Positioning accessories
D. 3
To avoid danger of injuring the patient during table or gantry
movements, only positioning accessories approved by Siemens
should be used. In this way also artifacts can be avoided which
impair the image quality.(→ Page D.4-1 Accessories for Patient
Positioning)

✧ Replace damaged or worn positioning accessories, espe-
cially if mechanical strength is required.
Radiotranslucency

Positioning aids that are used in the region of interest must be
made of special radiotranslucent material. They are shaped in
such a way that they do not cause any image artifacts.

they do not protrude into the slice plane, if possible.
Cleanliness

✧ Remove all impurities, especially residual contrast
medium, as quickly as possible.(→ Page E.3-1 Cleaning
