About this task
The following scenarios result in automatic post-processing tasks (MIP and MPR) to fail and move the series to an Err state:- If the parent scan sequence from which you want to post-process images generates more than one image per location (for example, a phase image or magnitude image).
- If the parent scan sequence from which you want to post-process images has a prescription of multiple non-parallel slice groups.
- If certain scan parameters (such as FOV, spacing, etc...) do not match between the parent scan and the post-process sequence.
To resolve this issue, post-process the desired scan data by selecting the series from the patient list and select 3DViewer, READY View, MR General Review or Reformat/MIP from the Session Apps list located on the Image Management work area or desktop.
Use these steps to add a post-process task to a series during a scan.
Step-by-step instructions
- Select the active scan session tab.
- From the workflow manager, click a series in any state.
- Click .
- On the Add Post Processing Task screen, click an available post processing task to be applied to the selected scan sequence.
- For example, select a filter or select a diffusion map for a DWI sequence, etc.
- When adding a MIP/MPR post process task, the Spacing value matches the Volume Viewer definition of spacing and not the scan definition of spacing.
- Click Setup.. to launch the post-processing task setup screen.
- To add a task to automatically run, follow these steps.
- From the Setup screen, select Automatic.
- Make desired changes to the screen.
- Click Accept.
The Add Post Processing Task screen closes and "Auto" displays as the Status of the post-process task in the workflow manager.
- To add a task to run manually, follow these steps.
- From the Setup screen, type a task description in the text box that will display in the workflow manager.
- Select Manual.
- Click Accept.
The Add Post Processing Task screen closes and "RxD" displays as the Status of the post-process task in the Workflow Manager.
