Introduction
Welcome to the high-performance software
syngo MR used to operate MAGNETOM MR
systems manufactured by Siemens.
This syngo MR Quick Guide is intended to
help you with your examination routine providing you quickly with information about the
most important functions of syngo MR. This
Quick Guide is only valid in conjunction with
the system manual and the safety information
contained therein.
The right pages contain step-by-step instructions on how to use the basic functions of
syngo MR. The left pages contain supplemental figures and notes.
This guide describes quick and easy operations using buttons and pop-up menus. Of
course, most actions can also be selected
from the main menu.
The Quick Guide provides information about
the following:

Positioning sagittal slices
After a localizer, the following protocol
t1_se_sag opens automatically. The sagittal
slices of this protocol are displayed in the reference images for positioning. In the sagittal
reference image, the projection corresponds
to the field of view (FoV).
You can adjust the position of the FoV in the
sagittal reference image:
Click the grab handle in the center of the
FoV and hold the mouse button down.
Move the FoV until the head is positioned
in its center.
Move and tilt the slices in the coronal or transverse reference image, if necessary.
When protocol t1_se_sag is running, the following protocol pd+t2_tse_tra opens automatically. The transverse slices of this protocol are displayed in the reference images.
25
Examination
