Philips Azurion - 6.16 Rotation Scans

When ECG triggering is acv
ated, the system monitors the trigger pulses (also during standby). If for
any reason the trigger pulses are not present for 2 seconds or more, the system message ECG signal
absent is displayed. The system message is removed when the trigger pulses are present again, or
when ECG triggering is deacvated.
NOTE A system message is also displayed 2 seconds aer every trigger pulse, when the heart rate is
less than 30 bpm.
1 Select the X-ray Sengs task.
2 If you are using the acquision window, do the following:
a Click the expander in the control panel relang to the type of procedure you are performing
(Fluoroscopy or Exposure).
If the X-ray protocol you are using supports ECG triggering, the ECG-Triggering expander is
displayed.
b Expand the ECG-Triggering expander.
c To switch ECG triggering on, click On.
3 If you are using the touch screen module, do the following:
a Tap More and select ECG Triggering.
The ECG-Triggering task panel is displayed.
b Tap either Fluoro ECG or Exposure ECG, to switch the desired funcon on.
The system replaces the uoroscopy avor indicaon or the exposure run speed indicaon in
the live window with the ECG indicaon.
NOTE For ‘Single Shot’ procedures, the indicaon in the live window remains as ‘Single
Shot’.
If injector coupling is on, it is automacally switched o.
4 Increase or decrease the Trigger Delay me as appropriate.
The accuracy of the delay me is limited. The selected delay should relate to the current heart rate
of the paent and desired heart rate phase, for example, end diastole or end systole.
5 Iniate uoroscopy or exposure as appropriate for the selected ECG triggering.
The controls on the touch screen module are unavailable during uoroscopy and exposure.
Images are acquired according to the current heart rate of the paent. Aer every R-top of the ECG
signal plus the selected trigger delay, one image is acquired. If another trigger pulse is received
during the delay period, (for example, when the ECG signal is too high) then that trigger pulse is
ignored.
6 On compleon of the selecon or adjustment, tap X to close the task panel.
6.16 Rotaon Scans
Rotaon scans, or 3D-Rotaonal Angiography (3D-RA), are used to acquire a 3D percepon of vessel
anatomy.
Fixed rotaon scans are predened and you cannot alter the start and end posions.
