Fetal Cardiac with smart-sync

Northh Medical, Hamburg, Germany

Patient information

Pregnant patient, referred to MRI for fetal cardiac imaging. Smart-sync device is used to send a gating signal to the scanner, allowing for the synchronization of MR data acquisition with the fetal heartbeat, resulting in fetal cardiac MR images of diagnostic quality. Standard cardiac sequences can be used such that acquired images instantly appear on the screen, allowing for immediate evaluation of slice positioning and quality – an important feature that allows for adjustments should the fetus change position.
