Taking Scout and 3D images
NOTICE! It's recommended to have Scout mode enabled by default. If you do not
wish to take a Scout image, deactivate the selection from the GUI.
1. Ensure the correct patient positioning, imaging program selection and that the device is in Ready
state with the indicator light turned green.
2. Ask the patient to stay still during the whole imaging process.
3. Protect yourself from radiation.
4. Press and hold the exposure button down.
5. The device starts to move and an audible exposure warning signal is played.
6. Hold the exposure button down until all movements have stopped.
NOTICE! The device also plays a program end tone when the imaging process is complete.
7. The Scout image appears on the GUI.
8. GUI: Adjust the FOV height, diameter and location using the Scout image, if needed.
NOTICE! You can verify the adjustments by pressing the exposure button to take another
scout image. Scout images produce only a small radiation dose so taking additional scout
images won't produce excessive radiation dose to the patient.
9. GUI: Approve the scout image and proceed to the 3D imaging phase by pressing OK button.
10. Press HOME button on the patient positioning panel. The device moves to IMAGING START position
and locks the device in place to prevent unwanted movement.
NOTICE! This is an optional step but decreases the imaging process time and the time that
the patient must stay still.
NOTICE! The device stays in the IMAGING START position for 1 minute .
11. Ask the patient to stay still until the 3D image has been taken.
