3.2. Preparing Cases to Be Scanned
Use this procedure to create a stack of cases to be scanned.
1
Place a separator sheet on top of each film case.
0000009896
Write the last four digits
of the separator sheet
barcode number on each
patient’s file (optional).
Place small films (18 × 24)
in portrait orientation,
large films (24 × 30) in
landscape.
Creating a Stack of Cases
Important! It is critical that ImageChecker users keep the separator sheet with the
films until after the radiologist has read the films and CAD results.
2
Create a neat stack of films and separator sheets. Observe the following guidelines.
•
Put small-film cases at the top of the stack, mixed-film cases in the middle, and
large-film cases on the bottom.
•
If the number of films in the case does not match any of the defined scanning
protocols, use the Any protocol.
•
Use the correct number of films per case, as specified by the selected scanning
protocol.
•
If you plan to scan with the Auto protocol, you can use from one to four films, as
long as they have supported lead markers and are from the four standard views
with no duplicate views. You can arrange the films in any order and in any
orientation. See ‘
3.3. Scanning with the Auto Protocol ’. Load only the four
standard views with no duplicates.
•
If you plan to scan with a Manual protocol, you must arrange the films exactly as
defined by the desired scanning protocol. See ‘
3.4. Scanning with a Manual
Protocol ’.
•
If you plan to use the Any protocol to scan a special case (one that doesn’t
conform to any available scanning protocol), then see ‘
3.5. Scanning with the Any
Protocol ’.
Note: If you make a mistake when preparing a case for scanning, you can correct it
after scanning is complete via the Image Correction screen. See ‘ 3.10. Correcting
Scanned Images ’ for more information.
