Salient Operation Manual
5.12. [Optional] Protocol Assistance Tool (PAT)
This option can only be enabled by an Imaxeon service or sales representative.
The PAT application provides the user with suggested weight based injection protocols for a range of common
CT examinations. It is available only with the optional Remote Control Unit RCU.
The PAT is intended to be used as a guide. It is not intended to replace clinical experience and judgment. The
underlying parameters are based on current, published clinical dosage rates and techniques. It is the responsibility
of the User to assess the patient’s clinical presentation before proceeding with any contrast media injection
protocol.
To access PAT, select the wand icon from the
Action menu
Select the Type of examination:
♦ Routine for chest, parenchymal and portal
venous applications.
♦ CTA for arterial imaging.
♦ [Single Only] There will not be a
saline flush if CTA is selected.
Next select the Area for examination.
PAT lists a number of common scanning regions
depending upon the Type selection.
Toggle through the selection to find the most
appropriate Area.
The Patient icon graphically represents the Area
selected. The patient body icon can also be pressed
directly to select the area.
Select Weight and enter the patient’s weight in kg
using the numeric key pad.
Select Contrast Concentration and enter the contrast
media concentration in mg/I/ml.
A specific concentration can be added by selecting
Other and entering the value via the keyboard.
