With each kind of message, a notification icon is provided. See their meanings in the following table: Scan Conflicts and Management ? Scan Range Cannot Be Loaded Scan conflicts get visualized by two notification icons: Warning icon: Scan can be performed The Precondition task in the Taskflow Control area displays information about the reason for a conflict and how it can be solved. The icons will also mark the parameter which needs to be modified in the scan or Recon Parameter display. Error icon: Scan conflict must be solved to enable scanning Select the tab arrows to learn about how you can manage and solve scan conflicts. System capacity Topogram too short Patient table position Recon ranges Tube load conflict Scan Range Cannot Be Loaded [Audio file name audf_va40_ui_shui_introduction_olt_scm_srcbl.mp3] Scan conflicts get visualized by two notification icons: Warning icon: Scan can be performed The Precondition task in the Taskflow Control area displays information about the reason for a conflict and how it can be solved. The icons will also mark the parameter which needs to be modified in the scan or Recon Parameter display. Error icon: Scan conflict must be solved to enable scanning Select the tab arrows to learn about how you can manage and solve scan conflicts. Tube Load Conflict A tube load conflict occurs if the X-ray tube temperature is expected to exceed the system limits during the subsequent scan range. The cooling time exceeds 10 minutes. The Adjust button is displayed. In the execution control area, click Adjust. The required parameter settings are auto- matically adapted to the appropriate values. The GO button is displayed again. Continue with loading the range for scanning by clicking the GO button. Recon Ranges Recon Ranges Contain Gaps In the Execution Control area, a message is displayed telling there is a gap between recons. The GO button is disabled. To continue scanning without adapting the recon ranges, click Confirm. The GO button is re-enabled. – or – Adapt the recon ranges graphically. The GO button is re-enabled. Continue with loading the range for scanning by clicking the GO button. Patient Table Position Invalid position of the patient table In the Execution Control area, a message informs you that the position of the patient table is invalid. The GO button disabled. Move the patient table to an appropriate position: Move the patient table via the control box or remote control from the control or examination room. The GO button is enabled again once the appropriate table position is reached. To continue the exam, click the GO button. Topogram too Short The syngo Acquisition Workplace provides information on the position of the scan range on the topogram. Table with 3 columns and 3 rows Icon Description Possible Reasons Warning If the scan range is completely positioned outside the topogram, a message is displayed that the topogram is missing. Red warning icons are displayed and the CARE Profile is red. In this case, the scan range cannot be loaded. The patient size exceeds the planned scan range. The scan or recon parameters have been modified. Before the topogram is acquired, the topogram length has been modified. Error If more than 3 cm of a scan range lie outside of the topogram in z-direction, a message is displayed that the topogram is too short. Yellow warning icons are displayed and the CARE Profile is partially yellow. This means that the topogram length is too short for the planned examination. The patient size exceeds the planned scan range. • The scan or recon parameters have been modified. • Before the topogram is acquired, the topogram length has been modified. Please note: If FAST Planning is enabled, the scan ranges are automatically placed on the topogram. They may exceed the topogram length. System Capacity Not enough disk space, memory, or system capacity A dialog box informs you that not enough disk place, memory, or system capacity is available. The GO button is disabled. In the dialog box, click OK and the dialog box will close. To free up disk space you can, for example, delete images or raw data. If enough disk space, memory, or system capacity is available, the GO button is re-enabled. Continue with loading the range for scanning. The status bar icons to the right represent the free raw data disk space on your CT system. On the status bar, move the mouse pointer over the icon to view the approximate amount of free disk space on your CT system. In case of a low amount of free disk space, delete old images to free up disk space. Table with 3 columns and 5 rows Status Bar Icons Raw data disk space Image disk space Description Green: Filling level of available disk space on your system does not exceed the low watermark. Yellow: Filling level of available disk space on your system exceeds the low watermark but does not exceed the high watermark. Red: Filling level of available disk space on your system exceeds the high watermark. ? FAST Adjust: Solving X-Ray Tube Conflicts If the system limits are exceeded because the parameters are unsuitable for the size of the patient, the Fully Automated Scanner Technology FAST Adjust helps you to quickly adapt the required parameter settings to the appropriate values. The Adjust button is available in the execution control in case of an image quality or tube load conflict and offers the possibility to solve such conflicts by changing current-related parameters. The FAST Adjust option uses default limits for the following parameters: FAST Adjust Lower Limit Pitch Factor: Controls the minimal acceptable pitch value. Decreasing the pitch increases the scan time. FAST Adjust Upper Limit Scan Time [s]: Controls the maximum possible scan time that is specified for each scan range. Decreasing the pitch increases the scan time. FAST Adjust Lower Limit max. mAs [%]: Controls the maximal possible mAs and Eff. mAs decrease. Within the configured limits, clicking the Adjust button automatically adapts the required parameter settings to the appropriate values. The configured limits are displayed in the Preconditions task in the taskflow control. The effects on the parameters by the FAST Adjust algorithm depend on the CARE Dose4D setting in the scan protocol.
