3D CARD Examination Sequence

3D CARD Examination Sequence 3D CARD Examination Sequence Preparations:  3D CARD test phase -Check that the programmed rotational range is free of obstacles and hazards  Injection -if contrast medium is used  3D CARD fill phases 1, 2, -An image is acquired for every projection  Image data is sent to the syngo Workplace. The 3D image is reconstructed and displayed (2) (4) (6) (8) (5) (9) (7) (1) (1) Start position: (Optional: Brief fluoroscopy to check the examination region.) (2) Test run with rotating C-arm for ensuring that no collisions occur. (3) Injection if contrast medium is used and start of acquisition. (4) 3D acquisition run 1 with rotating C-arm for image acquisition with or without contrast medium. (5) Start of acquisition 3D run 2. (6) 3D acquisition run 2. (7) Start of 3D acquisition run 3. (8) 3D acquisition run 3. (9) End of acquisition. SIEMENS www.usa.siemens.com/healthcare 604 Effective Date: 09/06/2016 Page 1 of 1
