How to Create your own
Scan Protocols
User-specific scan protocols can be saved with the
following basic procedure:
• Register a test patient, patient position must be
head-supine.
• Select a scan protocol.
• Set the table position to 0 (either at the gantry panel,
or on the topogram routine card).
• Modify the scan protocol, change parameters, add
new ranges etc.
• Do not load the scan protocol.
• Select Edit/Save Scan Protocol in the main menu.
• Select the organ region and the scan protocol name
in the pop-up dialog. You can either use the same
name to modify the existing scan protocol, or enter
a new name.
Tips:
– It is recommended that you save your own scan
protocol with a new name in order to avoid over-
writing the default scan protocol.
– You may use preceding numbers (e. g. 1_Abdomen)
for user specific scan protocols to make them appear
on top of the list and to distinguish them from the
Siemens defaults.
– Do not use special characters like “/“, “.“ or “\“ within
scan protocol names.
– Don’t rename scan protocol files on Windows NT
level – this will lead to inconsistencies.
– Do not mix head and body scan protocols: e. g. do
not save a head mode in the abdomen directory.
– System/Run offers the tool “Restore Default Scan
Protocols“ which allows one to remove user specific
scan protocols and to restore the Siemens default
settings.
