Preview Series

A Heart View preview series contains images at the

same slice position and of different phases of the car-

diac cycle (Phase Start). The phase interval and the

number of images can be configured in the HeartView

configuration. The slice position is determined by

selecting the appropriate image in the right segment.

The preview series is used to determine the Phase Start

for ED and ES.

• For an overview, reconstruct a series at an arbitrary

heart phase. A default value of 60% relative gating

can be used as an initial set-up for the overview

series.

• Select an appropriate slice position (e.g. middle part

of RCA) for the preview series in the 2

segment.

• Switch to the Trigger tabcard.

•Select Phase Start 0 % to reconstruct images in %

steps.
