Pre- Dose Measurement frame – This option allows patient urine to be counted before
administering radioactive Vitamin B-12. The urine sample collected from the patient
before administration is called the patient blank. It will be subtracted from the post-dose
urine sample to yield net patient counts. This is an important measurement for a patient
who has previously received a radioactive isotope that may be excreted in the urine. It
may be skipped during the measurement procedure.
Normal Range of Excretion Frame – Minimum and Maximum – These numbers will
define a range of values for excretion that can be considered as medically normal. They
are entered as seen fit by the doctors. Out of range results indicate a medical condition
and will be flagged in the report. Entering these values is optional.
2. To input new values in any frame, click in the appropriate text box or radio button or use
the Tab key to move from one selection to another.
3. Select the Done button to save changes or select the Cancel button to discard the
changes and return to Figure 10-2 Schilling Test Main Screen.
• The Standard Dilution, Urine Sample Aliquot and Counting Time fields appear
again while adding a patient for a Schilling Test procedure. Any changes made on the
Add Patient screen will override the default values entered in the Setup.
• For greater flexibility, set the Pre-Dose Measurement to Yes and Repetitions to 2,
as these additional steps may be skipped if desired, while performing the
measurements.
• To return to previous screen without saving changes press the ESC key.
