Introduction to syngo® MI Apps (e.soft) - Part 2 - Acquisition Activities

Welcome to the Introduction to syngo® MI Apps tutorial. syngo® MI Apps is the workstation application used in Siemens SPECT and SPECT•CT scanners. This tutorial is designed for the new user of syngo MI Apps. This is the second module of this series, titled syngo® MI Apps Acquisition Activities. Topics that are covered in this module are: Overview of the Acquisition Workflow Description of the types of acquisition activities Task Cards for the Acquisition Activities and Sub Task Cards for each acquisition activity type. Select Next to continue   Describe the Acquisition Workflow and identify the different types of Acquisition Activities   Identify the task cards and sub task cards needed to perform Acquisition Activities Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to: You should now be able to: Describe the Acquisition Workflow and identify the different types of Acquisition Activities Identify the task cards and sub task cards needed to perform Acquisition Activities Overview of an Acquisition Workflow • Input is always a study • Each time you perform an acquisition, a new series is created in the database under the study Static Creates a series of images Acquire up to 20 Views Dynamic Sequentially acquired frames Up to 32 different phases can be acquired Each phase has its own time-based stop conditions Dynamic and Static can be acquired simultaneously R-wave Gate Dynamic Curves Gated Planar Set of frames representing different portion of the cardiac cycle. R-R Interval Beat Acceptance Windows ECG Trigger required Whole Body Acquire data is larger than the camera’s view Patient bed moves in and out of the gantry Anterior or Posterior views or both Tomo Computed estimated images Rotation of detectors around the patient’s body Multiple angles or views. Save as Statics Gated Cardiac Tomo Different portions of the cardiac cycle. Different angles or views Framing for time of occurrence within an R-R interval. Rotation of detectors around the patient Requires and ECG trigger Whole Body Tomo Computer estimated images Multiple Bed Positions Multiple Tomo Acquisitions Used in SPECT oncology imaging Patient bed advances to next tomo position Dynamic Tomo 1 phase = specified number of repeats, each containing a single cycle. 1 repeat = x cycles, same time per cycle 1 cycle = One detector rotation in either direction Each phase can have different time per cycle, cycles per repeat, and number of repeats per phase setting • Main Tab • Houses all the Sub-Task cards • Acquisition Display • Prepare, Start, Pause and Start Analyzer Task Card   Peaking Isotopes Viewing isotope energies Reviewing energy parameters Create and save new isotope presets Review images once they are acquired Time activity curve for dynamic series Series Information Series Name Operator Name Reading and Ordering Physician Name Isotope Pharmaceutical Injection Time and Dose Camera Parameters Matrix Size Zoom Factor 1 or 2 Detectors Apply Uniformity Correction Patient Orientation Sources for calibration acquisitions Stop Conditions Sub Task Cards Controls how long the acquisition proceeds Each acquisition has its own set of stop conditions Each acquisition activity has unique stop conditions Static Acquisition Each view has its own stop conditions and orientation Independent stop conditions per detector Time, Counts, Time or Counts, Manual, First View by Counts Dynamic Acquisition Reflects the amount of time each phase will acquire data. Gated Planar Acquisition Stop conditions for Time, Counts or Manually Gating conditions set on the Gate Sub-Tab Tomo Acquisition Time per View or First View by Counts Save images as Statics Gantry Rotation, Starting Angle, Degrees of Rotation Orbit, Mode of Acquisition Gated Tomo Acquisition Time per View Accepted Beats per View Whole Body Tomo Acquisition Similar to the tomo acquisition Parameter for number of tomos to be completed Direction of the scan Zipping of multiple tomos can done in tomo reconstruction processing activity Dynamic Tomo Acquisition Hybrid of tomo and dynamic stop conditions Tomo Stop time Starting angle Degrees of rotation Number of views Detector configuration Orbit Mode 1 Cycle = One gantry rotation 1 Repeat = X number of cycles 1 Phase = X number of repeats Gate Framing Beat Window PVC handling Beat Histogram Static Acquire with Statics Stop conditions Camera parameters View names View control Acquisition Tabs: Acquisition Analyzer Display/Analysis Acquisition Task Cards   Summary Page Summary Sub Task card: Displays current values of all settings Changes automatically update Sub Tabs within each activity: Summary Series Information Camera Parameters Stop Conditions Gate Static Acquisition Sub Tabs
