or when the collimator is turned. This allows the system to provide a shuttered image on the viewer
regardless of where the collimated image edges lie on the receptor.
The Optima XR646 is able to detect collimation edges present in an x-ray radiograph. This allows the sys-
tem to provide a shuttered image on the viewer.
In the event of incorrect automatic shuttering, the image can be recovered by manually re-shuttering the
image to visualize the desired anatomy and then re-processing with the same look.
Re-process Images
Image re-processing allows the system to extract more information from an already acquired image by
changing the processing settings instead of taking additional exposures.
Re-processing can be performed on any image that has a corresponding raw data set. Images can be re-
processed both in live exams and in review mode.
Re-processing creates a new image in the “PROCESSED” series.
Note:
When closing an exam or closing patient in review mode, you must select to save changes to
images or the re-processed images will not remain in the series. Refer to
for more information.
The initial image processing is determined by the default that is configured for the protocol. Refer to
Chapter 15: Preferences-Image Processing (p. 15-49)
