Workflow Information
Recon Planning
During planning of a 3D recon range, the image dis-
played in the FoV segment will be updated to the new
position of the recon start and end position.
The corresponding reference line displayed in both
planning segments is the reference line to the actual
image displayed in the FoV segment.
One click on the start or end position of the recon
range displays either the reference image to the start
position of the recon range or the reference image to
the end position of the recon range in the FoV seg-
ment.
Case Examples
Some scan protocols are supplied with predefined
oblique reconstructions. These protocols are
marked with the suffix "VOL".
• Coronal and sagittal reconstruction of the spine:
– Scan a topogram
– Plan your axial spiral scan range
– Reconstruction of the spiral images (RT images)
– Select Recon job Type sagittal/coronal
– Select the axial image segment
– Press button Set FoV Segment
– Adjust the FoV to your needs
– Define your desired reconstruction parameters
(for example, image type SPO)
– Start reconstruction
– Repeat the reconstruction steps for the other
orientation (sagittal/coronal)
