Notes 31 Turnover Workbook | Biograph Vision Saving the Protocols Notes Select Edit > Save Scan Protocol from the main menu whenever you want to save scan protocols during the examination. When saving protocols, only the following characters and numbers are valid in protocol names: • 0123456789_ • ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ • abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz Spaces are not permitted in protocol names. 2.4 Positioning the Patients for Exams Preparing the Patient Table 1. Lower the patient table until the patient can easily sit down on it or be placed on it. 2. Use any positioning accessories that might be necessary. This includes the use of a head holder (to be used only for the head of the patient), foot extender (to be used only for the feet of the patient), positioning mat, RTP pallet and towels, sheets, or immobilizing straps for securing the patient. Preparing the Patient 1. Remove (or have the patient remove) jewelry, glasses, prostheses, etc., from the body region to be examined. 2. Now position the patient on the table using the necessary accessories. Positioning the patient with the arms up for lung, thorax, and abdomen scans, when he/she can tolerate it, will reduce beam hardening and scatter artifacts in the CT, reduce the potential for CT field-of-view truncation artifacts, and improve the quality of the PET images. Setting the Table Height 1. Move the table to the appropriate height by using the vertical motion buttons on the gantry control panel. 2. You can achieve the optimum setting by using the lateral positioning laser marker (see below). Make sure that the laser is marking the center of the measuring field, including the patient and the table. * Moving the Patient Toward the Gantry 1. Using the table positioning buttons on the gantry control panel, move the table with the patient toward the gantry. 2. Before starting the examination, make sure that table movement toward the gantry opening is not obstructed and that the patient cannot be injured by a movement of the table or gantry. 32 Turnover Workbook | Biograph Vision Using the Positioning Laser Light Markers Notes The laser light markers are laser beams that emanate from three points in the gantry opening. These points are marked. The laser beams fan out so that you see lines as a mark or a cross at the intersection of the beams. 1. Switch on the light markers. 2. With the keys for horizontal table, adjust the longitudinal direction of the table such that the starting point for scanning is marked by the offset laser. 3. With the keys for vertical motion of the patient table, you can adjust the height of the patient table using the vertical laser so that the examination region is in the center of the scan field. 4. Switch the laser markers off again. From now on, the patient must lie still. 5. You can apply the predefined position keys to move the patient table into scanning position. 6. Check the patient position and make sure they are correctly entered in the protocol. Also, observe the patient to make sure they are in no danger of collision with the gantry. Monitoring the Patient As long as the table or scanning unit is moving during scanning, the patient must always be visible and the intercom system must be switched on to hear the patient. Stopping the System In critical situations, press an E-Stop push button to stop all system movements immediately and to shut down radiation. 33 Turnover Workbook | Biograph Vision 2.5 Table Motion Modes Notes Step and Shoot Mode With step-and-shoot bed motion mode, the bed is moved sequentially in equal distances determined by the PET axial field of view (FOV). After acquiring the topogram, beds are indicated visually in the PET Planning Window by rectangular boxes within the scan range. The axial position of the scan range is adjusted by dragging the circle in the center of the scan range up or down. The number of beds is typically defined by the protocol, but can be redefined after the topogram is acquired by dragging the scan range lines in the PET Planning window. When Match CT Range is selected on the Routine subtask card, syngo automatically snaps the line to the closest integer number of PET beds (consecutive full fields of view), and the CT field of view automatically snaps to full PET beds. The duration for each bed is defined on the Routine subtask card. In the following figure, seven equally spaced beds are shown: Patient, My Hospital 12345 Biograph64 *09-Dec-1970.

After acquiring the topogram, the scan range is indicated visually in the PET Planning window by a rectangular box. The axial position of the scan range is adjusted by dragging the circle in the center of the scan range up or down. The scan range is typically defined by the protocol, but can be redefined after acquiring the topogram by dragging the scan range reference lines in the PET Planning window. Up to four Ranges can be defined on the Routine subtask card, each with a different Distance, Duration, and Speed. When Match CT Range is selected on the Routine subtask card, syngo automatically adjusts the CT field of view to match the PET field of view. In the following figure, four Ranges are shown, each with a different Distance, Duration, and Speed.

With maximum patient clearance mode, the vertical table movement allows you to lower the patient table to the lowest limit possible: 298 mm. In this mode, you have extended vertical movement with limited horizontal movement. To Enable, perform the following Steps 1. Select the desired protocol from the Patient Model Dialog. 2. Select Move Out from the Table: Position drop-down menu on the Routine subtask card and follow the prompts to move the patient table away from the gantry. 3. Select the RTP PHS mode on button within the Topogram or CT Routine subtask card.
