VB22 MI Applications Online Training - USA

Congratulations. You have completed the VB22 MI Applications online training. Listed below are the key points that have been presented. Take time to review the material before you proceed to the final quiz. VB22 - Enhancements Operating system update: syngo MI Apps VB22 has been updated from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  With the end of Microsoft´s support for Windows 7 you are susceptible to cybersecurity issues, risking harm to health care information. With syngo MI Apps VB22, being released on the Windows 10 operating system, you can ensure that there less vulnerability to security risks and viruses.   I131 in the xSPECT Quant portfolio: This feature allows you to easily standardize uptake values of I131 across different centers, cameras and dose calibrators to evaluate an absolute response to follow up.   Application enhancements: Gastric Processing: Gastric retention results includes percent retention for better alignment with Society of Nuclear and Medicine Imaging (SNMMI) guidelines.   Renal Processing:    T-fit Curve: The T-fit Curve in the renal activity has been updated to extrapolate the renal T 1/2 past the end point of the acquisition. If the value is extrapolated, it is noted with an asterisk.   ROI tool button: The magnify tool has been added to the tools to allow you to zoom the image. This will help with drawing the ROIs for the left and right kidney as well as the background ROIs.   MI Apps Patient Browser: The MI Apps Patient Browser will automatically refresh upon completion of a workflow.     Recycling Bin: If data is ever deleted by accident, the MI Patient Browser features a new Recycling Bin, which holds the deleted data.   To avoid deletion of patient data by accident during dynamic studies, additional notifications have been added to the Dynamic Acquisition activity in VB22.   If you changed parameters in the Static Acquisition activity, but forgot to click the Update View button before clicking on Prepare Acquisition, a new popup window will appear stating Acquisition parameters have been changed. This allows you save the parameter changes by clicking OK and then continuing with the acquisition.   Incorrect collimator pop-up: Collimator field has been added to Camera Parameters tab within the acquisition activities.This collimator field can be configured and saved in the workflow. If the collimator is incorrect, Upon prepare, a pop-up will notify the user. Control Room Scan Beep: In addition to the beep coming from the scanner to signal the end of a acquisition, a beep will also occur at the console. This is configurable (on/off) within Options > Local Service > Configuration > ScanEndBeep.   syngo MI Application features SPECT Dose Report:  SPECT Dose Reports are created for all acquisitions each time radiopharmaceutical information is entered in an activity. The dose report contains the following information: radioisotope radionuclide half-life injected dose injected date and time patient weight patient height effective dose adsorbed dose to organs CT features available for SPECT/CT systems FAST Planning: This feature helps you to plan the scan and reconstruction for an easier, faster, and more standardized workflow.   FAST Spine: FAST Spine facilitates accurate and anatomically aligned preparation of spine recons with just a single click.This feature is available for Symbia T6, T16, Intevo 6, 16, and Intevo Bold systems.  Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: Identify the VB22 application enhancements   ​Identify the syngo MI Application features   Create a SPECT Dose Report   Use the CT features available for SPECT/CT systems: FAST Planning and FAST Spine Welcome to the VB22 MI Applications online training. In this training you will learn about the new features and enhancements that are available with the VB22 software version for ​SPECT/CT and SPECT systems.  Please note: The new enhancements are structured according to different areas of interest. You can navigate directly to the required modality in the table of contents area. This chapter introduces you to the enhancements of the VB22 software version. VB22 is the first software version to be released on the Windows 10 operating system.    VB22 software release also includes new versions of: syngo – VI20C Somaris 5 3rd party software: Corridor 4DM – 2018 Cedars – 2017 Scenium – VE30A ​TrueD – VB20 To learn more about the software and application enhancements with VB22, click the tab below.   Learn more about the VB22 Application enhancements Learn more about the VB22 MI Application enhancements Tab TitleTextGastric Processing Renal Processing MIApps Enhancements: Workflow Enhancements  With VB22 there are two additional FAST (Fully Assisted Scanner Technologies) features available as options for use with diagnostic CT scans: FAST Planning: This feature helps you to plan the scan and reconstruction for an easier, faster, and more standardized workflow.   FAST Spine: This feature facilitates accurate and anatomically aligned preparation of spine recons with just a single click. It is available on the Symbia T2, T6, T16, Intevo 2, 6, 16, and Intevo Bold systems.

This allows you to easily standardize uptake values for I131 across different centers, cameras and dose calibrators to evaluate an absolute response to follow up.  xSPECT Quant I131 is the same as for the other isotopes: Technetium99m Iodine123 Indium111 Lutetium177  The only difference for calibrations is a Sn113 precision source when a High Energy collimator is used. With syngo MI Apps VB22, iodine131 is now available in the xSPECT Quant portfolio. This allows you to easily standardize uptake values for I131 across different centers, cameras and dose calibrators to evaluate an absolute response to follow up. The acquisition and processing for xSPECT Quant I131 is the same as for the other isotopes: Technecium99m, Iodine123, Indium111, and Lutetium177 except that the supported collimator is High Energy. The only difference for calibrations is a Sn113 precision source when a High Energy collimator is used.
