What is the purpose of the Deep Learning Image Reconstruction (DLIR) option?
To remove noise from the image while maintaining a texture consistent with Filter Back Projection image reconstruction.
Who should conduct image quality evaluations before using DLIR?
The site physicist, in collaboration with the radiologist.
What DLIR strength is recommended as a starting point for existing clinical protocols?
Medium.
Can DLIR be prescribed in the same reconstruction series as ASIR-V?
No.
What types of scans is DLIR compatible with?
Axial, Cine and Cardiac Axial, and Helical scans with specific detector collimation settings.
Fill in the blank: DLIR is available for _______ reconstruction prescription only.
secondary
What must be applied when DLIR is used on a Helical scan?
Specific settings based on the scan type.
List the detector collimation settings for Axial scans compatible with DLIR.
- Greater than or equal to 20 mm
List the detector collimation settings for Helical scans compatible with DLIR.
- 20 mm
- 40 mm
- 80 mm
True or False: DLIR is compatible with SmartPrep or SmartStep.
False.
What is the primary goal of using DLIR in imaging?
To enhance image quality by reducing noise.
What is SmartPlan?
A workflow enhancer designed to identify specific anatomical landmarks within a scout image
Which anatomical regions can SmartPlan identify landmarks for?
Head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, multi-chest, abdomen/pelvis
How is the SmartPlan feature enabled?
Through protocol management
What does SmartPlan use to identify landmarks?
The prescribed Clinical Identifier (CID)
What is the purpose of Auto Prescription?
To optimize dose and image quality based on patient size
What does Auto Prescription eliminate?
Multiple size-based protocols
What is a benefit of Auto Prescription?
Quality across a wide range of patient sizes
Fill in the blank: SmartPlan works with _______ to optimize dose and image quality.
Smart mA
What does DFOV stand for?
Display Field of View
True or False: SmartPlan can only be used for single anatomical regions.
False
What do AP Centering and RL Centering refer to in SmartPlan?
Centering techniques for each group
