Perform a CT Scan
1. In SmartScan STUDIO, select exam entry in scheduled exams list.
2. Press to access protocols.
3. Select desired protocol.
4. Review scan protocol information in header.
5. Position patient for scan. Refer to
Patient Positioning For CT Scans - At A Glance
.
6. Press to continue.
7. Select (scout scan) and press to continue. The scanner initializes.
8. Instruct the patient to hold still, swallow before the scan, take shallow breaths during
the scan and close his/her eyes so as not to follow the gantry during the scan.
9. When prompted, press the
Scan
button on the operator control box.
An audible alarm is sounded and the X-ray ON light is illuminated during radiation
exposure. The scanner acquires the data and creates the images.
CAUTION
If the optional deadman handswitch is installed on the scanner, press and hold
handswitch before pressing the
Scan
button, and continue to hold handswitch down for
the duration of the exposure (
X-ray
light on). Early release of the handswitch stops the
exposure and the
Fault
light turns on. The patient will have to be re-scanned.
10. Review scout image. To ensure the scan captures the entire anatomy desired, the
anatomy should appear within a 1 cm border of the edge of the scout scan. Use
visualization controls as needed.
