Job aid demonstrating the steps to change Field of View size on
the SOMATOM go.Sim and go.Open Pro system.
Changing Field of View size on the SOMATOM go. system SOMATOM go.Sim, go.Open Pro (VA40) Depending upon the scanner bore size, there are different default field of view (FoV) sizes. On the go.Sim and the go.Open Pro, the default FoV is 600mm with a maximum HD FoV of 850mm. Sometimes all the desired anatomy is not visualized in the default FoV. There are two workflow processes to adjust the FoV: 1) before the reconstruction or 2) adding a reconstruction if anatomy is not seen or to reduce the FoV in the previous reconstruction. Change the FoV before the reconstruction 1. You may determine after the topogram is acquired that the FoV is not appropriate. On the Reconstruction box, right-mouse click and select Show Parameters. change, Fov "5/30/1973, 50Y Recon Ranges 5/30/2023 2.26.38.22 PM 2 IMA 1 TOP 201 TP -1.262.0 Show Parameters Delete Repeat Copy All Recon Parameters Copy Recon Volume Parameters Paste All Recon Parameters Paste Recon Volume Parameters Create Image with Reference Lines Send to CT View&GO Edit Result in CT View&GO 2.

This can be found in either Inline Results or under the Inline Options tab. 5. The new FoV will then be displayed on the topogram. Complete the scanning process.
