Course Content 1 Real 3D – Technical Basics Transversal SmartOrtho and True2scale Body Scan – Clinical Basics Real 3D – Clinical Basics True2Scale – Technical Basics Course Content ? Dr. Anna Rasche Scientific Marketing Manager Siemens Healthineers Forchheim, Germany Technology Behind Real 3D ? Technology Behind Real 3D Select the applicable image. ? Which image best illustrates Real 3D’s high-resolution scan mode for hand and elbow examinations? Question 1 of 2 Question High Resolution Incorrect That is the correct image: Correct Incorrect That is the correct image: Explanation of the Correct Answer Continue The high-resolution scan mode has a spatial resolution of up to 32 lp/cm, a modified trajectory with region of interest closer to the Detector, an 1x1 un-binned detector readout, and a reconstructed cylinder volume with a diameter and height of 16 cm. It is used to examine the small joints at the upper extremity. ? Explanation of the Correct Answer Select the best answer. ? Question 2 of 2 Which statement with regards to dose comparison between MTR Real 3D and MDCT is true? To compare the applied radiation dose between Real 3D and a MDCT scanner, the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol,16cm) of both systems should be used. One cannot compare dose values of Multitom Rax Real 3D with those of a Multi-Detector CT. The Dose Ara Product (DAP) of Multitom Rax Real 3D is much higher than the Dose Length Product (DLP) of a Multi-Detector CT (MDCT) for acquiring a comparable image quality. Question Dose Comparison Incorrect The solution: To compare the applied radiation dose between Real 3D and a MDCT scanner, the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol,16cm) of both systems should be used. Incorrect The solution: To compare the applied radiation dose between Real 3D and a MDCT scanner, the Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDIvol,16cm) of both systems should be used. Correct Explanation of the Correct Answer Continue Dose declarations of Real 3D: Dose Area Product [Gy·m²] Dose Length Product [mGy·cm] Computed Tomography Dose Index as CTDIvol,16 cm [mGy] Real 3D offers computed values for DLP and CTDI vol,16cm. As a basis for calculating these values, conversion factors were determined in dose measurements with a 16 cm CTDI phantom. To compare the applied radiation dose between Real 3D and a MDCT scanner, the CTDI vol,16cm of both systems should be used. ? Integrated ionization chamber for DAP in real time 16 cm diameter CTDI phantom Dose probe Explanation of the Correct Answer ? Magdalena Herbst System Physicist Siemens Healthineers Forchheim, Germany Technology Behind True2scale Body Scan ? Technology Behind True2scale Body Scan Select the applicable image. ? Which image best illustrates the beam-detector architecture and movement of the True2Scale body scan? Question 1 of 2 Question Beam-Detector Incorrect This is the correct image: Correct Incorrect This is the correct image: Explanation of the Correct Answer Continue With a smart combination of slightly asynchronous detector and tube movement, MTR makes full use of the potential patient coverage. By moving the collimated beam along the detector during the scan movement, this technology delivers a scan range of 190 cm in a supine position and 170 cm in natural, weight-bearing condition. ? Explanation of the Correct Answer Select the best answer. ? Question 2 of 2 How can we achieve lower dose? Collimation reduces scatter compared to full-field acquisitions. Scattered radiation improves image quality in terms of image contrast and signal-to-noise ratio. A collimated beam has no dose saving potential. Question Lower Dose Incorrect The solution: Collimation reduces scatter compared to full-field acquisitions. Incorrect The solution: Collimation reduces scatter compared to full-field acquisitions. Correct Explanation of the Correct Answer Continue Native scatter reduction through high beam collimation: Collimation reduces scatter compared to full-field acquisitions as less scatter events take place and some scattered photons hit the detector outside the relevant area. Due to less scattered radiation the collimated beam technology facilitates reduced doses with a gridless acquisition, while maintaining signal-to-noise ratio. ? Explanation of the Correct Answer ?
