Direct Stopping Power Ratio configuration to syngo.via Rapid Results
This job aid shows the steps for creating a Direct Stopping Power Ratio calculation series as a Rapid Results in syngo.via, from a dual energy CT scan. The calculation is then sent to the radiation therapy treatment planning system for use.
Direct Stopping Power Ratio configuration to syngo.via Rapid Results job aid syngo.via VB40/VB60/VB80/VC10; SOMATOM Force, Drive, Definition Flash, Confidence, Definition AS Open, SOMATOM go., SOMATOM X., and NAEOTOM Alpha class CT scanners Note: This is not available in DE Workflow but only as Rapid Results. It is only selectable as a data role at Stopping Power Ratio (AA) in Scan Protocol Assistant (SPA) and Exam Designer for Dual Source, Twin Spiral, and Dual Spiral scanners before VB10. No Twin Beam Dual Energy can be used for Direct SPR. The Stopping Power Ratio result will be visible when exported to a treatment planning system (TPS), but it is not viewable in syngo.via.
