last step: subject registration

The screen should be mostly empty with a list of pre-queue items in the lower right corner. If it is not, re-enter Patient Registration information

1) On the intercom, advise the subject that he/she will hear a series of loud noises for a period of minutes. Remind the subject to remain still.

---->Warning: Scan will begin after the next step

2) Highlight "Routine" to the right of "Programs" in the upper left of the prequeue box and click the button marked "<<" to load all the scans into the queue and begin scanning. To select particular scans to run, highlight multiple scans (hold control while selecting), and click "<<".

Scans will run until the queue reaches a "working man" icon, or a "flagman" icon

3) Once the first scan (the localizer) is complete, adjust the brain slices so that the indicated yellow boxes enclose as much of the brain as possible.

4) The "working man" and "flagman" icons are pausing points for the sequence of scans. If one comes up, review the information indicated on the pop-up window, and proceed by clicking "Continue," "OK," or "Scan" as necessary. These are useful for parts of a study which require overt subject interaction (e.g., a subject to hold his/her breath or move particular structures at intervals).

At any point, communicate with the patient using the intercom

#2) Highlight
"Routine,"

Then Click "<<"
