6.1 Patient scan
6.1.1 Patient preparation
An important step in a scan routine is well preparing the patient. This can contribute to a proper scanning
and to high quality images.
The aim of such preparing is making the patient relaxed and in a good position before and during the scan.
Here are some suggestions that can help in this concern.
✔
Room setting
Be sure that the scanner unit is clean and ready to scan (
"Daily Check"
and
"Blank Acquisition"
already performed).
✔
Preparing the patient
Ask the patient to remove if present any jewelry (earrings, necklaces), glasses and removable
metallic prothesis.
✔
Accommodating the patient
After accommodating the patient in the patient table, move it in the scan area and adjust the table so
as to frame the interested area and the neck/bust of the patient assumes a correct position.
✔
Explanation of the examination
Please explain in short the scan routine to the patient, including the data collection process, the
positioning and scanning.
✔
Particular patients
A special care has to be taken in case of children, elderly people, claustrophobic people, physically
or mentally disabled.
✔
Proper breathing
Ask the patient to breathe slowly during the scanning (a slow and continuous breath helps from
swallowing).
