Adult SCMR Recommended Protocols for syngo MR A11 with the Cardiac Dot Engine

To aid standardization of CMR, the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) released CMR exam protocol recommendations for the most frequent CMR procedures. Based on the Cardiac Dot Engine we have prepared clinically optimized exam protocols for the Siemens MAGNETOM family of MRI scanners, including 3T MAGNETOM Vida and 1.5T MAGNETOM Sola.
Please use the appropriate protocols optimized for your particular scanner type. For ease of use, the protocols are organized by common cardiac diseases and strategically sub-organized by the patient’s cooperative abilities. For example: Routine, Arrhythmia, Tachycardia, or Free breathing.

The following SCMR Recommended Cardiac Dot protocols are available:

  • Acute Infarct,
  • Aortic MRA
  • Arrhythmic RV
  • Chronic Ischemia
  • Coronary MRA
  • Dilated LV
  • Hypertension
  • Hypertrophic LV
  • Library
  • Myocarditis
  • Non-Compaction
  • Onco Drugs
  • Pericardium
  • Pulmonary Veins
  • Restrictive LV
  • Sarcoidosis
  • Siderotic
  • Transplant
  • Tumor - Thrombus
  • Valves

Congenital SCMR Recommended Protocols for syngo MR A11 with the Cardiac Dot Engine

To aid standardization of CMR, the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) released CMR exam protocol recommendations for the most frequent CMR procedures. Based on the Cardiac Dot Engine we have prepared clinically optimized exam protocols for the Siemens MAGNETOM family of MRI scanners, including 3T MAGNETOM Vida and 1.5T MAGNETOM Sola.
Please use the appropriate protocols optimized for your particular scanner type. For ease of use, the protocols are organized by age groups (infant, child, teen/adult), disease-specific indications and strategically sub-organized by the patient’s cooperative abilities (breath-hold or free breathing).

MR scanning has not been established as safe for imaging fetuses and infants less than two years of age. The responsible physician must evaluate the benefits of the MR examination compared to those of other imaging procedures.

SCMR Recommended Protocols for syngo MR B17

To aid standardization of CMR, the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) released CMR exam protocol recommendations for the most frequent CMR procedures, from MR imaging of myocardial infarct and cardiomyopathies, stress MRI, coronary MRA to valvular disease, congenital heart disease and more. In a collaborational effort of Siemens Medical Solutions and the SCMR we have prepared clinically optimized exam protocols for Siemens 1.5T and 3T MAGNETOM Tim systems in accordance to the SCMR recommendations.

Please use the appropriate protocols optimized for your particular scanner type, number of receiver channels and gradient performance. For ease of use, the protocols are organized by exam modules or common cardiac diseases and sub-organized by the patient's cooperative abilities.
