Auto-FoV
After scanning a topogram the available ranges are dis-
played in the topo segment. They can be automatically
adapted according to the patient contours. When mov-
ing the scan range over the topogram and press the
"ctrl" key simultaneous, the adaptation will be done
automatically. Please make sure, that the whole object
is covered within the default FoV.
In case the FoV is too small, please press the "ctrl" key
and move the scan range over the object once, and it
will be adapted automatically.
The Auto-FoV will also work with the snap function,
when an examination has two or more ranges. The
snap function will also cover the Auto-FoV and there-
fore you have the possibility to merge different ranges.
To be able to use the snap function, it is necessary to
have the same FoV and the same x and y coordinates
for all available ranges.
Do not use Auto-FoV for asymmetric objects (e.g. only
one arm within the scan field).
