3D acquisition protocols for Artis zee/Q (VDxx)

This job aid will review 3D acquisition protocols for the ARTIS pheno system for VExx software.  

3D Acquisition protocols for Artis zee/Q (VDxx) job aid Angiography – ARTIS software VDxx An additional job aid is available on PEPconnect to determine the software version of the system. • The ability to perform a 3D/4D acquisition on your ARTIS systems depends on purchased licenses and system capabilities. • Start Positions will vary depending on the ARTIS system type. Automatic/Manual control for 3D acquisition The rotational examination sequence depends on the Dyna Control or 3D Control setting in the acquisition program: • If Auto is set in the acquisition program, then the movement of the C-arm starts automatically with the acquisition. 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 carry out the injection manually. • If Manual is set, you must manually start a movement of the C-arm (and start the acquisition) with the multifunctional button on the hand switch. The injection must also be carried out manually. - SIEMENS Unrestricted 0 Published by Siemens Healthineers AG © Siemens Healthineers AG, 2025 Master Template Effective Date: 3/5/2025 | HOOD05162003074494 Healthineers Job Aid Effective Date: 03/05/2025 | QR700019661 3D Acquisition protocols* – Interventional Radiology Acquisition protocol Used for Clinical application example Contrast-enhanced vessels: Aorta, 5sDR Body High contrast imaging Spinal AVM, High-density anatomy: Bones, Spine 5sDSA Body High contrast imaging Contrast-enhanced vessels: Aorta, Spinal AVM Pediatric Interventions 5sDR Body Care High contrast imaging Patient 3D/3D Registration Needle progress checking Liver embolization, PAE, endoleak 6sDCT Body Body soft tissue imaging after EVAR, Pulmonary Artery embolization Body soft tissue imaging, Liver embolization, PAE, endoleak 5sDCT Body Care Detect supporting vessels after EVAR, Pulmonary Artery with contrast embolization Manual Controlled 3D to Manual Controlled 3D to capture Modify based on capture different phrases of 6s DCT Body contrast medium filling different phases of contrast me- dium filling Body soft tissue imaging Liver embolization Manual Controlled 3D to capture different phrases of Manual Controlled 3D to capture Modify based on 5s DCT Body Care contrast medium filling different phases of contrast medium filling.
