Patient return to landmark

About this task

Once you have started scanning, you can remove the patient from the magnet bore and then return the patient to the scan position without losing the landmark. This may be done to prep the patient for another phase of the exam, give the anxious or claustrophobic patient a break between acquisitions, etc.

Step-by-step instructions

  1. When the system is in between scans, press the Out button (fast or slow) to bring the patient out of the magnet bore. For table movement details, see:
  2. When the patient is ready to be placed back into the magnet, press the Back to Landmark button.
