Safety Information
To the User of This Manual
The user of this manual is directed to read and carefully review the instructions, warnings and cautions contained herein prior to beginning installation or service activities.
While you may have previously installed or serviced equipment similar to that described in this manual, changes in design, manufacture or procedure may have occurred
which significantly affect the present installation or service.
Installation and Environment

Except for installations requiring certification by the manufacturer per federal standards, see that a radiation protection survey is made by a qualified expert in accordance
with NCRP 102, section 7, as revised or replaced in the future. Perform a survey after every change in equipment, workload, or operating conditions which might
significantly increase the probability of persons receiving more than the maximum permissible dose equivalent.
Diagnostic Imaging Systems - Mechanical-electrical Warning

All of the moveable assemblies and parts of this equipment should be operated with care and routinely inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
contained in the equipment manuals.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should be permitted access to any internal parts. Live electrical terminals are deadly; be sure line disconnects are opened and
other appropriate precautions are taken before opening access doors, removing enclosure panels, or attaching accessories.
Do not under any circumstances, remove the flexible high tension cables from the x-ray tube housing or high tension generator and/or the access covers from the generator
until the main and auxiliary power supplies have been disconnected. Failure to comply with the above may result in serious or fatal bodily injuries to the operator or those
in the area.
Electrical-grounding Instructions
The equipment must be grounded to an earth ground by a separate conductor. The neutral side of the line is not to be considered the earth ground. On equipment
provided with a line cord, the equipment must be connected to properly grounded, three-pin receptacle. Do not use a three-to-two pin adapter.
Diagnostic Imaging Systems - Radiation Warning

X-ray and Gamma-rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity unless established safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious or fatal bodily injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator. Adequate precautions
must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation resulting from the
passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, participate in or supervise the operation of the equipment must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with the current established
safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications, such as: Subchapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, "Diagnostic X-ray Systems and Their
Major Components", and the national council on radiation protection (NCRP) no. 102, "Medical X-ray And Gamma-ray Protection For Energies Up To 10 Mev-
equipment Design and Use", as revised or replaced in the future.
Those responsible for planning of x-ray and gamma-ray equipment installations must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with NCRP no. 49, "Structural
Shielding Design and Evaluation For Medical Of X-rays and Gamma-rays of Energies Up to 10 Mev", as revised and replaced in the future. Failure to observe these
warnings may cause serious or fatal bodily injuries to the operator or those in the area.
Add additional safety information as needed
Only qualified and system trained Philips service staff is allowed to perform service (installation, maintenance, quality assurance) on the Brilliance CT systems. Make
TM
sure that the latest version of the service instructions are available. Read the corresponding instructions carefully prior to working on the system. For your own safety and
for more detailed safety information, refer only to the current version of the documents.
Use only specified tools and auxiliary materials. After finishing any service activity, ensure that all covers of the Brilliance CT, including the mylar gasket, are closed
TM
Precautionary Measures Regarding Electrical Voltage

Before you start the procedure outlined in this manual, make sure that you read and understand the warnings listed below.
WARNING PRIOR TO ANY SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES INSIDE COMPONENTS:

SWITCH OFF THE SYSTEM AT THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY, (USING THE ON-SITE ON-OFF
SWITCH) AND THE INTERNAL/EXTERNAL UNINTERRUPTIBLE POWER SUPPLY (UPS).
MAKE SURE THAT NO OTHER PERSON CAN SWITCH ON POWER OR SWITCH OFF THE
SECURITY MEASURES, WHEN INSTALLATION, MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE WORK ON THE
SYSTEM IS PERFORMED.
WARNING WHEN PERFORMING ANY PROCEDURE INSIDE THE PDC:

SWITCH OFF ALL EXTERNAL POWER, E.G. POWER FOR X-RAY WARNING LAMP.
PRIOR TO ANY INTERVENTION IN THE PDC, ALLOW AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES DISCHARGE
TIME AFTER THE LAST SCAN. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE LEVELS (>500V) MAY BE PRESENT
EVEN IF THE SYSTEM IS SWITCHED OFF.
WARNING IN ADDITION TO THE WARNINGS LISTED ABOVE, MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL SAFETY
GUIDELINES AS DESCRIBED IN THE SAFETY CHAPTER OF THIS MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO
SO CAN RESULT IN SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION Always use an ESD protection wrist strap when servicing any component in the system.

Application Release Notes
New Features
This version includes the following changes:
• Scan angle parameter in the protocol:

— In Head scans, Scan angle of 360/420 can be selected in Generate Protocols mode. This applies to all Head
scan-types.
— Scan angle of 240 is automatically applied by the rules system to specific scans like locator and tracker.
• FOV for Surview may be set by the user.
• New cardiac factory protocols for the Cardiac option
• Report options are available
• Image quality for scanners: 10 slices in 8x3mm mode and for 6 slices in 6x3 mode, was improved – splay artifacts
were reduced.
• Remote Recon option can be used (EBW V2.0.52)
Work Flow
• Integration of EBW 2.0 into the Scanner Console
• Enhanced Plan on Surview, including additional reconstructions and MPRs.
• Enhanced graphic planning on Surview for easier and faster operation. Mouse cursor automatically changes its
shape according to the desired operation:
Move the Scan - move mouse cursor into the middle of scan plan box (not over one of the scan’s borders),
then click and drag the scan plan box to the desired position.
Change Start/End - move mouse cursor to beginning or end of scan, then click and drag the line up or
down.
Change Field of View – move mouse cursor to the scans side borders, then click and drag the line left or
right.
Rotate the Scan (Axial and MPRs only) – move mouse cursor over the Rotate icon above the scan
rectangle, then click and drag the mouse left or right.
Resize Plan – move the mouse is over a corner of the plan contour, then click and drag the corner to
change the corner position. This changes the start, end, length, FOV, or X/Y shift. When dragging the
corner, the FOV does not change symmetrically
MPR planning
• During the Plan Scan stage – after the reconstruction is complete, the CT Viewer is launched and the MPR images
are displayed.
— Add an MPR: click on a scan in Series list during Plan Scan stage and click “Insert MPR” button. The MPR is
inserted after the selected series. The MPR “RAW images” are derived from the recon before it.
— Set MPR parameters: Click on the MPR in Series list to view the MPR parameters.
— Change the MPR’s length and FOV: can be done graphically.
NOTE The middle of MPR must always be within the scan’s boundaries.
— Orientation: there are three ways of determining MPR orientation.

Orientation buttons: Sagittal / Coronal / Axial buttons sets the MPR direction and uses maximum scan
volume.
Sagittal angle and Coronal angle: parameter in scan protocol. Range is –90 to +90.
Graphic interface to Rotate the MPR: When using a Surview 180, the Sagittal angle can be rotated. When
using Surview 90, the Coronal angle can be rotated.
NOTE Using both angles on single Surview can be confusing and is not recommended.
NOTE When using both angles, the plan box (blue filled rectangle) is used to manipulate MPR (Move, change
F.O.V. etc.)
— Viewing MPR images: After all images are reconstructed MPR images are automatically loaded into the
CT Viewer.
— Batch: range can be edited by using the “insert” and “delete” buttons in the keyboard
Important To save the MPR series, right click on the series name, and select “save” or “film”. Images are not
automatically saved.
— Interactive series list (in the toolbox): controls both planning the scans on the Surview and viewing the images
on the Scan Viewer.
Click on a Series to plan it (in Plan Scan mode) or to View the images (in View Scan mode).
Copy, Paste and Delete scans and recons directly from series list during planning and viewing.

Pulmo Instructions
• To plan two Pulmo Prospective scans using different scan modes (for instance "max inhale" and "max exhale")
perform the scans as follows:
1 Plan the first scan in the max. inhale mode and click Go.
2 When the scan is complete plan the second scan in the Max. Exhale mode.
3 Click Go.
NOTE Do not plan the two scans simultaneously.
• To avoid reconstruction failure due to invalid pitch, always keep the pitch values within 0.04 - 0.08 and the rotation
time 0.4 or 0.5 sec. The factory recommended values are: Pitch = 0.06 and RT = 0.5 sec.
• The Varian sensor is not supported. The only supported sensor is Bellows.
• Never edit the R tags on-line. After the scan and reconstruction are finished, end the study and only then perform R-
tag editing for the off-line reconstruction. If the peak is not identified use the "Add new tag" function. Editing the last
R-tag doesn't work.
• The message "Respiratory device is disconnected" may appear during the Pulmo scans, even when the device is
performing correctly. When this message appears make sure that the device is connected. If it is disconnected,
abort the scan.
Easy protocols
• Clinically oriented scanning: a new parameter called Scan Type is used to avoid erroneous parameters.
• Parameters that may result in bad image quality are not available.
• Automatic parameters: parameters are optimized automatically according to the scan type.
• Improved protocol interface: a new design offers more intuitive operation.
Bolus Tracking Enhancements

• Automatic vessel tracking for improved triggering when following the vessel movements.
• Improved tracker image quality: 512 matrix
Pulmonary Gating Option

• Trigger a scan at a particular breath level: prospective scan at different breath phases.
• Improved image quality by reducing the motion artifacts caused by patient’s breathing.
Cardiac Irregularities (R Tag Correction) in Retrospective Tagging

• Improved image quality of cardiac scans by adding, deleting or adjusting the R tags on the ECG graph before final
recon.
Cardiac Adaptive Filter

• A new algorithm dedicated to Cardiac scans, replaces the regular Adaptive Filter for Cardiac scans.
• Activated from the Advanced tab of a Cardiac scan: same checkbox as normal Adaptive Filter.
• In order to control the adaptive filter in the scan protocol, in the Preferences window clear the Automatic Special
Filters selection.
Adaptive Filter
• Select to activate a special algorithm that improves image quality of Axial & Helical scans.
• Available in the Advanced tab of a scan.
• In order to control the adaptive filter from the scan protocol, in the Preferences window clear the Automatic Special
Filters selection.
Recon Image Enhancement

Recon Image enhancement may be set in the scan protocol. The enhanced image may be viewed on external devices
as it appears on the scanner viewer.
Shifted CT scale
• The CT scale is shifted down by 24 Hounsfield units as shown below.
• The upper 24 Hounsfield units are lost in favor of low-end 24 Hounsfield units.
Figure 80: CT Scale Shift
Issues fixed in Brilliance V2.0.2/4.0.2

The following corrections and improvements were implemented in version 2.0.2/4.0.2:
• Annotations in MIP MasterCut

• LNA option – volume calculation accuracy
• BolusPro reliability improvements
• Fix patient data improvements
• HIS/RIS window is no more hidden behind other windows
• Cardiac viewer fixes
• DLP (Dose-Length product) display for short spiral scans accuracy
• Split-study is a key-enabled option
• Long TC crash on arcing
• Bug and Irregularities
• Reconstruction with SP Off
The reconstruction with SP off is now allowed. Although Philips recommends reconstructing with the SP on, in some
cases where the speed of the scan is crucial for the success of the scan, the SP may be turned off.
This applies to the Ultra Fast mode where the DFS is not used, and as a result the in-plane resolution decreases when
the SP is on and/or the pitch is higher than 1.
Consequently, in order to optimize the reconstruction quality in these scans, you may wish to turn-off the SP. However,
if the scan mode is Ultra-Fast and the needed scan speed is so fast that the actual pitch is higher than 1, the SP should
be on since the in-plane resolution will anyway be low.
To summarize the recommended SP status, see the table below:
Pitch UF Std. HR UHR
<1 OFF ON ON ON
(CIRS systems) ON
>1 ON ON NA
(IRS systems) NA
Scanner Operation Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION
• During Bolus tracking, pay attention to the CT values on images.
• To start the clinical scan manually, click the Start Clinical scan button.
• When using SAS injector — start the injection only after the message “Start Injection” appears on the scanner
screen.
• Perform daily and monthly scanner checks to ensure correct CT numerical values.
• Keep the Maylar clean at all times. Any contrast material left on the Mylar surface, patient table, and accessories will
create image artifacts. (see instructions in the section Cleaning the System).
• When Automatic dose-right ACS is used — always review the mAs value before scanning.
• When a Decubitus position is used, review Surview scan angle. When using a Decubitus position use 90° for AP and
PA and 180° for Lateral.
• While working in the scanner room, be aware of cables that may be lying on the floor around the Gantry.
• A doctor must sign reports used for Interventional operations.
WARNING Biopsy CCT

• The doctor must avoid infecting the patient; do not touch the panel or any other surface that is not sterile.
• Ask the assistant to operate the panel.
• Use disposable sterile gloves.
• Perform operations on the console according to the biopsy operator’s instructions.
WARNING ADDITIONAL OR OFF-LINE RECONSTRUCTION

• Don’t use 7.5 mm slice thickness in Additional or Off-line reconstruction if the scan was acquired with 6x3 mm or 8x3
mm collimation and the original slice thickness was 3.3 mm.
CAUTION Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) will supply power to the console for approximately
10 to 15 minutes when there is a power failure. To improve system security against
program viruses, the UPS does not send messages (time left on UPS power or shut
down) to the user. The user must quickly complete the reconstruction for the last scan
and then safely shut down the Host and IRS computers.

— Routine CCTA protocol: Adaptive filter + CC filter
— Stent protocol: Adaptive filer + CD filter
TLCT
• The actual cycle time may differ from the planned cycle time up to 0.5 seconds.
Pulmo
• Use of Re-Recon creates images that don't belong to the required phase. In order to reconstruct the desired phase
only use the Off-line reconstruction.
Offline Reconstruction
• Sometimes it takes up to 20 seconds until the Reconstruction editor opens after selecting View Recon.
Archive – Sub Selection

• Split option in sub-selection window doesn’t work.
• Don’t use Sub-selection when mixed series are selected.
• If the reference surview appears gray, re-select the requested series in the archive without surview images.
General
• Restart the host console every day.
• Before using Generate Protocols or Air calibration, click Start Study and make sure the patient data fields are
empty.
• Make sure the EOD media is always inserted into the EOD slot, even if it is not used for backup.
• Stereotaxis: use only spiral protocols with SP reconstruction or Axial protocols. If you are using axial protocols,
select only the following collimations:
— For 16 and 10 slices configuration: 4x0.75, 4x1.5 or 4x3.
— For 6 slices configuration use 3x1.5mm or 3x3mm images obtained from 6x0.75mm or 6x1.5mm collimation
respectively.
• “Unhandled Exception” error message– if this dialog box appears, click Quit and Logout. Do not continue
working after an Unhandled Exception appeared.
• Dental CT Application: only images with matrix 512x512 can be loaded to the application. In case the Dental images
have higher matrix, perform offline recon with matrix 512.
• Cursor coordinates value on Surview may not be accurate, don’t use them for measuring or positioning.
Common IRS (CIRS) Guidelines

• The toolbox state messages might not be synchronized (messages such as: Scanning, Reconstruction, Acquisition
complete).
• The numbers of images left for reconstruction on the scan viewer might not be accurate.
• If CIRS was disconnected or turned off for any reason, Logoff and then Logon the console before scanning (for
systems with CIRS).
Application Limitations
Quick Review
• Unable to open RF or CR modality images
Workaround: Open the images in the Viewer application
Lung Nodule Assessment (LNA)

• After segmenting a nodule it is impossible to edit the contours on the original images.
States
State doesn't include the following features:
• User graphics including QCTA tool graphic elements

• Sculpting
• Bone removal
• Batch/cine
• Rendering parameters (protocols)
• User-defined stent measurements
• CCTA states containing multiple phases does not support loading bookmarks saved in scenes other than Cage
Removal.
• AVA Stent Planning stage
Workarounds for Known problems

• When loading to the CCTA application, the window is gray.
Solution: left click the mouse on the window.
• In Archive manager it is impossible to access a remote EOD after formatting.
Solution: transfer data locally to the formatted EOD before trying to access the remote EOD.
• Archive manager gets stuck (does not respond).
Solution: Press keyboard Alt + Tab (Quick Review) and check if an open application or dialog box is hiding
behind the Archive Manager window.
• Loading large matrix images: the Preview application can open up to 1700 images at a resolution of 512x512. When
opening larger matrix images, a reduced number of images are allowed.
Solution: Open up to 850 images of 768x768 matrix and up to 425 images of 1024x1024 matrix.
• HIS-RIS hides is behind the main window
Solution: Click on home page
• If some series don't appear on the IRS archive
Solution: Select another patient and then reselect the previous patient series.
• When reconstruction is stuck and does not proceed (for CIRS only) follow the following steps:
a Shut down the CIRS computer and wait approximately one minute
b Turn on the CIRS computer and wait until the “IRS disconnected” message disappears.
c Reconstruct off-line the problematic Raw data by redefining as Start position the original start position plus at least
2 mm.
For example: if the original start position is 123.4 mm and the original increment is -0.5 mm then the new start
position will be 121 mm.
• On IRS systems, as in the previous software versions, the Raw Data on the IRS cannot be locked against automatic
delete when it is the oldest raw on the disk and a new scan is requested.
Solution: To reconstruct a study again, perform the reconstruction before the Raw Data is automatically
deleted from the IRS."
Brilliance (water-cooled) Version 2.2.1 and Mx8000 IDT V4.2.1

Application Release Notes
New Features in Brilliance 2.2.1
Cardiac
• New filters: Eight cardiac filters are available.
— CA and XresA are intended for large size patients
— CB and XresB are intended for Average size patients
— CC and XresC improves image quality for average size patients to get sharper images
— CD and XresD are intended for stent imaging
— The Xres filters use a special adaptive algorithm for noise optimization.
The user should select the best filter adequate for his needs. All 8 filters were present in the first and second betas of
BR2.2.1, however special attention should be given to image quality with filters CC and the Xres filters.
• Cosmix filter: Four new filters are introduced in BR2.2.1. The purpose of the COSMIX filters is to reduce the noise in
the vessels while preserving their edges thus enhancing the coronaries visualization in cardiac applications.
Validation of these filters will be done both internally and externally (Not in beta 1)
• Burlap artifact: A correction to reduce the burlap artifact on cardiac images is introduced to BR2.2.1. The validation
of this artifact will be done mostly internally.
• Continue cardiac scan: If scan continued, one ECG file and one volume scan is resulted when reviewing the data in
CT viewer or Cardiac viewer. Not applied to off line.
• Irregularities detection and correction: An automatic algorithm to detect irregularities in the patient heart rate runs
in the background of a cardiac scan. In case such an irregularity is detected, the following occurs:
— If the Cardiac Dose Right was ON, it will be cancelled automatically to allow reconstruction of additional phases at
higher image quality. The user receives the following message: “Cardiac Dose Right cancelled due to unstable
heart rate”.
— The ECG viewer notifies the user the number of irregularities detected
— The ECG wave presents the first irregularity detected.
— The irregularities detected are automatically labeled with a question mark. The user can accept or reject the
automatic detection with the left-click options. Before Accepting / Rejecting a detected irregularity, the user should
review the ECG wave and determine if the detected irregularity is actually an irregularity.
— If the user accepts the irregularity the question mark will disappear and in some cases additional phases will be
automatically added to the reconstruction request.
— If the user rejects the irregularity: the label will be removed and no changes in the reconstruction procedure will
be made.
— If the user takes no action (neither accepts nor rejects the irregularity): the question mark label remains and no
changes in the reconstruction is made.
— In offline reconstruction or in re-recon the user has three possibilities:
— Re-run the irregularities detection algorithm: right-click on the ECG viewer
and click Run Irreg autodetect
— Accept or Reject irregularities
— Click Reset
• Recon parameters (such as FOV and Shifts) are saved after evolving.
New Filters (applicable only for system with CIRS)

Six new filters with improved spatial resolution (both in plane and longitude direction) are introduced, two for each scan
mode: YA and YB for Standard Resolution, YC and YD for High Resolution and YE and YF for Ultra High Resolution.
mA and mAs Values

The mA values now appears together with the mAs value; this allows the user to know what tube power was used for a
given scan. In order to enable the display of both mA and mAs values:
1 Click Preferences in the Archive toolbox.
2 Select Image Viewing | Titles in the Preferences tree on the left side of the window.
3 Select (check) the Current checkbox.
4 Select the location on the image to view the mA value.
5 Click OK to close the Preferences window.
Bolus Pro Automatic ROI Graphic Improvement

• Operator adjustment of the automatic ROI is limited to less than 1.5 around the original position to avoid inaccurate
positioning.
• Active ROI (the one that will trigger) is more prominent.
A New Surview Mode

A new Surview mode is introduced called Multi Surview. In this mode a large number of Surview scans may be
performed within the same study. This enables rescanning after a scanner operation errors or when a repetitive
procedure for Oncology purposes is needed.
In order to enable this new mode open the Preferences | Scan Options and select Multi Surview in the Surview
Mode drop-down list.
Force Max FOV in Detailed and UH Resolutions

Max FOV on the plan viewer includes shift calculations.
New GUI in Plan VIEWER

Max FOV is Displayed on the image. Data for off-line planning: the user will know that he cannot use data beyond the
max FOV.
Minimum Delay in Timed Scan

A new parameter was added to the scan protocol, in the injection tab: Minimum delay. This parameter keeps the scans
with the minimum possible delay.
Scanner Operation Cautions and Warnings
CAUTION

• To see new studies in the local archive, click Refresh in the Directory window.
• Filtering the series list: when typing a partial string, use "*" before and/or after the string. For example: searching for
patient named Smith, type the partial string Sm*.
• When copying data to the EOD, select 1-4 studies a time. Copying large batches of data may cause the system to
slow down.
• Avoid using the Full Rebuild option in the Archive.
• It is recommended not to delete more than 25 studies at once.
• Do not use the Split Series feature in Sub-selection.
• If series' appear to be missing in the IRS device, switch to a different study and then back to the current one.
Bolus Tracking
• If Go is disabled, check that the tracker post threshold delay is legal.
• Do not use minimum cycle time when rotation time=1.
Interventional CCT
• CCT fluoro - The last few images may not appear in the CCT viewer when releasing the pedal. These slices will
arrive after pause.
• Pressing the Pedal while scanner is initializing may interrupt the initialization process. Press the pedal only when
"Press Pedal" message appears.
NOTE If the table height and tilt are changed during the scan, image parameters will not be updated.
Pulmo
• Do not use Pulmo scans in combination with Bolus tracking, timed scans or cardiac scans.
• Start offline recon only after the Pulmo study is completed and closed.
• The Pulmonary viewer in the operator console may not be accurate and used for the reconstruction process only.
Cardiac
• Generate a Cardiac protocol only from a factory Cardiac-protocol.
• Do not scan patients with a heart rate lower than 40 or higher than 140.
• Y Scale of HR graph does not adjust automatically. This results in the graph running out of the visible area.
• ECG R-tag Correction: Do not use APB/VPB correction
• ECG Editing tool: Do not use "Add new R-Tag" option.

• Do not use the following options during a cardiac study:
— Tilt
— DOM (in Retrospective Cardiac scan)
— Auto Processing
— Cardiac Injection Guide
• Do not delete ECG from the archive.
• It is highly recommended to use 0.2 pitch for all heart rates
• Automatic arrhythmia detection is applied before and after each scan. Currently, correction of arrhythmia can only be
performed manually via R-tag editing.
• Do not use off-line reconstruction from the Cardiac Viewer (Re-Recon)— perform additional reconstructions in the
Off-Line Recon application only.
• When Cardiac Doseright is applied, automatic arrhythmia detection will automatically cancel this feature if an
irregular rhythm is detected during a scan.
• Reset monitor between scans.
• Prospective gating for calcium scoring should be performed at phase 75% (and not 85%). Prospective and
retrospective phase definitions are now equivalent.
• Do not perform a non-cardiac scan after a cardiac one in a single study.
• Do not use the following filters: 'D', 'CD', and 'XCD'.
Cardiac Off-line Reconstruction

The reconstruction shift and zoom settings are not saved with the Raw Data in Cardiac Scans. Therefore, if off-line
reconstructions are needed (e.g. for different phases) proceed as follows:
1 Load the original series in the CT Viewer and select the 2D scene.
2 Make a note of the x and y shift and the zoom settings of the images.
3 Load the Raw Data from the IRS.
4 Change the shift and zoom values from the original images (see Step 2 above) and then start the off-line
reconstruction.
Preferences
• The Fast get ready feature is not available. Make sure it set to NO.
• When activating/deactivating the Fast get ready feature, changes will only be applied after logout/login. No such
message will appear.
TLCT
The actual cycle time can differ from the planned cycle time by up to 0.5 seconds.
Viewing and Filming

• When sending images from CT Viewer or from Cardiac viewer to film, the contrast sign (C) will not appear on the
filmed image. The ECG value in cardiac images will also be missing.
• Before using Generate Protocols or Air Calibration, Click Start Study/End study and make sure the patient data
fields are empty.
• Avoid printing while images are being loaded to the Master Film.
• When using Auto Filming, always make sure all requested images were loaded to Master Film with correct
windowing settings.
• Dental CT Application: only images with matrix 512x512 can be loaded to the application. Use only Spiral protocols
with SP reconstruction.
• Stereotaxis: use only Spiral protocols with SP reconstruction or Axial protocols. If axial protocols are used, select
only 16x0.75 and thickness 3mm or 16x1.5 and thickness 6mm.
• Cursor coordinates value on surview may not be accurate, do not use them to measure the positioning.
• Do not use the CT / MR application.
Common IRS (CIRS) Guidelines

• Evolving reconstruction might be slow. You will see the green line advancing and images still arriving even when the
scan is completed.
• The toolbox state messages might not be synchronized (messages such as: Scanning, Reconstruction, Acquisition
complete).
