Get Mcw Ct Sim Spine Checklist 2018-2025

The MCW CT SIM Spine Checklist is a crucial document for ensuring accurate and thorough patient setups in spine-related imaging. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help users fill out the checklist efficiently and correctly online.

Follow the steps to successfully complete the MCW CT SIM Spine Checklist.

1. Press the ‘Get Form’ button to access the MCW CT SIM Spine Checklist and open it in the editor.
2. Begin by entering the patient's name and RT number at the top of the form.
3. In the Therapist Setup section, confirm whether prior images have been reviewed in PACS. If a rescan is needed, ensure MIM is used to determine GTV extent.
4. Re-zero the lasers and couch coordinates to align accurately with the scan reference point before beginning patient setup.
5. Remove any organ shielding for the topogram. Make sure to acquire the lateral (LAT) topogram and check that the patient is centered vertically in the bore. If they are not centered, adjust accordingly and re-acquire the LAT topogram.
6. Acquire the anterior-posterior (AP) topogram and perform the Field of View (FOV) check.
7. Use the 'FH CT Sim FOV Check' MIM workflow to determine the largest patient diameter.
8. In the Planning CT Prescription section, ensure the superior/inferior slice coverage extends GTV by 10 cm, and confirm that the prescription does not extend outside the topograms. If it does, re-acquire the topograms.
9. Click the Adjust button to set the CAREDose as specified.
10. For the Planning CT Reconstruction, set the iMAR preset according to the table provided. If the patient diameter exceeds 50 cm, adjust the HD FOV size to match the diameter.
11. Copy the iMAR and HD FOV settings to recon job 2. If a rescan is performed, append the text "RESCAN" to the reconstructed series description.
12. Post-scanning, ensure all necessary images and information are present. Screen reconstructed planning CT images for any clipping issues.
13. Follow the 'FH CT Sim' MIM workflow for scan reference setup.
14. Finally, save any changes made, and download, print, or share the completed form as needed.
