Fluoro timer Purpose Monitor how long a patient is exposed to fluoroscopy Reset to zero when new patient is registered Acoustic warning signal The timer warns you if the time limit has been exceeded Time limit depends on country regulations Dose Report Contains the elapsed fluoroscopy time of an examination Fluoroscopy time is automatically recorded Select the images for more information! Fluoro timer 18_artis_ve4_olt_rad-protect_en_02.mp3 In order to ensure the safety of both patients and staff during an examination, it is crucial to monitor and control the duration of fluoroscopy exposure. That is what you use the fluoro timer in the Info Area for. The fluoro timer is automatically reset to zero when you register a new patient. It warns you with an acoustic signal if you’ve exceeded the fluoroscopy time limit. The time limit is configured according to your country regulations. The system automatically records the elapsed fluoroscopy time of an examination in the Dose Report as soon as the patient is completed. Fluoro Timer ? Key functions for reducing radiation exposure ALARA principle Keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable during an examination for the patients and staff For more information about these topics, select the arrows on the right. Use low-dose programs Collimate images Key functions for reducing radiation exposure 18_artis_ve4_olt_rad-protect_en_03.mp3 Monitoring the fluoroscopy time is just one aspect of maintaining safety during examinations. It's equally important to keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable during an examination for the patients and staff. This is also known as the ALARA principle. To support this goal, you can, for example, use low-dose programs, or collimate images. For more information about these topics, select the arrows on the right. Tab 3: Collimator control module video: HOOD05162003027752 [no changes and hence not part of this release] speaker text from video: Welcome to the ARTIS pheno Collimator control module (CCM) video. This video will introduce you to the functions of the collimator control module. The Collimator control module controls the placement of collimator blades and wedge filters. Collimation and filters can be applied to reduce patient dose and improve image quality. There are two types of semi-transparent filters: the wedge filter and the finger filter. The two joysticks at the top of the collimator control module can be used to apply the semi-transparent filters. Use the joysticks to apply wedge filters. Deflect the left joystick from left to right to move in the left wedge filter. Deflect the right joystick from right to left to move in the right wedge filter. To rotate the wedge filter, deflect the filter away from you or to the side. When you release X-ray, the wedge filters are applied. To reset all filters and collimation, press the Home key at the front of the collimator control module. To change the filter from the wedge filter to the finger filter, press the key in between the two joysticks. Collimate the image to reduce dose and improve image quality, using the center joystick for collimation. To collimate from side to side, deflect the joystick left to right. To collimate from top to bottom, deflect the joystick towards you. When you activate x-ray, the collimation is applied on the image. To reset the collimation, press the joystick down. CAREprofile Videoscript: 18_artis_ve4_vid_care-profile_en_qr7.docx speaker text from video: When you collimate images without CAREprofile, you need to release radiation to apply the collimation. With CAREprofile, whenever you move the collimator joysticks, the current positions of the collimator leaves and filter diaphragms are displayed with lines in the image. This way, you can change the collimation without performing fluoroscopy. Collimate images With the collimation control module, you can collimate images to reduce the radiation exposure for the patient. If you have CAREprofile, collimation is also possible without radiation on the last image hold (LIH). This video illustrates the collimation feature on an ARTIS pheno. The same collimation functions are applicable to the ARTIS icono systems. Use low-dose programs The system is equipped with several low-dose programs, such as low-dose acquisition, low-dose fluoroscopy, and low-dose syngo DynaCT. You can select them from the Program Selection menu in the control room, or from the Examination menu on the touchscreen. ? Avoid accidental radiation release Use block-X-ray from the control or examination room Blocks radiation for the next radiation releases Select the images to learn where you can activate this function from the exam or control room. Please note: This function will not interrupt radiation. Avoid accidental radiation release 18_artis_ve4_olt_rad-protect_en_04.mp3 In some situations, such as when repositioning a patient or while cleaning, you want to block radiation to avoid releasing radiation accidentally. For these situations, use the block X-ray function from the control or examination room. When this function is active, radiation will be blocked for the next radiation releases. Select the images to learn where you can activate this function from the exam or control room. Please note: This function won’t interrupt radiation. Let’s learn on the next slide how to stop radiation immediately in the event of an emergency. ? Use the emergency STOP button Radiation is only interrupted You can still release fluoroscopy and acquisition System movements are stopped and not possible Injections are stopped Use the emergency STOP button In the event of danger, press one of the red emergency stop buttons immediately. When you press one of the buttons, radiation is only interrupted, which means that fluoroscopy or acquisition are stopped. You can still release fluoroscopy and acquisition again without pulling the emergency stop button. Additionally, all system drives shut down and all movements stop. To move the system, you need to pull the emergency stop button. If the injector is controlled by the system, injections are also stopped. 18_artis_ve4_olt_rad-protect_en_05.mp3 ? Course review Congratulations. You have completed the radiation protection course for ARTIS icono and ARTIS pheno. Select the numbered buttons below to review the material before proceeding to the final assessment. Use the emergency stop button to stop radiation in the event of an emergency Block X-rays to avoid releasing radiation accidentally Key functions to reduce radiation exposure Know where the fluoro timer is and how it works 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 Course review Use the emergency stop button to stop radiation in the event of an emergency To interrupt radiation, push the emergency STOP button. This also stops all system movements. Pull the button so that the system moves normally. Please note: You can still release fluoroscopy and acquisition again without pulling the emergency stop button. Block X-rays to avoid releasing radiation accidentally Block X-rays on the Pilot control module or from the control room to avoid releasing radiation accidentally. Please note: This function does not interrupt ongoing radiation. Key functions to reduce radiation exposure Keep radiation exposure as low as reasonably achievable during an examination for the patients and staff. You can, for example, use low-dose programs, or collimate images. Know where the fluoro timer is and how it works Use the fluoro timer in the Info Area to monitor the elapsed fluoroscopy time. When you have exceeded the configured time limit, you will hear an acoustic warning signal. In the Dose Report, you can find the overall fluoroscopy time. The Dose Report is available when you close a patient. Disclaimer Please note that the learning material is for training purposes only.
