CAIPIRINHAHigh-resolution 3D imaging with reduced breath-hold times.

CAIPIRINHA
Liver imaging with CAIPIRINHA – in a 5 sec breath-hold

CAIPIRINHA (Controlled Aliasing in Parallel Imaging Results in Higher Acceleration) is a data acquisition technique that significantly reduces breath-holds without affecting image resolution, coverage, or contrast. It can be combined with 3D T1 VIBE (allows for SPAIR and spectral FS) or 3D Dixon (Four contrasts: in phase, opposed phase, fat, and water) in a single short breath-hold.

Features & Benefits

With CAIPIRINHA we offer an innovative technology to help you get the diagnostic information you need from patients with limited breath-holding capabilities without a compromise in image resolution, coverage, or contrast.

Features:

Dedicated sampling pattern to distribute k-space points more uniformly
Improved algorithm for reconstruction of datasets

Benefits:

Single digit breath-holds possible for 3D T1 exams
Higher SNR enables higher spatial resolution
Higher PAT factors enabled with excellent image quality
Reduced patient stress and increased patient compliance
