Remove and insert the scatter radiation grid ARTIS icono floor, ARTIS icono ceiling, ARTIS pheno This document explains how to remove and insert the scatter radiation grid. Removing the scatter radiation grid reduces radiation dose and affects image quality. Acquisition without the grid can be appropriate, for example, for pediatric examinations. 1. Make sure that the system is in an anteroposterior (AP) position to prevent the grid from falling down. 2. A button is located on the side of the flat detector (FD) housing. Press the button. The grid slides out of its holder. - - VI -(1) (3) -(2) (1) Grid slot (2) Grid (3) Button for grid release Unrestricted | Published by Siemens Healthineers AG © Siemens Healthineers AG, 2024 SIEMENS Master Template Effective Date: 21 Apr 2023 | HILS 2224 Job Aid Effective Date: 15 May 2024 | QR700008445 Healthineers Job Aid | Remove and insert the scatter radiation grid Effective Date: 15 May 2024 | QR700008445 3.

You can use the alternative grid for cardiac and body examinations using the small FD. The alternative grid can potentially enhance image quality more than standard grids, without requiring any changes to the SID. Please note: Do not use the alternative grid for 3D acquisitions.
