How To Change Cupping Correction on Somaris 7 SOMATOM Definition AS, Edge, Edge Plus, Flash, SOMATOM Drive, Force Cupping correction is an algorithm applied in the background that changes the image impression at the brain bone interface in head modes. This filter is applied automatically to the data when reconstructed. To review the different settings, follow the instructions to make a change and then restart the system. Create a new recon for the desired head exam and the new cupping correction filter will be applied. This can be done as many times as needed to obtain the desired impression. Note: Cupping correction only modifies the impression at the brain bone interface. If the overall impression needs modification, changing the reconstruction algorithm (kernel) should be com- pleted first. If scan parameters or patient positioning is not ideal, cupping correction may be lim- ited in regards to improvement. This setting should only be changed after discussion with the physicist or radiologist who is responsible for Image Quality. 1. From the Options menu, select Service, and then Local Service.
