4.4.2. Touch Screen
Brivo OEC 865 provides a touch screen on the right monitor for interacting with the Workstation. Using the
touch screen and the keyboard for text-entry you can:
• Enter and view patient information
• View and process images
• Configure the X-Ray switches
• Annotate images
To select a touch screen button, or a field for text-entry, firmly touch the desired object with your finger.
4.5. Image Quality Control
To get optimal image quality and X-Ray dose, ensure the use of default setting by turning on Auto
Contrast/Brightness key and Auto Technique key on C-Arm control panel. In addition, it is generally advised
to position the patient close to the Image Intensifier and to center the region of interest in the imaging field.
To get a stable image, please press and hold the foot/handswitch at least 2 seconds during exposure. In
case the air covers substantial portion of the image, use the shutter collimator and iris collimator to cover
that air portion to minimize the light scatter.
When anatomical thickness changes in region of interest, to get a better image, please stop
X-Ray and center the region of interest in the imaging field, select auto mode and then
restart the exposure.
Refer to the table below for common image quality issues from less than optimal settings, and the
checklists to resolve those issues.
