Verified
What three regions must be present in the Mako CT Scan?
Hip, Knee, Ankle
What piece of equipment is necessary for a Mako CT Scan?
Motion rod
Required thickness and spacing parameters at the knee region for a Mako Knee
CT Scan
0.5 - 1mm
Per Mako CT Scan protocol, the motion rod must be visible in the hip, knee, and
ankle region of the patient CT scan
True
Earliest time before Mako procedure a patient can be scanned
8 weeks
Mako CT Scan is one continuous scan of three regions
True
The pitch should be entered at a 2:1 ratio
False (1:1 ratio)
How should a mako patient be positioned in the CT scanner?
Supine, feet first
The motion rod can be places slightly anterior during the CT scan
True
Thickness and spacing specifications need to be entered at a 1:1 ratio
True
The Mako CT protocol requires 200mm FOV at the knee region
False (250mm FOV)
Mako Knee CT Scan protocol requires three individual scans
False (just need one)
What is the minimum amount of scan that needs to be above and below the distal
femur?
10cm
During segmentation, setting slices on the femur always generates the same
number of slices
False
When segmenting, it is important to include attached osteophytes
True
When setting femoral bounds, ensure the bounds are rotated to align what to
Whiteside's Line?
Parallel
After 3D bone model is generated, corrections cannot be made to segmentation
False
Cadaver scans do not require a motion check
True
If CT scan fails motion check, patient will need to be rescanned
