CARE Profile

CARE Profile Job Aid SOMATOM Definition Scanners CARE Profile allows for the visualization of the scan dose distribution as it applies to the planned scan range so it can be actively managed during the scan preparation and acquisition. CARE Profile displays alongside the topogram and gives a better understanding of the proposed real-time dose modulation. 10.10.02-14:33:03-DST-Specials H .....................

It is possible to load the scan; however, image quality in the region of the yellow peak may be suboptimal. If the parameters are not adjusted and the scan is loaded, the yellow peak is “cut off” and the maximum mAs value is applied to that region. Typically, minor adjustments to the scan time or pitch will resolve this type of conflict. 10.10.02-14:33:03-DST-Specials H Hospital 10.10.02-14:33-03-DST-1.3.1 SOMATOM Definition Flash "18 Nov 1858. 0. 151Y CT 2011A 1 01 POO .......... 512010 ......................................
