Abstract

Some imagers buy SGP so that they can simplify their imaging sessions. Others buy SGP so they can sleep through the sessions. If you are among the latter, this chapter is for you. In it we look at some of the preparations and precautions one must take with unattended imaging, including equipment, timing, and communications. The key to having a session run all night is the meridian flip, which is discussed in detail in Chapter 14. But let’s take a look at some of the other issues.
