General
Tips
– We recommend the use of the default scan protocols
in order to achieve adequate image quality for the
"typical" patient. Using the default scan protocols
minimizes the occurrence of tube cooling delays and
maximizes x-ray tube life.
– It is recommended that you save your own scan
protocol with a new name in order to avoid over-
writing the default scan protocol.
– You may use preceding numbers (e. g. 1_Abdomen)
for user specific scan protocols to make them appear
on top of the list and to distinguish them from the
Siemens defaults.
– Do not use special characters like "/", ".", "\" or "blank"
within scan protocol names.
– Do not rename scan protocol files on Windows NT
level – this will lead to inconsistencies.
– Do not mix head and body scan protocols: e. g. do
not save a head mode in the abdomen directory.
– System/Run offers the tool "Restore Default Scan
Protocols" which allows you to remove user specific
scan protocols and to restore the Siemens default
settings.
– System/Edit offers save/delete Scan Protocols.
– System/Run also offers the tool "List Scan Protocols"
which generates an HTML table of all available scan
protocols. This list can be printed or saved on Floppy
("File/Save As...").
