When the c
alibraon factor is accepted, the system progresses automacally to the Analysis task.
NOTE Auto calibraon is available if the appropriate image aributes in the selected series (source
image distance, source object distance, and image plane pixel spacing) did not change during
acquision. If you choose auto calibraon in this case, ensure that the region of interest is in
the isocenter.
10.5.2 Select Series Task
You use the Select Series task to select an image series for analysis.
NOTE Only XA exposure images can be used for analysis.
NOTE Series with image pixel sizes greater than 0.225 mm for QCA and greater than 0.4 mm for
QVA are subopmal for analysis.
NOTE You can decrease the detector eld size or decrease the frame speed to obtain smaller pixel
sizes.
1 Click Select Series in the task panel.
2 Select the desired image series in the Select Series dialog box and click Select to open the series.
10.5.3 Calibraon Task
To allow accurate measurement during analysis and to ensure that measurements are displayed in
relevant units, the image must be calibrated.
NOTE You can congure default sengs for calibraon using the Customizaon screen. For details,
see Changing Default Calibraon Sengs (page 183).
You can perform calibraon automacally or manually using the Calibraon task.
Condions
For accurate manual calibraon, follow these guidelines:
• Posion the calibraon object close to the posion of the anatomy under invesgaon.
• Choose a calibraon object of intermediate size (a few cenmeters) for opmal accuracy.
For manual catheter calibraon, follow these guidelines:
• Use a radiopaque catheter.
• Use a lled catheter to improve detecon.
• Use catheters for calibraon that are at least 6 French. Catheters below 4 French are not supported.
• Ensure that the external catheter size as provided by the manufacturer is accurate.
Ensure that the image quality is good and that the contrast between the calibrang object and the
background is good.
Automac Calibraon
2D-QA can calculate the calibraon factor automacally if the required informaon is available in the
image series.
