HeartView CT
ECGTrigCTA
Indications:
This is a sequential scanning protocol with an ECG
triggering technique for coronary CTA studies. It could
also be applied for aortic CTA studies, e. g. aortic
dissection.
Topogram:
AP, 512 mm.
From the aortic arch
until the apex of the
heart.
If you apply API for a single breathhold acquisition,
please make sure that the breathhold interval in the
Patient Model Dialog is longer than the total scan
time, e. g. 50 s, otherwise the image acquisition will be
interrupted by the default breathhold interval. This
does not apply when API is not activated.
For longer ranges, e. g. the entire thoracic aorta,
that can not be acquired within a single breathhold,
please ensure that the breathhold interval in the
Patient Model Dialog is set up correctly, according to
the patient’s level of cooperation.
