[Intl_DxMedPhys] PET Count Statistics on new Siemens UI

[Carl Keener]

The Biograph Trinion uses Native software, and there is no access to counts data. Siemens did not include that feature on the platform. Apparently, it isn’t used in Europe, and Siemens didn’t realize that Americans use it until physicists started asking for it.

The raw data can be uploaded to Germany where Siemens can extract the count data, but I did not find that useful. Siemens plans on fixing this in a future software upgrade.

If the platform is like the new Alpha CT or Prospecta scanners, then I don’t know. But I would guess it has to be wherever they moved the ‘Sinogram Header’ stuff to. On our Vision, you find it by (as you said) going in the browser and right-clicking

On the new scanners, I suspect this screen is going to be buried somewhere in the patient browser monitor (right). I would guess that you highlight the series you want there, and open it up under the VIEW & GO. On the Prospecta, you then go to the ‘MI ORGAN PROCESSING’ and it opens up a list, then you click on the DISPLAY icon and it opens up the old Siemens display. The PET might be similar.

Not sure if I am any help at all here.

I’m wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the Total Prompts and Randoms following a PET acquisition on the new Siemens PET/CT platform. It’s a Trinion PETCT, the UI looks like the Go-series CT scanners. They don’t populate the DICOM

They don’t populate the DICOM tags (like older machines) and I don’t see a similar tool to the ones that were accessible in the browser for investigating the raw data files.
