Region Of Interest; region of a CT image which can be defined with
respect to position, size and shape, and in which quantitative
evaluations are performed.
Plane in which the X-rays penetrate the patient's body.
Defines all steps of an examination and the sequence in which they
are performed, for example, Topogram, Tomogram,
Pause,Tomogram. The scans included are preset with specific
parameter settings. Scan protocols are available for different body
regions, for example, head and abdomen. Predefined scan protocols
are provided by Siemens Healthineers or you can create your own.
Volume to be covered by the scan.
The image area of the screen is subdivided into segments. Each
segment displays an image or an image stack.
All images of a scan or of an image processing operation are
assigned to a series.
Series of the same examination are combined into one study. In case
of multi-study examinations (multiple examination requests sent via
HIS/RIS to the CT) every requested procedure, for example,
examination of abdomen and pelvis, defines a separate study.
Smaller cards on the task cards; used for setting parameters, calling
up functions and tool boxes, for example, the Tools subtask card.
The main
syngo
applications are set up as task cards, accessible via
the tabs on the right-hand side of the screen, for example, the
Viewing task card.
Scan of a slice perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the patient.
Frontal or lateral survey scan, similar in appearance to a
conventional X-ray exposure. Base for planning the tomogram.
Display of a selectable portion of the CT values using the optimized
contrast range of the monitor.
