2.1 The DPX-IQ Interface
Like most computer-based systems, the DPX-IQ uses a computer monitor and
keyboard to interface with the program. During the program, the computer monitor
shows options that let you operate the program. To operate the program, use the
keyboard to select an option—in this manual, the term “select” is the act of pressing a
key to operate the program.
2.1.1 Options Screen
When you start the LUNAR program, an options screen is shown (figure 2-1). The
options that follow are shown for each scan type (AP Spine, Femur, Total Body, and
so on). Select one of these options:
#
Scan Patient to scan a patient.
$
Analyze Scan to analyze a patient scan file.
%
System Quality Assurance to complete a system quality assurance test.

patient files and change the default database directory. Refer to section 2.6.
