The Halo assembly is a feature that is mounted on the Gantry front and allows the operator to keep better watch on the patient from the control room. 2. The Laser Light Markers are three laser beams that emanate from the Gantry front and assist with patient positioning.   3. There are four (4) connectors located at the bottom right of the Gantry for various connections depending on the scanner's system configuration. 4. The Connector Box is located on the right side of the Gantry and is a key locked box that houses service options. There are two USB ports, the scanner's only on/off power button, and an SD card interface. 5. The main interaction device in the examination room is the Remote Scan Control (RSC). 6. You can attach the Tablet to the Gantry via the cradle. The tablet is charged when it is attached to the Gantry and the system is powered on. Compare the wireless and wired RSC to identify the two (2) different functions between the controls The wired RSC has the same function keys as the wireless RSC, except for the Out of Range indicator and the Low Battery indicator. The wireless RSC is limited to a certain operating range. The Out of Range indicator blinks when you are at the limit of the operating range, and it turns to red when you are out of the operating range. The connection is then turned off. Evaluate the function of the tablet A tablet is offered* and allows the operator to perform workflows in the exam room, such as a head exam consisting of the topogram and one scan range. The tablet is synchronized with the syngo Acquisition Workplace and data is communicated wirelessly. (*Excluding countries where regulatory approval is not available) Determine the operating state of the system based on the indicator on the control box When the scanner is idle, the start key for the control box is green. When the scanner is in use, the start key is yellow indicating that the scanner is radiating. Differentiate the manual buttons of the RSC and Control Box The majority of the manual buttons on the RSC (wireless and wired) also appear on the Control Box with a few exceptions: Control Box Only: Volume keys Hear Patient Key Call Patient Key Stop key Wireless RSC Only: Low Battery Indicator Out of Range Indicator The SOMATOM go. platform is a scanner family that consists of the SOMATOM go.Now and SOMATOM go.Up.  These scanners offer low-dose technology with the option of mobile operation and workflow automation.  The remainder of this online training will review only the features that are present in both scanners.   SOMATOM go.

Gantry Front Components Learn about the Gantry Front. Tab TitleTextGantry Front  There are six (6) major components of the gantry front including the tablet, remote scan control, Halo assembly, connectors, laser light markers, and the connector box. The tablet and remote scan control will be discussed in more detail later on in the training.  Halo Assembly The Halo assembly is a feature that is mounted on the Gantry front and allows the operator to keep better watch on the patient from the control room. 1. X-ray indicator lights - there is one indicator light on either side of the Halo assembly 2. Stop key - this should only be used in case of emergencies 3. Digital Visual countdown -provides a visual cue for the patient to assist him or her with the breathing instructions 4. 2D camera - helps you observe the patient while moving the patient table during the examination 5. Mood lighting - different color and pattern options are available and can only be controlled with the application available on the tablet   X-ray indicator lights No illumination No radiation Illumination in yellow Radiation If the system does not have the Halo feature, there will be a cover plate with a Stop key and X-ray indicator.   1. Stop key - this should only be used in case of emergencies 2. X-ray indicator lights - there is one indicator light on either side of the Halo Laser Light Markers The light markers are laser beams that emanate from three points in the gantry opening. These points indicate the scan center and form a cross when the beams intersect. They are used to help correctly position the patient. Please take caution that you or the patient do not look directly into the laser beam.   To turn the light marker on, press the Light Marker key on the Control Box or the Remote Scan Control. After approximately one minute, the laser light marker is switched off automatically. If you want to switch off the light marker immediately, press the Light Marker key again.   Connectors  There are four (4) connectors located at the bottom right of the Gantry for various connections depending on the scanner's system configuration 1. Remote Scan Control connector 2. Respiratory gating system connector 3. Opening for miscellaneous cables 4. Table Foot Switch connector Connector Box  The Connector Box is located on the right side of the Gantry and is a key locked box that houses service options. 1. USB ports for USB 2.0 or higher 2. On/Off power button for the system 3. SD (Secure Digital) card interface for service purposes only Table Foot Switch Learn about the Table Foot Switch.   You can move the patient table by using the optional Table Foot Switch as an alternative to using the keys on the Remote Scan Control or the Control Box. The Table Foot Switch is located between the gantry and the patient table, and is it connected to the table through a cable. The Table Foot Switch has two Load pedals and two Unload pedals. The pedals are located on both sides of the switch. Gantry Back Learn about the Gantry Back.   The back of the Gantry features: 1. X-ray indicator light 2. Speaker/microphone for the operator to listen to patient   The patient table top consists of material which is waterproof.

It provides the receptacle for the electrocardiogram (ECG) electrodes and a push button for changing the ECG channel. The PMM evaluates the ECG signal to detect the R-peaks.  CalloutsPhysiological Measurement Module (PMM)The physiological measurement module is an optional device.

The Tablet is synchronized with the syngo Acquisition Workplace and data is communicated wirelessly. Tablet Features Learn about the intended use of the Tablet. Tab TitleTextTablet Storage The Tablet can be attached to the Gantry and charged in the cradle when the scanner is powered on. The image on the right shows the Tablet cradle highlighted.    The system can only be connected to one Tablet. If a facility has multiple systems and Tablets, the remote scan control and Tablet of each respective system should be labeled with matching identifiers.Specifications Tablet Specifications: System: Windows 10 Pro 64 Display: 12" Full HD Touch Screen (Resolution: 1920x1280) Dimensions: 11.8 x 8.4 x 0.3 in (30 x 21.4 x 0.8 cm) Weight: 1.85 lbs (840 g)  Application The Tablet can control the exam and scan workflow from the inside and outside of the scan room. With Scan&GO technology, you just need a few steps for the entire scan. Start checking patient information as soon as you collect them from the waiting room, and then prepare the scan directly at the gantry to stay with the patient longer. Since the images are sent wirelessly from the scanner to the tablet, operators can return to the patient after the scan and stay there while previewing the images and communicating with radiologists for instant feedback, if required.   Disclaimer: Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only!
