6.16.4 XperCT Dual
The XperCT Dual procedure is a dual phase scan that consists of a forward phase and a backward
phase. The acquired images are automacally sent to the Intervenonal Tools workstaon.
Contrast is used during the forward phase of the scan to visualize the arteries. Aer a brief pause,
known as the scan interval, the backward phase is acquired. While the contrast medium has washed
out of the arteries, the lesion holds the contrast medium for slightly longer, allowing the lesion to be
visualized in the backward phase.
For informaon about XperCT calibraon, see XperCT Calibraon (page 263).
NOTE You must be logged on to the Intervenonal Tools workstaon before starng the acquision.
We recommend that you switch the workstaon on and log on at the start of your work
schedule to avoid a delay.
NOTE If the exposure switch is released aer the forward scan, the backward scan is canceled.
NOTE BodyGuards are disabled during image acquision.
