According to the “IEC60601-1-1:2000”, devices installed in the patient environment are restricted to “electric medical devices conforming to IEC60601-1”.

The Control PC, operation unit, and the magnetic card reader, etc. options that are parts of the CXDI-C3S are classified under the data processing device standard (IEC60950), therefore these items should not be installed in the patient environment. Otherwise the Control PC is only classified in CXDI-C3S.

The patient environment described below is an example cited from the “IEC60601-1-1:2000” – the measurements are only guidelines. However, the “IEC60601-1-1:2000” example must be treated as the standard.

Therefore, the CXDI-C3S must be installed in a location further than the measurements below (outside of the patient environment).

*Areas where the patient moves (not only during imaging but when entering and leaving

the room, etc.) are also considered as part of the patient environment, therefore the installation location should be determined upon consultation with the user regarding areas outside of the patient environment.

Example of patient environment

Note: The measurements are only guidelines.

CXDI-50G

Change of the image read-out method from the sensor was made to the former CXDI-50G. In the former CXDI-50G, Aux. Shift Register Driver (PCB-D-EP), Scanner with Main Scanner Driver (PCB-50A) and A/D Conversion (PCB-50AD) are located in the both sides of LANMIT. One panel is considered as two virtual panels, and image data was read out from both sides. However, in new CXDI-50G, Aux. Shift Register Driver (PCB-D-EP), Signal Read-out Circuit (PCB-50A) and the A/D Conversion (PCB-50AD) are located in one side of LANMIT and the image data was read from one side. Since the appearance of new CXDI-50G is the same as that of the former CXDI-50G, they are identified

by changing the serial number of the main unit.

CXDI-50C

Fluorescent substance of CXDI-50G has been changed to CsI from GOS in CXDI-50C so that the CXDI-50C can be ranked as the more superior performance model (high sensitivity model) than CXDI-50G. The read-out method of image data is read-out from both sides of LANMIT which is same as CXDI-50G.

Remove the 5 screws from the back of the power box and the 2 screws on each side at the bottom of the power box.

Also remove screws on the

(2) Check the jumper pin settings on the PWB-40XRAY board in the power box. The power

supplies for 7m and 3m are not compatible due to having different output voltages. This short pin is for determining the power, not for changing the voltage.

50 power unit setting 50 Power（7m）: Short between JP1 6-8p 50 power（3m）: Short between JP1 7-8p This setting is done when shipping

With changing the jumper pin settings, the signal sent to PLD (IC1) of the PWB-40XRAY board has either state High or Low. By using this state, the PBIF50XRAY PLD code which written in the PLD can distinguish whether the power supply is for 3m or 7m.

The Imaging unit determines the cable length based on the dip switch setting (SW1-7: OFF) on the PWB-50Di board. If cable connector P4 #1-#2 is open, cable length is 7m. If #1-#2 is connected, cable length is 3m.

Perform the following sequences when starting up and shutting down the system.

5.2.1 Sequence for Starting up the System

Perform the following sequence when turning the system power on.

If you do not perform the correct sequence, the imaging unit cannot be recognized, resulting in an error. (This is because the system communicates with the imaging unit when turning the system on.)

The power box cannot be turned on in conjunction with turning on the control PC.

Since the power box is equipped with a remote switch that turns on/off the secondary output, you can install the switch on your side to turn it on/off.

1) Turn on the main power of the power box.

2) Turn on the remote switch of the power box.

3) Turn on the control PC.

Note:

Ccrstart.bat should be registered in Windows Startup.

5.2.2 Sequence for Turning the Power off (Shutdown)

1) From OPU, select SYSTEM → [SHUTDOWN] or [SHUTDOWN after transfer]

The control PC automatically turns off.

2) Turn off the remote switch of the power box.

5.3.2 Signal names and functions in the connection with the X-ray generator

<X-ray Sync Signal>

Signal name Functions

X-ray exposure signal

Indicates that an X-ray exposure is ordered at the X-ray generator side.

RX_REQ

RX_COM

This signal needs to be retained at least for T X-ray release signal (RX_COM) is not output if the T period. It takes about 1 second in the worst case scenario before the operation can be resumed when RX_REQ is negated in this period. Time required to assert RX_COM after receiving the RX_REQ from the X-ray generator

....................................................................... min.300 ms

PREP

Since a captured image is read from the sensor when RX_REQ is negated (or RX_COM is time out) as a trigger, reading action is delayed if RX_COM does not negate and time out is used as the trigger, resulting in delay of image display timing.

We recommend using a configuration in which RX_REQ is negated.

Time required from X-ray exposure completion to negating RX_REQ

RX_REQ_NEG

............................................................min.0 max.100ms

* Image display timing is delayed if this is not fulfilled.

X-ray release signal

Checks whether or not imaging is ready at the CXDI side after receiving X-ray exposure signal (RX_REQ) from the X-ray generator. This signal is output to the X-ray generator side when imaging is ready.

5.4 Network Settings 1

1. Objective

The CXDI-50G/50C imaging part communicates with the control PC by using Ethernet [IEEE802.3u (100Base-TX)] to transfer X-ray images.

The control PC performs DICOM transfer in order to use Ethernet to transfer the obtained images to the printer and storage device.

This section describes how to set up the TCP/IP that is necessary for the network connection.

Set up the following three items:

1) TCP/IP setting for the control PC network card

2) Network setting for Screwcap.ini

3) Network setting stored in the CXDI-50G/50C sensor

2. Preparation

If DICOM Modality LUT OD is enabled,

set appropriate options to suit each output destination.

Argument: Values necessary for executing a function, subroutine, procedure, or other operation is passed to them. Arguments are assigned to functions and subroutines when executed. For example, the argument in f (x) is x. PDU: Protocol data unit The types of PDU’s include get-request, get-next-request, get-response, set-request, nd trap.

Note

For details about the “-v” parameter, see “Checking the Error Log”.

Note

The parameters “-v” and “-d” put the log on the console. Therefore, be sure to always erase these parameters before operation by the user.

If –k:DICOM Modality LUT OD is enabled, set appropriate options to suit each output destination.

1: Delete Window Center/Width 2: Delete Window Center/Width and Rescale Intercept/Slope/Type 3: Delete Rescale Intercept/Slope/Type (compatible with releases up to Ver.4.20)

Other than a loadable LUT or γ=1.0 has been specified with the output destinationspecific LUT function. For storage: Specify -k3(or -k2). If IMG Rescale Type = 0D is unidentifiable to storage, resulting in an error: Specify -k3. (If only one storage is connected, simply set DICOM Modality LUT OD to "Disabled.") The implementation allows Window Center/Width with Rescale Type = 0D specified to be interpreted as "optical densityx1000." For storage: Specify -k1. The CXDI Window Center/ Width output value (implementation) is fixed at 2048/4096.)

Note

With AGFA impax Ver. 4.5.0, the specification of -k0 demonstrated a successful densityintensity conversion. But because the corresponding text in the DICOM specifications document is ambiguously written such that the status of implementation by other manufacturers is unknown, please be advised to consult the storage manufacturer for each connection destination or work out on a trial and error basis. Also note that an external storage option specification (if (DICOM modality LUT OD is set to "Enabled," OD tags <0028, 1052 - 1054> are assigned and Level: 0 is assumed) is not supported.

79 µm x 4090 x 5120 (value after passing through the print spooler)

• The above settings are the size of the effective area when the image passes through the print spooler and the image is plotted up to the annotation area. In other words, these settings do not display an annotation area, instead handling it as an image area.

• If the data is transferred without setting [Image creation in CXDI], the Requested Image Size setting is used in DICOM. In this case, the annotation area is automatically displayed in the 2180 printer. As a result, a maximum image area of 79 µm x 4090 x 4996 must be designated. In this case, the CXDI relies on the 2180 for image rotation (Film Orientation), but images larger than 1.7 MB cannot be rotated by the 2180. Therefore, operation without the setting for [Image creation in CXDI] cannot be performed in the 2180. (Although operation is possible by setting Requested Image Size only for using DICOM without the setting for [Image creation in CXDI], this option is not installed in the CXDI.)

• Although the resolution of the printer itself is 79 µm x 4090 x 5260, this complete resolution cannot be used when the image passes through the spooler.

When “_” is used in AE Title, the association is

rejected.

Use the Disable function for N-EVENT-REPORT to

disable this setting.

The FilmSize parameter can be used. The MediaType

(BLUE, CLEAR) parameter is also supported.

• Although the Film Orientation parameter is supported up to 1.7 MB, in actuality, DR images cannot be rotated. Like the DryView8700, the images must be rotated by the CXDI side.

• When Requested Image Size is expanded, the maximum plotting size is limited (79 um x 4090 x

4996) so that the annotation area can be obtained. When a Requested Image Size expansion error occurs, the image is interpolated and printed at the suitable size. In this case, the error does not return to the CXDI side. For example, the image is printed at 310 mm even if 326 mm is designated.

• If an expansion error occurs in the spooler when Multi Display Format is used, the print queue cannot be processed.

• The system is in a critical state when a Failure status is indicated. A user message is displayed indicating this state, and images are no longer transferred. (Fully installed)

• During the Warning status, image transfer is performed while the user message is displayed (Fully installed).

• If operation is aborted due to an error, a new association could not be established when the data was resent from the CXDI. GW was reset to recover the error.

• Inserting annotations in the image can lead to problems at the hospital. In the QCW, use annotations that are outside of the image.

• The designated film size is 11 x 14 inch film, and automatic selection of the magazine and printing has been confirmed.

• Annotations in the image are problematic in the US and EU. Thus, although DICOM annotation was used, it was not printed. Although annotation can be transferred without any errors in DICOM, an annotation error occurred in the log when transferring from the gateway to the 2180, and printing was not performed. Data was transferred from KCR to the validation tool, and the DICOM transfer method was compared to CXDI. However, the only differences were in the image size, aspect ratio, and annotation position.

• Although the annotation position is 1 in terms of conformance, it is 0 as sent from KCR. The result did not change even after the change.

Equipment Restrictions on connections

Kodak Miil

Fujitsu Dr. ABLE

Hitachi

Transmitting the 0019 shadow group causes a failure, and the group is not received properly with the default. Its reception is enabled by setting the strictValidation parameter to Off in Miil.

y Transmission is currently performed with the “1 study multi series/1 series 1

image” setting. However, since a multi format is used for the screen displays for each series under the Dr.ABLE specifications, the switching operations are a hassle. The user will find it more convenient if it is at all possible to change the setting to “1 study 1 series/1 series multi image.” (These unusual data specifications were requested with the full understanding of their unusualness.)

y With DICOM, the body parts (such as the abdomen and head) and their directions

(such as PA and AP) belong to the series information. It therefore follows that a different series is required for a different body part or body part direction. This aspect is restricted by the DICOM standard rather than by the installation and other steps taken by us. To put it the other way around, multiple images with different body parts and their directions cannot be put together as a series. To remedy this problem, devising a way of enabling the viewers to reference different series at the same time at some future point in time will be helpful.

Concerning the Dry View 8700 (reference)

LUT (Lookup Table)

• Image adjustment parameters that can be changed by users

Density : This can be set up to the maximum density of 3.1D.

Contrast : This can be set from 1 to 15.

• Image adjustment parameters that cannot be changed by users

Lookup tables called TFTs (Transfer Function Tables) are provided internally, and changes can be made only in the service mode.

Fifteen types of characteristic curves are registered in one of these TFTs, and users can change one of these curves as the contrast.

Over 30 TFTs are registered in the printer, and a name is allocated to each one.

For instance, 15 types of linear straight lines are registered in the TFT called “WRKST2A.”

By setting this WRKST2A TFT, adjustments can be made by combining 15 types of linear straight lines (which cannot be changed by users) with 15 types of characteristic curves (which can be changed by users).

Concerning connections

Two types of the Dry View 8700 are available.

• Dry View 8700 Plus

The 8700 Plus is a printer which can be connected to two diagnostic units. When used in combination with the 8800 multi input manager, it can be connected to up to eight diagnostic units. Images are processed as described above.

• Dry View 8700 Dual

It is possible to connect two 8700 Dual units to the 8800 multi input manager. By using these in combination, up to seven diagnostic units can be connected. The 8700 Dual does not come with image processing functions

(11) Linearity Check of Transfer Image Density

1) Purpose

An SMPTE image is used to check whether the density linearity of the image printed out by the printer and the image displayed on the high-definition monitor matches the density linearity of the image transferred by the CXDI.

2) Notes

2-1) This checking procedure should be performed before the procedure in the section of

“Operation Unit Gamma Correction”.

2-2) The adjustment and checking procedures below should be completed before

performing this procedure.

A) The printer and high-definition monitor connections and setting adjustments

should be completed. The printer and monitor image output settings should be set to LINEAR.

For example, if the KODAK MLP190 is connected, the printer parameter “-S configuration” must be set to “-S CS000”. For other printers, refer to “Printers and Parameter Examples Reference” in “Network Connections”, and set so that the curve shape is 0 (density linear).

B) Be sure to calibrate the printer and high-definition monitor units separately before

performing this procedure.

C) When the imaging screen is “tray type”, change it to “category type” by selecting:

System Æ SETUP MENU Æ CUSTOMIZE DISPLAY.

3) Rough adjustment

3-1) Start up the CXDI system.

3-2) Using the two knobs at the rear of the operation unit, adjust the brightness and

contrast of the touch panel screen for optimum visibility.

3-3) On the exposure screen, select the exposure mode “SMPTE” and wait until “READY”

appears. [Fig. 1]

[Fig. 1]

- 69 -

Page 87

2. Installation Manual

3-4) Press the exposure switch on the X-ray generator, and after the exposure, press the

END STUDY button. Transfer the SMPTE pattern image to the printer or the highdefinition monitor. [Fig. 2]

[Fig. 2]

3-5) Measure the densities of the 11 locations (0% to 100%) of test image grayscale on the

film or on the monitor. [Fig. 3]

* Measure the SMPTE image density on the film is measured using a densitometer.

Measure the SMPTE image density on the high-definition monitor using the gradation analysis software.

As shown in the above graph, the measurement values need only to nearly form a straight line from the minimum density to the maximum density.

The important point here is that the measurement values make a straight line and a maximum density corresponding to the settings is output.

If the measurement values deviate too far from the straight line and a maximum density corresponding to the settings is not output, printer and monitor output linearity settings, calibration, and other adjustments are necessary.

* The above graph is an example of measurements when the maximum density is set to 3.2 D

and the printed film is measured with a densitometer. Refer to the data below when the maximum density is set to 3.1 D, or when gradation analysis software is used to take measurements on the monitor.

* The LINEAR output cannot be set for some printer models.

In this case, try to select an output setting as close as possible to LINEAR.

4-1) As the step (3)-3) above, make the system “READY” by selecting the exposure mode

“SMPTE” on the exposure screen. [Fig. 4]

[Fig. 4]

4-2) On the X-ray generator press the exposure button. After the exposure, adjust the trim

so that the gray scale may be located in the center of the image. [Fig. 5]

* For correct density measurement of the 32-step chart, the gray scale must be printed

in the center of an image to eliminate the shading feature.

* Data may not from a straight line near the minimum and maximum densities due to characteristics of the printer. Rotate the image on the QA screen, and reprint or retake measurements.

(12) Operation Unit Gamma Correction

1) Purpose

This procedure is performed so that the image that is printed out or displayed on a highdefinition monitor conforms exactly to the exposure image on the operation unit.

2) Notes

2-1) The procedure in “Linearity Check of Transfer Image Density” must be completed.

2-2) If image adjustment for the printer or high-definition monitor has not been made, use

the “Gamma Correction Calculation Tool” in order to correct the gamma of high definition monitor image to be a same as printer image.

2-3) Gamma correction is an image correction process for monitors and film. It is different

from the contrast setting or grayscale setting.

This procedure is simply a visual adjustment. As a result, differences may occur depending on the operator performing the procedure. Therefore, be sure to consult with the responsible technician before performing this adjustment.

2-4) To make the gamma of operation unit adjust in detail, use the “Gamma Correction

Calculation Tool”.

3) Preparation

The Option button used in gamma correction is normally hidden. Edit the MenuPara.ini file to display.

3-1) Open MenuPara.ini file.

3-2) Make the following changes, and overwrite the file.

(15) Backing up Setting Data to FD

1) Purpose

“Important setting data (setting information which differs for each customer.)” is backed up to floppy disks and hard disks in consideration of possible setting data loss, hard disk corruption or other data errors.

In the event that setting data is lost or the hard disk is corrupted, this “Important setting data” can be quickly restored to the condition before the trouble occurred by copying from the backup data.

2) Notes

2-1) Performing this backup work means that the CXDI system will be used with the

floppy disk inserted in the floppy disk drive. Be sure to eject the floppy disk from floppy disk drive in order to avoid damaging it, in case of changing the layout or moving the control PC. Likewise, when mounting the system in a vehicle, vibrations may cause damage to the floppy disk drive. Therefore, after backing up the latest data to the floppy disk, be sure to eject the floppy disk.

2-2) Based on the reason in note 1) above, do not perform backups in an environment that

is exposed to vibrations. Therefore, never perform backups when the control PC is loaded in a car. In V4.0 and later versions, the default FD-Buck Up setting is ON. When backup to a floppy disk is not allowed, set it to OFF.

2-3) In the product default settings, “Boot/1. Removable Device” in the system BIOS

settings is set to “Disabled”. However, as a precaution, check that “Boot/1. Removable Device” is actually set to “Disabled”. If the setting is changed to “Legacy Floppy”, the control PC may not start properly when a floppy disk is inserted. For more information, see “System BIOS Settings”

2-4) Be sure to always format the floppy disk that you are using before performing

backups.

2-5) The backup procedure described here covers the case when backing up for the first

time after installation. For the second and subsequent times, data is automatically backed up to the floppy disk whenever the user changes the exposure mode buttons or other settings.

2-6) This backup procedure cannot be performed with just the control PC. Connect the

imaging units and other equipment, and start up in the normal exposure status.

3) Procedure

3-1) Remove the left side cover of the control PC.

3-2) Insert a formatted floppy disk (1.44 MB) in the floppy disk drive.

* Make sure the write protect of the floppy disk is unlocked at this time.

3-3) Reattach the left side cover of the control PC.

3-4) Start up the CXDI system. If you have changed the parameters including the exposure

mode button, back up all “ini.files” to a floppy disk when you restart the system again.

* When you first back up the files, the back up operation may take some time because there are many files to be copied.

3-5) Make sure that all files have been copied and switch off the CXDI system.

The files copied to a floppy disk are the “C:\ccrbup”, and they are the latest backup data. If the data stored in the drive D is damaged and there is no trouble in the drive C, restore the CXDI setting data using the data in “C:\ccrbup”.
