Coil Warnings - Protocol Was Fixed
If you see warning messages while scanning, please read the message and address the
issue. DO NOT just click “OK”. Ask a tech for help if you are uncomfortable with
resolving the issue on your own. Please be vigilant, as we do not refund scans for this
type of issue.
Main Reasons for Coil Warnings
1. The coil wasn’t plugged at all or properly
2. The subject was registered and the protocol was loaded into the exam card before
plugging in the coil
Anterior or Posterior Protocol Fixed Warning Messages
1. The pop up message will let you know that it is turning off
the elements that are not plugged in properly
2. If you click “OK”, you will be approving this change and
you will lose signal from that part of the coil
3. Data collected in the manner will be suboptimal and most
likely unusable
Resolution
1. Check the coil plugs
2. Reseat the plug if necessary
3. Make sure the LCD screen displays the anterior and
posterior elements
4. Close your subject
5. Re-register the subject
6. Try again

your subject

The message will let you know that it is changing
the coil to the one you put on the scanner bed
