1. Tradeoff is shown on the slider bar.
Basically the SNR is kept for all positions, but the spatial resolution is different.
2. Following scan parameters are propagated to the other position of the Slider Bar.
Scan plane, Start/End location, Auto shim, Tracker length/thickness, Patient entry/position,
Coil configuration, Series description, Contrast information
3. Slider Bar protocols are not allowed to save and duplicate.
Proto Copy will be helpful to make the protocol from images scanned with the Slider Bar
protocol. The protocol generated by Proto Copy includes just one scan parameter set of the
Slider Bar protocol.
4. Slider Bar function doesn't apply to all the protocols. Only the protocols in the above list
are OK to use. The protocols selected from the Ready Shortcuts are Ok to use too.
A easy way to check:
If there are short vertical lines showed on the Slider Bar, it means the protocol can use this
function.
