Setting up for Acquiring CBCT Images
CBCT images are acquired using X-Ray Tube Rad-B.
The CBCT acquisition controls provided by the X-ray image guidance system on the
CBCT console (i.e., the CBCT buttons on the left hand side of the X-ray console)
control the gantry rotation and enable you to acquire CBCT images, as follows:
1. Select one of the preset options (e.g., Head, Thorax, Pelvis, etc.) from the drop-
down menu in adaPTinsight .
2. Select a trajectory and a start angle.
3. Click Load to upload the parameters of the X-ray generator. On the adaPTinsight
screen, the status bar turns green (i.e., Ready).
4. Click Start from the adaPTinsight screen. The green LED on the X-ray console
starts blinking.
5. Press the green button on the X-ray console. The green LED on the X-ray console
stops blinking after a few seconds.
6. The gantry starts rotating automatically to position the gantry at the pre-start
angle, if not already at that angle. From this moment, the system forbids motion
from the hand-pendant(s).
The yellow LED on the X-ray console starts blinking when the gantry has
reached the pre-start position. The gantry is now ready to start CBCT acquisition.
7. While the yellow LED is blinking, press the yellow button on the X-ray console.
The X-ray tube starts taking images while the gantry rotates around the patient.
8. If desired, you can pause the acquisition, in any of the following ways:
Click Pause from the adaPTinsight screen. The gantry will be halted gently.
Press the red button on the X-ray console to stop the rotation. Gantry
motion is stopped abruptly. This should be used in emergency situations
only.
Note: During the rotation, you can press the red button any time to stop the
rotation.
9. The hand-pendant(s) is (are) automatically released by adaPTinsight at the end
of acquisition.
10. Optionally, you can stop acquisition and release the hand-pendant during the
CBCT scan. To do so, press Pause from the adaPTinsight screen.
