3D acquisition protocols for ARTIS pheno (VExx)

3D Acquisition Protocols for ARTIS pheno (VEXX) job aid Angiography – Artis Software VEXX. **There is an additional job aid available on PEPconnect to determine SW version of the system. • The ability to perform a 3D/4D acquisition on your ARTIS systems is dependent on purchased licenses and system capabilities. • Start Positions will vary depending on ARTIS system type. Automatic/manual control for 3D acquisition The examination sequence depends on the 3D Control setting in the acquisition protocol: • If Auto is set in the acquisition protocol, then the movement of the C-arm starts auto- matically with the acquisition. I.e., the acquisition is started by pressing an exposure release button or pedal, and - the injection, mask, and fill phase occur automatically. If an injector is connected to the system and set to “Armed,” injection is also started - automatically (possibly with a delay). If no injector is connected to the system or if it is connected but not set to “Armed”, - you must perform the injection manually. • If Manual is set, you must manually start a movement of the C-arm (and start the ac- quisition) with the multifunctional button on the hand switch. The acquisition is started by pressing an exposure release button or pedal, and the injec- tion must be triggered manually. The bolus can be monitored during the injection. When sufficient contrast medium filling has been reached, the mask/fill phase must be started by pressing the multifunctional button on the hand switch. If the fill phase is not triggered manually, it starts after 30 s.
