myExam Implant Suite | Scanning of patients - USA

In this video, you will learn how to use my exam implant suite to scan patients with an implant. You will see how to define safety limits for the implant according to the implant manufacturer's specification. Before you start, make sure to read the safety information provided in this learning path. Start the registration as usual. On the Patient registration tab, enter the required patient and examination data for the field implant scanning. The default value is no Implant. Open the drop down list and choose the implant class. If the patients implant is specified as Mr. Safe, select Mr. Safe. In this case you can start the exam as usual. If the patients implant is specified as M are conditional select, M are conditional. After filling all mandatory fields, proceed by clicking exam. A dialogue box opens asking you for data on the Mr. conditional implant in the first step, RF limits. Three limit types are available, B1 plus RMS in microtesla, SAR for head and whole body in what? Per kilogram normal operating mode. To automatically set SAR limits according to IEC standard, select the RF limit type required by the implant manufacturer, then fill the related field according to the implant documentation. Please note that if you select SAR, you have to provide values for both head and whole body. Leaving one of the fields blank is not an option. If you select normal operating mode, you cannot edit the values. Also note that it is up to you to decide whether the information in the implant documentation is sufficient to provide RF limits. If you cannot make an assignment to one of these categories, please contact the implant manufacturer to clarify your question. If applicable, you may limit the default RF transmit mode from any polarization to circular polarization only after providing all mandatory information, proceed to the following tab by clicking next. In the general step, confirm that the patient's implant is suitable for the magnetic field strength of your system. In case the implant manufacturer indicates a time limit for Mr. scanning, you can specify a maximum examination duration. If you fill this field, a timer is activated as soon as you start the exam. Please note that scanning does not automatically stop after the time has expired. The system will inform you 3 minutes before the end of the planned examination duration. You can also add comments. These comments will be included in the DICOM examination report. After providing all mandatory information, proceed to the following tab by clicking Next in the confirmation step. Check the information that you provided. Read and validate the information displayed in the before scanning area. Confirm by selecting the checkbox. Proceed by clicking Exam. Then start the exam as usual. Even after the exam has started, you can still review the implant information and conditions entered. To do this, click the Mr. Conditional button on the lower left toolbar. The Implant Information window opens showing the conditions and limitations provided here. You can continuously monitor the current duration of the scan. Please note that the entered limits cannot be changed during the exam. In case the protocol selected causes conflicts with the scan limits for the implant, the system warns you the SAR limits exceeded dialogue box opens, giving you the chance to adjust the protocol. In order to automatically adjust protocol parameters, you can use the SAR assistant. In addition, SAR adaptive protocols are available. For more information on this, please refer to the job aid offered in this learning path.
