Introduction to Biograph - Part 5 You should now be able to: State the purpose of the TrueD Basic application List the steps in loading the images into the TrueD Describe the tools and options used to view and manipulate images Demonstrate how to control the Rotating MIP image List the steps in creating parallel or radial ranges Describe the steps to save, film, print, export, and close images Demonstrate how to zoom and realign the images into cardiac orientation Describe the purpose of the TrueD 4D cine feature By the end of this module you will be able to: State the purpose of the TrueD Basic application List the steps in loading the images into the TrueD Describe the tools and options used to view and manipulate images Demonstrate how to control the Rotating MIP image List the steps in creating parallel or radial ranges Describe the steps to save, film, print, export, and close images Demonstrate how to zoom and realign the images into cardiac orientation Describe the purpose of the TrueD 4D cine feature Uses: Viewing Manipulation 3D Visualization Data Types: Functional Data (PET or SPECT) Anatomical Data (CT or MR) Output Formats: MPR, MIP, & VRT Available on syngo MI Acquisition Workplace and optional syngo MI Workplace 1.  Select current patient and the current recon job. 2.  Select Auto-Tasking Subtask Card >> Auto Display >> TrueD. From the menu bar, select Applications >> TrueD.   From the Patient Browser, select the desired Study or Series. Process for aligning images from different series Aligns images from different modalities Reference series is fixed Anatomical image (CT and MR) Model series is transformed to align series Physiological image (PET and SPECT) Click the tabs below to view examples of how to use the Visual Alignment tool.   Interrogates pixels to capture dataset measurements   SUV or Becquerel/cc for PET or SPECT   Hounsfield units for CT   Fused images will show both displays Replication of cursor movements   White cursor = main cursor   Yellow cursors = replicated cursors   Available for use on non-fused layouts          1.  Click on the Image menu and select Create Ranges.  2.  The ranges will be automatically created and saved into the database. Click on the transaxial image segment. Click on the Type menu and select MIP. Click on the Image menu and select Create MIP Ranges. The tool bar below can be found at the bottom of the Control Area.  The functions include; saving, copying, printing, exporting, and closing images.   Use the Save Image button to save the current image to be opened later in the syngo Viewing task card. To save an image as a new series and automatically load it to the Viewing task card, complete the following steps: Select the image segment. Click the Save and Load to Viewing button. To copy images to the syngo Filming task card, complete the following steps: Display the images to be copied. Click the Copy to Film Sheet button. The images will be then be transferred to the Filming task card. Click the Print button to print the currently displayed images. This will launch a window with standard print options such as printer selection and number of copies. To export display areas or individual images, complete the following steps: Select the image(s) to export. Click the Export Image button. From the Export Image dialog box, enter the file name and specify the destination folder for the images. Click the Export button. Use the Close Patient button to close the current patient. 4D Cine allows you to view CT and PET gated images in motion. Click the Next button to view a video demonstration. Click the link below to view a short video of gated images in motion.

For transaxial ranges:  Click the coronal segment and create horizontal ranges. Use the left mouse button and click in the center of where the ranges will be created. Use the left mouse button again and click and drag on the top and bottom of the range limits to adjust the FOV. Click the Start button to create the ranges. Ranges for fused images will be labeled as ALPHA ranges. Images created for PET or CT ranges (e.g. MPR, MIP, etc.) will be labeled accordingly.   1.  Launch the TrueD application. 2.  Click on the Options menu and select Configuration. 3.  Double-click on the TrueD icon. 1.   2. 3. 4. 5.   From the Configuration window, click on the Documentation tab. Select the modality Type and Orientation of ranges. Check the Resample Functional to Anatomical checkbox if applicable. Specify the Slice distance between images. Click the Apply button then click the OK button to close the window.
