0:02

Hi fellows.

0:03

This is a quick video to show you tips for viewing and reporting of your pet

0:07

imaging cases. Let's open up this first study.

0:13

First, we'll need to add two important tools to your toolbar toolbar.

0:17

If you don't already have them, go to settings toolbar.

0:22

You'll look here along the side for volume,

0:26

which we'll click and drag to our toolbar as well as ellipse.

0:32

Click save and then close,

0:36

and your case should automatically reopen with those tool with those tools at

0:40

the top after they download.

0:43

You can see here that we have attenuated corrected image. We have C,

0:47

not in contrast cts, and we have perfused, axial coronal,

0:51

and sagittal series.

0:53

You will not be able to calculate the max s u v on these prefuse series,

0:56

and you'll have to create your own.

0:59

After they've downloaded click and drag the CT over.

1:02

You'll get this notification that it is fusion capable.

1:06

So then you're gonna be able to click and drag your attenuated corrected images

1:09

on top. You can adjust your overlay as much or as little as you want to,

1:15

and then you'll be able to scroll through them as a fuse series.

1:20

This first tip is how to calculate a max s u v.

1:23

So let's say we want to calculate the max s u v of this pulmonary nodule here.

1:28

We'll click ellipse.

1:30

We will click and drag and form our r O I over that nodule,

1:35

and we get a max s u v of 3.45 for this nodule,

1:38

which you'll include in your report.

1:42

The next trick I'm gonna show you is how,

1:44

how to make A three D MIP rotating mip.

1:47

You'll do this by using your attenuated corrected images or non attenuated

1:50

corrected images.

1:52

We'll click volume and it'll automatically create that volume here.

1:57

Click MIP to MIP it, and then you can change the um,

2:02

invert. You can invert the images by going to pallet invert,

2:06

and then to rotate them,

2:07

just click rotate and you'll be able to rotate your images as much as you want

2:11

to. Rotation, I'm sorry.

2:14

And here you can see that you have your three D rotating nips here.

2:19

Hope this was helpful.
