New Guideline:
As we move toward implementing a dynamic queue, we will shift from screening grids per application to a quality control (QC) model for grids submitted for scheduled Krios sessions. The purpose of QC is to maximize Krios collection time by assessing grid quality before the session and finalizing data collection details in a pre-session meeting. This approach aims to streamline Krios collections and communication.
Typical QC session:
The QC workflow begins with generating an atlas of the grid. Then, five exposures are taken from each of ten randomly selected squares, though this process may be adjusted as needed. This sampling should provide enough coverage for users to identify preferred collection areas using the atlas.
Post QC meeting:
Following QC, we will offer a post-QC meeting to review the QC results, discuss data collection strategies, and clarify how users should communicate their areas of interest to the staff. To allow sufficient time for QC and the post-QC meeting, grids should be dropped off 3 weeks before the scheduled Krios session. QC will take place two weeks before the Kris session, with the post-QC meeting occurring the following week with a staff member. To book a post-QC meeting please click here.
