Performing the examination

After you have registered the patient for the examination, the Examination task
card appears automatically. Here you can check the default examination parame-
ters. If necessary, you can change the settings in the control area or at the control
panel of the C-arm system.
Individual exposures are released directly at the C-arm system with the hand
switch or footswitch.
If you x-ray a patient without having registered him/her, this patient will have the
status of an emergency patient in the local database.

Examination settings

In the Examination card standard exposure parameters for the medical applica-
tion area Ortho/Trauma are already preset. If these settings are appropriate for
your examination, you can start the exposure immediately on the ARCADIS Varic
( Page 17).
To examine other body regions, you must first select them in the Examination
task card. You can use the Basic display mode if otherwise the standard expo-
sure parameters for the corresponding body region are to be used (
If, however, you want to optimize the examination settings according to your
medical indication, simply call up the required parameters by using the corre-
sponding selection lists. In this case, switch to the Extended display mode
( Page 13).
