It will cover the five learning objectives listed on the right. Please note: The update to VA20 also provides a more powerful computer hardware for the syngo XR imaging system. ? Exposure Correction Relevance for clinical workflow step: Check & adjust acquisition parameters. Clinical relevance of feature: You can compensate an anticipated over-/under-exposure by applying an Exposure Correction value upfront. This helps to have a stable image impression, and thus compensate the influence of, for example, metal implants. Duration of simulation: 1 min. Feature description: You can set Exposure Correction to values between -2 and +2 and modify them in increments of ± 0.5 exposure points (EP). Concept Practice Select Concept to learn about the underlying concept. Select Practice to start the simulation. Exposure Correction [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim.mp3] When you check and adjust acquisition parameters, you can compensate an anticipated over- or underexposure by applying an Exposure Correction value upfront. This helps to have a stable image impression, and thus compensate the influence of, for example, metal implants. You can set Exposure Correction to values between minus 2 and plus 2. You can modify them in increments of plus minus 0.5 exposure points (EP). Select Concept to learn about the underlying Exposure Correction concept. Select Practice to start the simulation. Exposure Correction Concept To obtain darker or brighter images, the dose can be modified in steps of exposure points (EP). The following rules are valid for the Siemens Healthineers EP: 1 EP changes the exposure / dose about 25%. 3 EP more equal about double the dose. 3 EP less equal about half the dose. In general, 1 EP compensates an object thickness of approximately 1 cm. Select Show More to continue. Exp_Corr_Sim_01 [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim_01.mp3] In this short simulation, we will show you how to easily modify Exposure Correction. In the Acquisition Parameters area of the Examination user interface, select Show More to see more acquisition parameters. Please select Show More to continue. Select the EC field to continue. Exp_Corr_Sim_02 [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim_02.mp3] The Acquisition Parameters area unfolds and shows more acquisition parameters. To adjust Exposure Correction, select the EC field. Please select the EC field to continue. Select 1 to continue. Exp_Corr_Sim_03 [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim_03.mp3] A scrollable list of available values appears. Here you can set Exposure Correction to values between minus 2 and plus 2. You can modify them in increments of plus minus 0.5 exposure points (EP). You can scroll through this list by swiping your finger up or down. To scroll through the list value by value, simply select the up and down arrows. Let’s assume you would like to modify Exposure Correction by plus 1 exposure point. Select the value 1 on the value display to continue. Please select 1 on the value display to continue. Exp_Corr_Sim_04 [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim_04.mp3] The selected value 1 gets displayed in the EC field. In addition, the selected Exposure Correction gets displayed in the Display of exposure field parameters in the top right corner. Congratulations! You have successfully modified Exposure Correction. You can try this simulation again or continue with the training. Retry Continue Exp_Corr_Sim_05 [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exp_corr_sim_05.mp3] Congratulations! You have successfully modified Exposure Correction. You can try this simulation again or continue with the training. ? Relevance for clinical workflow step: Check & adjust acquisition parameters. Clinical relevance of feature: Adequate exposure time for every examination. Feature description: The Auto Exposure Timer is an improved function which replaces the Long Time Exposure (LTE). You no longer have to choose the Long Time Exposure manually before each patient. This helps to reduce the average examination time and the likelihood of incorrect exposures. Auto Exposure Timer VA10 Exposure Parameters in Clinical Protocol Editor VA20 Exposure Parameters in Clinical Protocol Editor Auto Exposure Timer [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_aet_illus.mp3] When checking and adjusting acquisition parameters, the Auto Exposure Timer automatically applies the adequate exposure time for every examination. The Auto Exposure Timer is an improved function which replaces the Long Time Exposure (LTE). You no longer have to choose the Long Time Exposure manually before each patient. This helps to reduce the average examination time and the likelihood of incorrect exposures. ? ROI (Region of Interest) Tool Relevance for clinical workflow step: Check & adjust acquisition parameters. Clinical relevance of feature: The ROI tool displays the number of ROI pixels, the mean, minimum and maximum pixel value, as well as the standard deviation. Evaluate statistical values for a circular region of interest (ROI). Feature description: Applying the ROI tool, you can create a circular region of interest and evaluate the grey values within this ROI. Start the video to learn how to use the ROI tool. Duration of video: 1 min. ROI (Region of Interest) Tool [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_roi_tool_vid.mp3] When you check and adjust acquisition parameters, you can apply the ROI tool. You can create a circular region of interest, short ROI, and evaluate the grey values within this ROI. It displays the number of ROI pixels, the mean, minimum and maximum pixel value, as well as the standard deviation of the ROI. Start the video to learn how to use the ROI tool. [Speaker text of video:] In this short video, we will show you how to use the ROI tool on a thorax image acquired from a phantom. To activate the ROI tool, select the ROI button in the Viewing Tools area of the Viewing mode. You can reposition the ROI by dragging and dropping the center touch point. Change the size of the ROI by selecting the spots on the outside of it. Close to the ROI, measured values are displayed, such as the number of ROI pixels, the standard deviation, as well as the mean, minimum and maximum pixel value. To delete the ROI, select the trash bin icon. Please note: You cannot store the ROI, nor can you send it to the PACS. ? EXI Statistics Relevance for topic: Service functions. Relevance for clinical workflow step: Evaluation of EXI values for performed examination steps. Clinical relevance of feature: Super users and image quality experts can check and evaluate clinical EXI values for the examinations performed. Feature description: EXI Statistics is a structured log file containing the following information of every acquired RAD image: Clinical EXI value, Target EXI determined in the organ program via parameter subset, Deviation index, Other exposure data, And an anonymous link to the DICOM image data. You can export this log file to a USB memory. How to run EXI Statistics – Part 1 How to run EXI Statistics – Part 2 EXI Statistics [audf_ysio_xpree_delta_olt_exi_stats.mp3] Exposure Index (EXI) Statistics provides a structured log file. It enables super users and image quality experts to check and evaluate clinical EXIs. The log file contains the following information of every acquired RAD image: Clinical EXI value, Target EXI determined in the organ program via parameter subset, Deviation index, Other exposure data, And an anonymous link to the DICOM image data. You can export this log file to a USB memory stick. How to run EXI Statistics – Part 2 In order to run statistics, please select Enable Tracking of EXI Statistics. The EXI Statistics run for every examination performed after enabling it. For evaluation, you can select a Time Frame and change the Deviation Lower Limit and Deviation Upper Limit. If desired, you can also export the EXI Statistics. How to run EXI Statistics – Part 1 You can run EXI Statistics for the examinations done.
