These ghosting artifacts are residual fat signal, the root cause Reduction of ghosting artifacts results in improved image is the difference in the resonance frequencies between quality for SMS TSE. fat and water. With syngo MR XA51A the induced phase shift of the blip gradients in the SMS TSE sequence has been optimized, resulting in an effective reduction of fat-related ghosting artifacts. 2.9 Faster image reconstruction in Simultaneous Multi-Slice imaging Available for: MAGNETOM Sola, MAGNETOM Altea, MAGNETOM Sola Fit Category: Standard (with SMS license) Pre-requisites: SMS license Restrictions: None In rare cases, users running high resolution matrix sizes New benefits: in conjunction with SMS imaging ran into memory • issues with their MaRS. With syngo MR XA51A, data Reconstruction of highly resolved SMS imaging data processing has been optimized such that these memory should not lead to memory problems anymore • problems should no longer occur. As a side effect, SMS Faster image reconstruction due to optimized data reconstruction times can be reduced by up to a factor processing within ICE of two. 20 syngo MR XA platform – XA51A 2.10 Improvements for radial planning Available for: MAGNETOM Sola, MAGNETOM Altea, MAGNETOM Sola Fit Category: Standard Pre-requisites: None Restrictions: None “Radial Slices” allows a calculation of radial layers on the Routine Contrast Resolution Geometr System Physio Inline Sequence basis of the selected slice group with their perpendicular Coils Miscellaneous Adjustments Adjust Volume Tx/Rx axis rotated around the image.
