17. Re-position the arm to acquire the next image.
IMPORTANT!:

Each acquired image is a "sub-image." The system aligns and pastes the sub-images into a single
"composite" image. The pasted composite is one long image that has continuous anatomical content
with the same processing applied throughout.
The following images are stored for the exam and are available for viewing:
•
The acquired raw sub-images in the "RAW" series
•
The processed sub-images in the "PROC" series (1 processed image for each raw image)
•
Any re-processed sub-images and pasted sub-images and pasted composite images in the "PROC"
series
All image zoom, annotation, adjustment tools (brightness, contrast, windowing, rotation, etc.), and re-
processing are available for the pasted composite image and the sub-images. The controls function the
same as for non-pasting acquisitions. Refer to
image adjustment.
The pasted composite image is treated as one image entirely. Image adjustments are applied equally to
the entire pasted composite image.
NOTE: DEI is not shown for pasted composite images.
Paste Images (Create Composite Image)
You create pasted composite images after image acquisition is complete by pressing the [PASTE] button
on the Reprocessing palette (Figure A-15).
NOTE: You can paste images together even if one image from the sequence has been deleted.
