Pediatric Abdomen Image of the Week

Sharp abdomen scan in motion-sensitive pediatric patient.

This week's featured scan, highlights exceptional soft tissue contrast and spatial resolution, achieved with a rapid 2D acquisition and optimized voxel size of 0.4 x 0.4 x 3.0 mm—supporting confident evaluation in motion-sensitive pediatric cases.

• B0: 3.0 T

• Scanner: MAGNETOM Vida

• Software: syngo MR XA20

• Receive Coil: Ink;Ink;S1-5

• Anatomy: ABDOMEN

• Age: 058M

• Voxel Size: 0.4 mm x 0.4 mm x 3.0 mm

• Matrix Size: 672 x 540 x 6 

• Slice Spacing: 3.0 mm

• Sequence: WIPtir2d1rr10

• Flip Angle: 110degrees

• Echo Time: 89.0 ms
