Step 2: position the X-ray system and the patient
1. Move the X-ray system to the right position.
a) Check if a correct automatic position is selected.
Figure 45: Positioning controls
b) Move the X-ray system to the selected automatic position.
The actual and target position parameters are displayed on the
software console. Use the automatic positioning button to move the
system to the target position. When the target position is reached, the
movement stops.
2. Position the patient.
WARNING:
Warn the patient that the X-ray tube will perform a sweeping
movement during the examination. Give instructions to
avoid that the patient looses balance and to avoid injuries in
patient hands or fingers.
Keep the position tracking activated when further adjusting the position.
3. On the collimator, switch on the light localizer. Apply collimation.
WARNING:
Image artifacts may be visible in the reconstruction sequence
if the collimation area is too small. Use a collimation area
that is larger than would be required for acquiring a static
image.
After the next step, the collimation controls are disabled.
