Rotating Column X-ray Tube Assembly with Collimator Flat Detector (FD) Pilot Control Module (PCM) Stand Arm Stand Link Arm C-arm Stand with C-arm artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_stand-w-carm.mp3 The ARTIS pheno system stand consists of the C-arm, detector, X-ray tube and collimator. The stand and C-arm can be moved via the joystick or via pre-programmed system positions using the touchscreen of the Pilot control module. In the following, we will talk about the input fields of the detector, the membrane keys and the scatter grid in more detail. Input Fields of the Detector Table with 3 columns and 11 rows Zoom Stage Input Field (Diagonal) Large FD as40HDR zen40HDR Nominal format/Zoom 0 49 cm 50 cm Zoom 1 40 cm 40 cm Zoom 2 32 cm 32 cm Zoom 3 25 cm 25 cm Zoom 4 20 cm 20 cm Zoom 5 16 cm 16 cm Zoom 6 13 cm 13 cm Zoom 7 10 cm 10 cm ? Input Fields of the Detector artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_input-fields.mp3 Depending on the flat detector installed, different image formats and zoom stages are available. The input field is the diagonal measurement of the field. Detector Housing Membrane Keys For more information, select the orange markers. FD Lifting and Lowering Setting the source-image distance (SID) FD Rotation (Setting Portrait/Landscape) Longitudinal C-arm Movement C-arm Rotation Cranial/caudal angulations C-arm Orbital Movement RAO/LAO angulations Laser Positioner Light On/Off The laser positioner is an option. ? Detector Housing Membrane Keys artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_membranekeys.mp3 You can use the membrane keys on the flat detector to activate certain system and FD movements. For more information, select the orange markers. Scatter Grid The scatter grid is intended to filter scatter, that is created by the patient and other objects, out of the image to improve image quality. As in pediatrics, the dose awareness is high and the scatter created by small patients is low, the grid can be removed. To ensure optimal image quality, the grid should remain inserted for all other cases. For more information about removing the grid, select the numbers below. ? 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 5 Scatter Grid artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_scattered-radiation-grid.mp3 The scatter grid is intended to filter scatter, that is created by the patient and other objects, out of the image to improve image quality. As in pediatrics, the dose awareness is high and the scatter created by small patients is low, the grid can be removed. To ensure optimal image quality, the grid should remain inserted for all other cases. For more information about removing the grid, select the numbers below. Mechanical Lock Pay attention to correct locking: An audible engagement sound should be heard. 5 Insert the Grid from the Back When inserting the grid, pay attention to correct orientation. The arrows on the grid must point toward the detector and the label on the grid must point toward the patient. 4 Pull the Grid Out Pull the grid out to the rear. Once the grid is removed, place the grid in a safe place. 3 Press the Button Press the button on the front of the FD, the grid slides out of its holder. 2 Move the C-arm to the AP Position To minimize the risk of the grid falling, the C-arm should be in the anterior-posterior (AP) position when removing or inserting the grid. Please note: Handle the grid with special care. If the grid is dropped or not handled properly, the grid could be damaged. Grid damage cannot always be seen externally. 1 Patient Table Patient Table ? Before positioning the patient on the table, pay attention to the weight limit. You will find a sticker indicating the weight limit on your table. In the following, we will explain how to move the patient table. at Table Control Module (TCM) Patient Table Patient Table artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_patient-table.mp3 Your ARTIS pheno system is installed with a patient table and a tabletop specifically tailored for your examination needs. Before positioning the patient on the table, pay attention to the table weight limit. It is important that you consider not only the patient weight, but also the weight of the accessories on the rails and the weight needed in the event that cardio pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is required. You will find a sticker indicating the weight limit on your table. With the table control module (TCM), you operate the table. In the following, we will explain how to move the patient table. ? Rotate the Patient Table You can rotate the patient table by using the hand grip, the foot pedal or the Pilot control module. Please note: The functions for the table control module and the hand grip can only be used on an ARTIS multi-tilt table. Select the tab arrows for more information. Table Control Module (TCM) Hand Grip Foot Pedal Rotate the Patient Table Table Control Module (TCM) This function can only be used for the ARTIS multi-tilt table. Do the following on the table control module (TCM): Press the table unlocking key. When the function is active the LED will appear blue. Rotate the table while pressing on the knob on the TCM. To lock the tabletop, press on the table unlocking key again. Foot Pedal Press on the pedal to release the table. Rotate the table. With the pedal pressed the table will not lock into position. Release the pedal and the table will lock when in an increment. When the table is engaged in a lock an audible click will be heard. Please note: In the case of a power outage, the pedal is the only method to rotate the table. Hand Grip Only for the ARTIS multi-tilt table: Push the button under the grip to release the table. Rotate the table. ? This video demonstrates how to move the table using the panning knob on your ARTIS pheno. Select play to start the video.

Programmed Positions System Positions System positions move the system into a predefined position for a clinical procedure. Due to the flexible isocenter, the C-arm will automatically follow the tilt and cradle of the table. Anatomical Positions Anatomical Positions move the system to create the same image view, for example LAO/RAO cranial/caudal views. When Define as ROI has been set, the table position is also considered. Direct Positions Your most frequently used positions can be stored as Direct Positions. Swipe from right to left on the touchscreen or press the keys on the Pilot control module. Programmed Positions artis_pheno_ve21_sysovw_en_programmed-positions.mp3 You can move the system to pre-programmed system positions by accessing the C-arm position menu from the touchscreen. There are different types of programmed positions. System positions are the basic positions, for example, right side, head side, patient transfer and parking positions. Anatomical Positions are customized positions to demonstrate a particular image view, for example, LAO/RAO, cranial/caudal views. You can store your most frequently used positions as Direct Positions. Depending on the type of the position, it is possible to have some, or all of the following system geometry stored in the position: Stand and C-arm position, table height and tilt, SID, zoom stage, collimation and filter positions. ?
