Foreword
Welcome to the SmartSimulator Workbook! This workbook will

guide you through your lab sessions with MAGNETOM systems
based on XA50 or XA51 in the SmartSimulator. You will have a
maximum of 8 hours with your MAGNETOM SmartSimulator – so
make the most of it, have some fun and explore what it can do.

Exercise
1. In the Patients list area, select

Display list of Procedures to
change the displayed list

Page 11 of 60
Overview: Scheduler concepts
• The Patients list is the worklist

for your daily work and
represents one or more planned
procedures for a registered
patient
• In the Scheduler, change the
patient and procedure data
before you start the examination
• If connected to the RIS, the
acquisition workplace retrieves
data from the RIS at regular
intervals
• Patients list view switch gives
the option to switch between
Patients view and Procedures
view in the Patients list

Page 12 of 60
Exercise
1. Select the Patients list and switch

between:
a) Patients view
b) Procedures view

Page 13 of 60
Patients list options:
a) Patient
• Shows one or more
procedures for a registered
patient
• Shows the available
procedure and patient data
b) Procedures (default)
• List of procedures
• List of patients with
assigned procedures

Continue an examination
Exercise
1. Please perform the following steps

in the Scheduler:
a) Select Filter by Status >
Scanned items
b) Select the patient and
complete the registration
again
2. Select the Patient Browser icon –
defaults to Local Data base
a) Select an existing patient from
the list
b) Right-click and select New
Examination – Generates a
new study

Page 17 of 60
c) Complete and confirm the

registration
d) Select the Patient Browser
icon
e) Select the same patient, right-
click, and select Resume
Examination
f) Complete and confirm the
registration – The study
already examined is resumed
within the same study

Page 18 of 60
Before we proceed with the

patient registration, some
important information about
correcting patient data must
be kept in mind:
• It is possible to change any

patient data before starting the
examination
• Correcting the Height and
Weight attributes only affects
the selected procedure
o If more than one procedure
for the same patient exists,
you must change these
attributes separately for
every procedure
• Correcting attributes that are
used for patient identification by
the Scheduler only affects the
selected procedure
Example: Patient ID
• Constraints on patient data
received from the RIS:
o Only empty fields can be
adapted
o Height and Weight
attributes can be updated,
even if the field has been
filled out in the RIS
Please note: Patient data is only

saved locally if it is updated on the MR
scanner. If the patient data is used

Page 19 of 60
across modalities, change the patient

data in the central information system
(RIS), then refresh the data on the
scanner.
