Three lasers can be turned on by double clicking the hand control’s Laser button. There are lasers on each side of the gantry’s ring, and one directly above. Another set of lasers is activated automatically during a CT acquisition, and are projected through a plastic shield around the inside of the gantry’s ring. 2 1. Laser Openings (external) 2. Three additional lasers are behind the plastic shielding for CT 1.4 Nuclear Medicine Detectors The NM detectors can be rotated around the gantry, and rotated around their yokes at various angles. The detectors have an automatic infrared, body-contour feature that allows for automatic body contoured (noncircular) acquisitions. Additionally, look-ahead sensors view the patient’s contour prior to entering the field of view for whole body acquisitions. 1.4.1 Orientation Dots Orientation dots appear on each side of a detector (one white/unfilled and the other gray/filled). The gantry also has dots on each side. These dots work as reference points when moving the detectors using the hand control. Dots also appear on the hand control to indicate towards which dot (direction) a detector will move when a motion button is pressed. SIEMENS 1 . 1 1. Orientation Dot 12 Turnover Workbook | Symbia Intevo and Intevo Excel VB20 1.4.2 Touch Pads Notes There are four touch pads that halt all system motion when contact occurs. One touch pad covers each detector’s collimator. The other two touch pads cover three sides of the area behind each detector’s yoke. 2 1. Touch Pads on Detectors 2. A touch pad covers three sides of the detector’s yoke. 1.4.3 Infrared Body Contour System (Light Rails) The infrared body-contour system has the following features and functionality. • One pair of light rails per detector, between which an infrared beam passes, creating a light curtain across the surface of the detector. • Assists in adjusting the relative positions of the detector(s) and patient during precision movements. • Assists non-circular SPECT and autocontoured whole body studies. 13 Turnover Workbook | Symbia Intevo and Intevo Excel VB20 The look-ahead sensors have the following features and functionality: Notes • Light rails detect body contours for detector radius adjustments while the patient bed is traveling out of the gantry • Used to prevent possible collisions with Detector 1 • Located at each corner of Detector 1 nearest the gantry 4 3 2 3 1 4 2 1.

It is used to remove the bed index and pallet from the gantry’s ring in an emergency. 1. Pallet Handle 2. Bed Index Handle 2 1 1.6.7 Foot Pedal The patient bed is typically docked (securely positioned) in front of the gantry. It can be undocked and pivoted away from the gantry for acquisitions between the detectors or gurney imaging. The foot pedal is used to release and secure the patient bed at the end closest to the gantry. The right side of the foot pedal is pressed down to raise the docking pin from the floor socket and releases the patient bed for pivoting. The left side of the foot pedal is pressed down (leveling the foot pedal) to lower the docking pin. The patient bed pivots in only one direction which is determined at installation. The user pivots the patient bed by pressing the foot pedal’s right side and pushing the patient bed, thus avoiding any trip hazards that might occur if the patient bed were pulled. The patient bed always pivots to the side opposite the foot pedal. 1 2 3 1. Press the left side of the foot pedal to lower the docking pin into the floor socket. 2. Press the right side of the foot pedal to raise the docking pin from the floor socket. 3.

As the patient bed moves up and down, so does the rear bed. However, once the patient bed and rear bed reach a certain downward position, only the patient bed will continue its downward motion (unless the pallet is extended, in which case both rear bed and patient bed stop). 1.6.13 Integrated ECG This accessory is housed beneath the pallet handle with an ECG leads connection opening directly behind where the patient’s head lies. The ECG information is displayed and controlled using the PPM. 1 1. Integrated ECG Connection 20 Turnover Workbook | Symbia Intevo and Intevo Excel VB20 1.7 Hand Control Notes The hand control is used to manually communicate with the system. It can control gantry, patient bed, and detector movements, as well as initiate acquisitions and programmed positioning. To better understand the hand control and system motions, use the gantry icon, detector numbers (1 and 2), and the white O SIEMENS and gray orientation dots on the hand control as a reference for a motion’s direction. The detector number, appearing on the fronts of the detectors, and the white and gray orientation dots, appearing on the detectors and the gantry, help in identifying the relationship between system orientation and the hand control. 10 -11 13 73 14 15 16 17 18 1.

Changing the Collimators 2.1 Collimator Changing Options Notes There are 3 different types of collimator changing options that may come with your system, depending the types of collimators and options that you have purchased. 2.1.1 Integrated Collimator Changer (ICC) The Integrated Collimator Changer (ICC) is a collimator change server that is permanently mounted under the patient bed. The ICC holds two pairs of collimators and is intended to store most frequently used collimators. It does not store high energy, extra-high energy, or pinhole collimators. 3 2 W 12 1. Integrated Collimator Changer with Handles 2. Drawer opened. 3. Collimator clamp raised for collimator removal. 2.1.2 Automatic Collimator Changer (ACC) The automated collimator changer (ACC) is an option and requires the ICC. The ACC is attached to the ICC and automates the opening and closing of drawers when performing collimator changes. ACC supports the same collimators as the ICC. It is similar in design to the ICC for collimator changing, and uses the same PPM screens, but does not have the collimator drawer handles as with the ICC. 35 Turnover Workbook | Symbia Intevo and Intevo Excel VB20 2.1.3 Collimator Cart Notes The collimator cart provides storage and transportation, and enables installation and removal of collimators.

The calibration aligns the detector to the gantry’s center of rotation and to one another. You may only need to do the 180º configuration MHR/COR for the most used low energy collimator. You will need to compare the new values to last performed MHR/COR. If the recent calibration is <0.5 pixels (2 mm) in x-shift/ center of rotation and y-shift/axial shift and <0.1º in the back projection angle, then you can skip the MHR/COR for the remaining collimators and configurations. If the values fall outside of the acceptable range, you will need to perform the MHR/COR for all the collimators and configurations. 1. Prepare five 1-2 mCi Tc99m point sources. 2.

Adjusting Settings to Improve Image Quality Image is Possible Solution Too smooth Ensure Flash 3D is selected Decrease FWHM filter (guideline: roughly 2 pixel size). Check image quality with 0 mm. Increase iterations. Usually more than 6-8. Increase subsets. Check number of subsets, and change to next valid value. Check for any workflow connection changes Too noisy, or sharp Increase FWHM (in particular for TI201 rest studies) Decrease subsets Decrease iterations Check for motion, and correct if needed 114 Turnover Workbook | Symbia Intevo and Intevo Excel VB20 9.2.2 xSPECT Notes xSPECT is an optional feature that is available on the Symbia Intevo systems. There are two types of xSPECT features, xSPECT Bone and xSPECT Quant. This section will give an an overview of both. xSPECT Bone xSPECT integrates SPECT and CT data by using the high-precision CT as the frame of reference. This means xSPECT uses the CT coordinate system for reconstruction. This enables precise SPECT and CT registration in a 256x256 high-resolution matrix size. xSPECT Bone Tomo Acquisition SPECT Setup 1.
