The first time image data from a specific (CB)CT scanner and particular scanner protocol are used, a new calibration set must be created. Once this calibration set has been developed it may be used for all patients scanned with this imaging unit. creation of a new calibration set at least every six months or when the imaging unit has been updated, upgraded or had maintenance performed is recommended.
To create a new calibration set:
1. Click New in the Calibration Set group on the Scanner tab of the My Office module.
2. The Create Calibration wizard is started.
3. Load the calibration DICOM files. These are the files resulting from the scan of the calibration object.
4. Calculate the calibration settings.
6. Save the calibration set.
7. The calibration set figures in the list of scanner calibration sets.
