Disclaimer myExam Companion VB20 Adult and Child Decision Trees Simulation Introduction Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2001.wav To better meet the specific needs of different patient types in radiology, the VB20 software version offers three different types of decision trees: Adult only, Child only, and Adult and Child decision trees. In this simulation, we will mainly focus on the Adult and Child Decision Trees. This will show you the most important settings that have to be considered for adult and child examinations. The workflow starts with the Home screen at our Acquisition Workplace. Select the Settings icon. Open the Exam Designer Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2002-01 To begin, we open the Exam Designer from the Settings menu. Select the Settings icon. Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2002-02 Then select Exam Designer. Please note: If the menu item is dimmed, you probably need to log in as a clinical administrator first. Please select Exam Designer to continue. Select Exam Designer to continue. Please select the Settings icon to continue. Select the myExam Cockpit workspace. Open myExam Cockpit Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2003.wav Next, open the myExam Cockpit workspace to enter the decision tree configurations. Please select the myExam Cockpit workspace to continue. Select the scroll bar. Available decision trees Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2004.wav On the Select Decision Trees tab, you can see the available factory decision trees. To see all of them, use the vertical scroll bar to scroll to the right. Please select the scroll bar to continue. Select the highlighted decision tree. Select the required decision trees Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2005.wav Next, we want to select the decision trees for our examination. To make them easy to tell apart, we have added new suffixes to the names: Adult, Child, and Adult/Child. Always make sure you choose the decision trees with the corresponding suffixes. For our example, we want to select one Child only Decision Tree and one Adult and Child Decision Tree. Select the Abdomen cooperative child Decision Tree first. Please select the highlighted decision tree to continue. Select the highlighted decision tree. Select the required decision trees 2 Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2006.wav The checkmark next to the Abdomen cooperative Child decision tree tells you that you have selected it. The Information area at the bottom shows you which protocols the decision trees are currently being used for. This information is important when you have to select a suitable examination protocol in myExam Compass later on. Now, select the highlighted Adult and Child Decision Tree. Please select the highlighted decision tree to continue. Select the Modify Decision Trees tab. Select the Modify Decision Trees tab Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2007.wav In the next step, we want to adapt the scan strategies according to our needs. Select the Modify Decision Trees tab to open the Scan Strategies window. Please select the Modify Decision Trees tab to continue. Select the arrow next to RoutineSpiralAdultSpine. About decision tree filters Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2008.wav Also new in VB20 are the Decision Tree Filters, which show you the possible patient types and scan modes the decision trees can be used for. You can only choose scan modes that include all the keywords shown in the Decision Tree Filters. Select the arrow next to RoutineSpiralAdultSpine. Please select the arrow next to RoutineSpiralAdultSpine to continue. Select the scan mode RoutineSequenceAdultSpine. About editing Adult and Child scan strategies Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2009.wav Please pay special attention when editing the scan strategies for Adult and Child decision trees. These are used for both adult and child examinations, so the scan strategies contain options for adult and for child scan modes. Always make sure you only select adult scan modes for adult scan strategies and child scan modes for child scan strategies. If you select the wrong scan mode, for example, an adult scan mode for a child scan strategy, you will get an error notification during the examination and will not be able to proceed with the scan. To select a new scan mode, select RoutineSequenceAdultSpine. Please select the arrow next to RoutineSequenceAdultSpine to continue. Select the Decision Tree tab. Select the Decision Tree tab Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2010.wav Next, we want to take a look at the Decision Tree tab. Please select the Decision Tree tab to continue. Select the arrow next to standard dose child. Modify the decision tree parameters Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2011.wav On the Decision Tree tab, you see the new attribute Patient Type. It is mandatory and preselected for Adult and Child decision trees. Also preselected by default is a set of standard questions, answers, and scan strategies for the corresponding examination types. You can adapt them according to your needs. You can also add new ones at any time. When editing the scan strategies for an Adult and Child decision tree, always make sure you select Adult as patient type for the adult option and Child for the child option. Otherwise, you will get an error notification during the examination and will not be able to proceed with the scan. Select the arrow next to standard dose child to open the drop-down menu. Please select the arrow next to standard dose child to continue. Select low dose child. Modify the decision tree parameters 2 Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2012.wav For our examination, we want to select low dose child. Please select low dose child to continue. Select the Scheduler icon. Open the Scheduler Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2013.wav After you have adapted the decision trees according to your needs, you can proceed with your examination. To do so, select the Scheduler icon. Please select the Scheduler icon to continue. Select Exam. Start an examination Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2014.wav Select the patient you want to examine from the Patients list. In our example, the required infant patient John Doe is already selected. Then select Exam. Please select Exam to continue. Select the body region spine. Select a body region Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2015.wav In the Protocol Selection tab, you can see that the Child protocols tab is already selected. The system has recognized that you started a child examination and has automatically activated the Child protocols tab. To see the available protocols, you first have to select the required body region. In our case, we want to examine John Doe’s spine. Select the body region spine in the illustration of a child’s body. Please select the body region spine to continue. Select the highlighted protocol with a double-click. Select a protocol Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2016.wav In the Physiological Signal area, the available child protocols for this body region appear. If you don’t remember which protocols the selected decision tree can be used for, you can always go back to myExam Cockpit and look it up in the Information area of the Select Decision Trees tab. For our example, please select the T or L-Spine protocol with a double-click. Please select the highlighted protocol with a double-click to continue. myExam Compass tab Adult_Child_Decision_Tree_Sim-2017.wav In the myExam Compass tab, you can now answer the questions of the connected decision tree and then move on to the topogram scan. Please note: The Patient Type is preselected according to your selected protocol. Do not change the Patient Type in myExam Compass. If you do, you will receive an error notification and will not be able to proceed with the examination. If you need to switch to the Adult Patient Type for some reason, switch to an Adult protocol. The Patient Type will be automatically changed accordingly. Congratulations! You have successfully completed the simulation.
