Considerations
•
Press <Stop Scan> to stop scans between multiple helical groups and do not press <Stop
Move>.
•
Scan aborts may occur during Scout, Axial or Helical scanning. Always be aware of the scan
progress during an exam and select [Resume] to continue.
•
The scan may fail to confirm, posting a message that not enough image space exists, even
though the disk image space icon indicates there is enough space or File Manager may
not have exams listed.
This occurs because images are stored on the system disk in more than one partition.
Remove consecutive exams to free up image space to confirm and proceed with the scan.

NOTE: If you encounter the message that you need to delete images to be able to scan the
current series, first check the recycle bin and remove images to create space for
scanning, next if scouts have not been acquired, end the exam and start a new exam.
However, if scouts have been acquired, use
Revisit Settings
and prescribe the series
again.
