3D Acquisition Interface Overview

The 3D Acquisition interface for the CS 9600 provides you with 3D imaging acquisition functions.

Figure 9 - 3D Acquisition Interface

IMPORTANT: R indicates that it corresponds to the right side of the patient who is facing the operator.

Program pane and Preview screen - Displays the choice of programs and enables you to choose different radiological exams according to the unit edition that you have.

Selected parameter display - Displays the current acquisition parameter settings:

Patient type - Child, Adult (small, medium, large).
Imaging mode - Imaging mode that you can select before doing an exam (standard, low dose, or High Resolution for 3D).

IMPORTANT: See the CS 9600 Safety, Regulatory, and Technical Specification User Guide (SMA17) for information on radiation protection and recommendations when you select a patient type, especially the pediatric patient.

Exits the acquisition interface.

3D Exposure parameter panel - Enables you to choose and save exposure parameters for the radiological image acquisition.

Acquisition Presets

Acquisition presets - Enables you to select and set (depending on your options) imaging modes and FoVs as default settings.

Scout view 2D - Displays the sagittal slice view of the acquired image.

SmartAuto 3D (optional) - To select it, you must first acquire a Scout view 2D image.

Then click Smart Auto 3D button to display the sagittal and axial slice view of the image.

CS Metal Artifact Reduction (CS MAR) Filter (optional) - Filter to avoid image distortions caused by metal from objects such as prosthesis, screws or dental fillings.

Note: It is recommended that you compare MAR-processed images with the original, unprocessed images.

Advanced Noise Reduction (ANR) Filter - Advanced algorithm that reduces noise in the image and preserves image details. If a patient has previously been examined, the unit will detect it and the icon will appear in orange.

Imaging mode - Imaging mode that you can select before doing an exam (standard, low dose, or High Resolution for 3D).

IMPORTANT: See the CS 9600 Safety, Regulatory, and Technical Specifications User Guide (SMA17) for information on radiation protection and recommendations when you select a patient type, especially the pediatric patient.

Microphone - Enables you to communicate with the patient by clicking it or by pressing on the space bar.

Demo - Enables you to demonstrate the acquisition procedures to a patient without the X-ray.

Accessory notification - Will appear on the interface if you do not use a positioning accessory that corresponds to an acquisition.

Ready indicator:

Black indicates the unit is not ready to start acquisition.
Orange indicates the unit is preparing for acquisition.
Green indicates the unit is ready to start acquisition.

Warning - Indicates that you must consult the accompanying document.

Ionizing radiation:

Warns you about radiation dangers.
Blue indicates the X-ray is enabled.
Grey indicates the X-ray is not enabled.

Menu - Provides access to the following sub-menus: General Settings, DICOM Settings, 2D-3D kV/mA Reset to factory, Quality Check History, Shutdown / Restart, About.
