NOTE:
These parameters will have a green box around them when Copy Forward is active.
Graphic Rx for secondary reconstructions will indicate if Copy Forward is “On” with a salmon
colored handle on the graphic object. If the user adjusts the handle, Copy Forward is disabled,
and the handle goes back to the original blue color; the green box is also removed from the text
fields. Alternatively, if the user types in a text field where Copy Forward is enabled, is no longer
outlined in green and the corresponding handle on the graphic object returns to the original blue
color.
Rather than relying on creating additional reconstructions post scan for additional data sets, you
are able to create these sets prospectively. This frees the operator from sitting at the console,
directly contributes to increased productivity, and reduces the opportunity for error.
Secondary reconstructions are assigned series numbers based on the series they are
prescribed in, e.g., in the scenario where Series 2 has three additional secondary
reconstructions, these are listed in the task list display indented from the original series. These
reconstructions become Series 301, 302, and 303 in the exam.
