New Features
• Faster workspace: The workspace is faster than the previous version and allows you to open a new study, Plan
on Surview, and open offline recon instantaneously.
• New thickness in Helix mode: The new thickness of 0.7 mm is derived from 2 x 0.6 collimation. This is only
available in 0.75 pitch.
• Add recon behavior with Axial and Helix:
NOTE In Helix, this is only the case when the recon mode is Concurrent
— If the add recon Shift/FOV/Length is the same as in the Main Recon:
When updating the main scan, the add recon updates according to the main Shift/FOV/Length
— If the Add Recon Shift/FOV is different than the Main Recon:
When updating the main recon, shift and FOV of the Add Recon remains as originally planned
— When shortening the main recon and the add recon is planned with offset, offsets are deleted first. After no
offset exits, the reconstructed area is shortened.
— When elongating the main recon and the add recon is planned with length offset, the offset from the start/end
position will remain the same. The reconstructed area of the additional recon will be longer.
• DDC Artifacts problem was fixed: (DDC rings.)
• 4 X 4.5 Collimation on CCT: This collimation is now possible on all models. Available only in Single mode.
• New Adaptive Filter: The new adaptive filter enables reduction of the pattern noise (streaks) in non-
homogeneous bodies.
In asymmetrical objects, readings of lower signals contribute higher noise, while readings with higher signals
make only minor contributions to the total noise. The adaptive filter processes a small amount of the readings,
i.e., those that contribute the highest noise. These readings are filtered and their noise is reduced. The result is a
reduction of the image pattern noise, with only a minor degradation in the resolution.
• Prefetch: Also known as “Pre. Study”. Clicking the Prefetch button in the patient data dialog (enabled only when
ID field is not empty) opens the Archive manager in a special retrieve history mode displaying only the specific
patient (determined by ‘Patient ID’).
— When OK is clicked, a dialog with destinations is opened allowing the operator to select the destination
device(s) to which the selected images should be sent. The selected device and selected destinations are
‘remembered’ in the next Pre. Study activation (if OK was used and not Cancel).
• Classify Protocols Utility: Improved workflow.
— Moved Edit menu into the Edit List tab.
— Moved File and Use classification menu into flow buttons.
The program remembers changes made in columns width in the ‘Classify protocols’ utility.
• Improved Analysis Workflow Button. When clicking the Analysis button in the workflow bar, the Post-
processing Applications list opens below the Analysis button (similar to a menu) instead of changing the toolbox
content as was implemented in Version 1.0.
• Improvement in Slab Viewer: The following improvements were made in the Slab Viewer:
— The Film button was added.
— The Quit button was added.
• Improved “Examination flow” Dialog Box (previously “Stop /Pause”): The Examination Flow dialog box has
the following new features/changes:
— Removed the Patient moved and Plan on Surview buttons. Patient moved was not used. Instead, open a
new study. Plan on Surview was replaced by Plan scan on the workflow bar.
— Added Length and Position in mm in addition to the existing ‘start at slice #’ and ‘No. Of slices’.
• Generate Exam Protocols – The generate exam protocols now has a Drag and Drop option for changing the
order of protocols.
— Windows-like Drag and Drop allows you to change the position of the protocol buttons within each group.
— There are two modes (toggled via radio buttons):
Select – to select protocol for editing (like in V1.0)
Change order – where Drag and Drop is enabled but selecting is not enabled
— Improved Patient Data and Exam Protocols windows:
Exam protocols - Small buttons. Clinical Images have been removed to save space.
New “Comments” field (the old “Patient comment” field was removed)
• Patient data: The first field to be completed can be configured, either manually or automatically, by the Bar Code
Reader. It can either be “Patient ID” or “Accession number”.
• Utilities Menu was reorganized. Several application names were changed and moved from mx user to
mxservice.
• Changes in Service tools:
— The bug report now takes less than 50% of the time that it used to take.
— The service banner can be hidden by clicking on it.
• Dual monitor support (according hardware configuration).
Open Issues
• MCU error 24 occurs during Axial range.
• Storage Commitment failure - do not configure the node with Storage Commitment.
• Images are displayed wih a rotation of 1°.
• Cardiac: If the ECG Viewer is not shown, click the Windows key ( ) and click on the ECG Viewer
minimized application.
• Cardiac: Do not use 4 x 6 collimation.
• If a Dual Surview scan is paused in the middle, it is not possible to scan another surview until a new study is
opened.
• If clicking on the Archive, HIS/RIS, Schedule, or Catalog doesn’t open the application, check that the
application is not already open and minimized by clicking on the Windows key ( ).
• Offline Reconstruction on more than one Raw does not work; execute Offline Reconstruction on one Raw each
time.
• On the Examination Flow window, when “Start Position” is changed, Slice counting starts from ONE and not as
shown on the Examination flow.
• When the Archive Manager is open and you want to open a Post Processing application, use the Processing
menu on the Archive Manager and not the Analysis menu.
• Every scanner has to have a printer defined (through user config) whether it is used or not. If a printer is not
defined the system will eventually crash.
• After opening Voice Manager application in order to record a new voice set, make sure that the Microphone is not
muted in the Volume Control of Windows XP. If it is, clear it. This should be done every time the Voice Manager
application is started.
