Completing Patient Positioning
1. After confirming patient positioning and beam alignment, adjust the temple
supports to fit snugly on both sides of the patient's head using the temple
support wheel. The temple support wheel is located at the front of the patient
support rest.
2. Click the Ready button on the GUI after the patient has been properly
positioned. No X-Ray will be emitted at this point. The rotating unit will then
move to position for imaging.
If, for the FOV size of 50 x 50 or 80 x 50, the SCOUT image is to be acquired,
click the SCOUT button.
In case of abnormal patient's arch, the chin support height
adjustment through the SCOUT feature enables the user to
acquire better image.
NOTE
For details about imaging in the SCOUT mode, refer to the
'section 5.3 Acquiring a Scout image'.
3. Proceed to section: 5.4 Initiating X-Ray Exposure. But if the SCOUT
feature is selected, move to the following section: 5.3 Acquiring a Scout
image, and then the section: 5.4 Initiating X-Ray Exposure.
Acquiring a SCOUT image
In general, the imaging trajectory is predefined along the normal arch shape. In
case of abnormal patient's arch, the chin support height adjustment through the
SCOUT feature enables the user to acquire better image.
The SCOUT feature is incorporated in the CT imaging mode
with the FOV 50 X 50 and 80 x 50.
The procedures for the SCOUT image acquisition are the
NOTE
same for both FOVs.
