You have completed the postprocessing simulation: Perform measurements ? Completion Measure Distances Click on the Segment Menu. Click on the Segment Menu [artis_ve30_common__postprocessing_tools_simulation_9.mp3] In the Segment Menu, you can perform measurements. Please click on the Segment Menu. Please click on the Segment Menu to continue. Move on using the NEXT button to continue with the training. Measurements tab [artis_ve30_common__postprocessing_tools_simulation_10.mp3] Under the measurement tab, you will find tools to measure angles… …and distances, hide measurements, and three methods of calibration. To learn more about the calibration methods, please click next to move on to the next slide. ? Isocenter calibration If the organ of interest was placed in the isocenter (the center of rotation) during the acquisition, the system can perform an automatic isocenter calibration. To recalibrate an image, you can manually start the automatic isocenter calibration. Select the tab arrows for more information. Automatic Isocenter Calibration Manual Isocenter Calibration Isocenter calibration [artis_ve30_common__postprocessing_tools_simulation_11.mp3] If the organ of interest was placed in the isocenter (the center of rotation) during the acquisition, the system can perform an automatic isocenter calibration. To recalibrate an image, you can manually start the automatic isocenter calibration. Select the tab arrows for more information Manual isocenter calibration To re-calibrate an image, you can manually start the automatic isocenter calibration. To do that, select the Auto ISO Cal icon in the Measurement tab of the Segment Menu. ​​ Please note: This method of calibration should only be used if you are certain that the organ of interest was in the isocenter during the acquisition. Otherwise there can be significant measuring uncertainties. Automatic isocenter calibration Isocenter calibration is automatically preselected by the system for image angles 50° to 130°. The system is ready for calibration as soon as you click on the image. A message is displayed in the workflow header. Confirm with Accept. The automatic calibration is then performed immediately and displayed. ? TOD calibration If the organ of interest is at a defined distance from the tabletop, you can use the table-object distance (TOD) calibration. The system calculates the calibration factor based on the image geometry. To recalibrate the image, you can manually start the Automatic TOD Calibration. For more information, select the tab arrows. Automatic Preselection of TOD Calibration Start the TOD Calibration Manually TOD calibration [artis_ve30_common__postprocessing_tools_simulation_12.mp3] If the organ of interest is at a defined distance from the tabletop, you can use the table-object distance (TOD) calibration. The system calculates the calibration factor based on the image geometry. To recalibrate the image, you can manually start the Automatic TOD Calibration. For more information, select the tab arrows. Start the TOD calibration manually To re-calibrate the image, you can manually start the automatic TOD calibration. To do that, select the Auto TOD Cal icon in the Measurement tab of the Segment Menu. Automatic TOD calibration TOD calibration is automatically pre-selected for images with angles 0° – 50° and 130° – 180°. For images with angles 0° – 15° and 130° – 165°, enter the TOD and confirm with Accept. For images with angles 15° – 50° and 130° – 165°, you are prompted by the system to first click on the Region of interest (ROI) in the image. Then, enter the TOD and confirm with Accept. ? Manual distance calibration If there is an object on the image with a known distance, you can use the object to calibrate the image. The calibration object should be… Located in the same plane as the object to be measured. Larger than the object to be measured. Calibrate over a distance of at least 3 cm. Check that the contrast between the calibrating object and the background is good. 1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 Manual distance calibration [artis_ve30_common__postprocessing_tools_simulation_13.mp3] If there is an object on the image with a known distance, you can use the object to calibrate the image. The calibration object should be located in the same plane as the object to be measured, and it should be larger than the object to be measured. For distance measurements, it is advisable to calibrate over a distance of at least 3 centimeters. Check that the contrast between the calibrating object and the back ground is good. When the contrast is too low, the pixel size will be inaccurate. To learn how to calibrate the distance manually, select the steps below. Enter the length Enter in the length of the distance (in mm) and confirm with Accept. 3 Select the starting point Click on the image to select the starting point and drag the line to the end point. 2 Select Distance Calibration Select the Distance Calibration icon in the Measurement tab of the Segment Menu. 1 Select the Measure Distance icon.
