; only the name of the entry in the context menu has changed to "Paste to the same organ position" instead of "Paste Measurement".    MR View&GO - Application tips& tricks The tips&tricks application explained how to use tools for restricting 3D volumes. The tools are clip pane, clip box and punch tool. Depending on the clinical use case, select the appropriate tool to prepare the data set for further operations (e.g. ranges preset). In additon, you learned how to create parallel and radial range presets. With the help of interactive simulations you have been able to simulate steps for ranges and then in the following step you learned where to find available range presets and also how to create a range preset. Next to some special tools of MR View&GO you learned how to do a study move and what might be a possible scenario in the patient browser. Using the cut function the user can reassign the study to the correct patient if it was incorrectly assigned to a wrong patient by right clicking on the right patient study in the procedure list and then selecting paste.
