Plotting:
Cover area of interest
Considerations:
- Set phase R-L and compensate for aliasing.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
Plotting:
Angle parallel to the radio-ulnar joint.
Considerations:
- Set phase H-F and compensate for aliasing.
- Open RectFOV above 100% to increase coverage.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
Plotting:
Angle perpendicular to the radio-ulnar joint. on the axial view.
Considerations:
- Set phase H-F and compensate for aliasing.
- Open RectFOV above 100% to increase coverage.
- Saturation band inferior and superior to our FOV can help reduce artifacts.
