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

to “electric medical devices conforming to IEC60601-1”.

The Control PC and operation unit are classified under the data processing device standard

(IEC60950), therefore these items should not be installed in the patient environment.

The patient environment described below is an example cited from “IEC60601-1-1:2000” – the

measurements are only guidelines. However, the “IEC60601-1-1:2000” example must be treated

as the standard.

Therefore, the Control PC and operation unit 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: These measurements are only guidelines.

1 General

CXDI-60G/60C represents a compact cassette model that enhances user convenience in cassette­based digital radiography. It is used in combination with Control computer (CXDI-C3, CXDI-C3S,
FC-24VE, FC-E21A or the general computers with equal performance).

The sensor cable is organized into two parts. The one is a sensor cable S150-60 (imaging unit side)
and the other is a sensor cable P630 (power box side). Two cables are connected with the connectors.
It adopts the detachable connector, which is compatible with the CXDI-55G/55C, allowing the use
of two sizes portable flat panel detector.

The vertical scanning drive (Drv-IC) and the data read out (Amp-IC) are located in one side of
LANMIT. Image data is read out from one direction.

The appearance of the CXDI-60G is almost the same as that of the CXDI-60C, but their fluorescence
substances that convert X-ray into visible light are different.

2. Installation

1 Caution During the Installation

Please pay attention to the followings when installing the system.

(1) If the equipment is hoisted, lowered or transported, it must be supported at both sides by a

minimum of two people so there is no danger of it falling.

(2) When installing the equipment, be sure the site meets the following criteria:

1) There must be no dripping water in the area.

2) The environment must be free of harmful elements such as humid or acidic air, air with

a saline or sulfur content, where there is poor ventilation or where air pressure or
temperature is unusual.

3) The equipment must not be placed at an angle or subjected to vibration or shock (this

includes during transportation).

4) The equipment must not be kept where chemical products are stored or where gasses are

generated.

5) The site’s power supply must be of the correct voltage and frequency for the equipment.

6) The site must be connected to a fully earthed cable with sufficient ground resistance to

meet standard values.

(3) After installation, be sure to dispose of waste product packaging with care and with full respect

for the environment.

2 Restrictions on Installation

(1) A clearance of at least 150mm must be left between a imaging unit and power box.

(2) It is forbidden to use the cables (Sensor cable, X-ray interface cable, etc.) from the power box

for moving parts. The only exception to this restriction is the sensor cable that is to be
connected to the imaging unit.

1

2. Installation

3 Caution on Installation

(1) Do not install the imaging unit near electronic devices as noises and artifacts tend to appear on

images in the electromagnetic field.

e.g. CRT monitor, X-ray generator, and any other medical electronic devices.

(2) Follow the following steps to detach the sensor cable while the system is running.

1) To detach the sensor cable

- Check the LED of the imaging unit and the display of the control computer to make

sure the status of communication between the imaging unit and control computer is
idle. (*1)

- Turn off the main power switch of the power box or the remote switch. (*2)

- Make sure the LED on the imaging unit, switch on the power box and remote switch

are turned off. Power supply to the Imaging unit must be disconnected.

- Detach the connector of the sensor cable.

*1: Do not detach the sensor cable during the data transmission between the imaging
unit and control computer, it may cause data loss, system error or equipment
breakdown.

*2: Do not detach the sensor cable when the power is being supplied from the power box,
it may cause equipment breakdown. If you disconnect the imaging unit by improper
steps, the “Error” LED on the power box and remote switch will be turned on to alert
you the sensor cable is detached improperly. To restore from the error, turn off the main
switch of the power box or the remote switch. Then connect the sensor cable again by
following the steps described in the next column.

2) To attach the sensor cable

- Make sure the LED on the imaging unit, switch on the power box and remote switch

are turned off. Power supply to the Imaging unit must be disconnected.

- Connect the connector of the sensor cable.

- Turn on both the main switch of the power box and remote switch.

(3) Before proceeding with installation, ensure that the static accumulated in the bodies of the

installation personnel is discharged. Similarly, before touching the PCBs (when removing
them) or cable connectors, ensure that all static is discharged.

(4) With the launch of CXDI-60C, the specification of the CXDI-60G sensor cable is changed to

conform to CXDI-60C. For details, refer to “7.1.4 Interchanging a Imaging Unit”.

7.2 Starting up and Shutting Down the System

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

7.2.1 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 computer.

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 computer.

Note:

Ccrstart.bat should be registered in Windows Startup.

7.2.2 Sequence for Turning the Power off (Shutdown)

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

The control computer automatically turns off.

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

3) Turn off the main power of the power box.

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

T

....................................................................... min.0 max.300ms

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

T

RX_REQ_NEG

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

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.

7.4 Network Settings

1. Objective

The imaging part communicates with the control computer by using Ethernet [IEEE802.3u
(100Base-TX)] to transfer X-ray images.

The control computer 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 computer network card

2) Network setting for Screwcap.ini

3) Network setting stored in the imaging unit.

2. Preparation

• Keyboard

• Mouse

Connect the keyboard and mouse to the back of the control computer.

Check if the system is connected, and then turn the system on.

3. Setup method

3.1 TCP/IP setting for the control computer network card

Perform the set up by referring to “FC-24VE (or FC-E21A) for CXDI Control Station Service
Manual” -> the chapter “System Manual” -> “Network Setup”.

Default values

IP Address:192.168.100.10

SubnetMask:255.255.255.0

32

2. Installation

3.2 Network setting for Screwcap.ini

The CXDI software communicates with the imaging part through Screwcap.dll by using the
communication protocol for sending and receiving commands and responses.

In conjunction with the communication, Screwcap.ini retains the information of the connected
imaging unit such as network addresses.

It is necessary to edit Screwcap.ini to communicate with the imaging part.

Since the Screwcap.ini factory setting is the following default setting (see the figure below), it is
not necessary to edit the setting unless you changed the network protocol TCP/IP setting for the
LAN card that communicates with the imaging unit in the previous item, “3.1 TCP/IP setting for
the control computer network card”.

Screwcap.ini is located in the following directory:

DICOM Basic Film Session

(2000, 0030).
* Film is printed as the

designated film type.

* This parameter is set according to the

user’s requirement.

* In the DICOM library TYPE3, the value

is transferred together with the Tag.
However, if the value is unknown, the
value is either is transferred as a
character string with length 0, or the
element itself is not transferred.

Æ The printer default values are used if

this parameter is not entered.

* This parameter is set according to the

user’s requirement.

transfer software uses automatically
STANDARD1 1, for reason this
parameter must be transferred in the
DICOM.

Æ The parameter is not transferred over
DICOM if it is not designated. In this
case, the printer default values are used.
When this parameter is not transferred,
problems can occur since unsuitable
default values may be used.
* Some printers do not print until a supply

magazine of the designated size is
loaded, and others print even though the
designated size is different from the
currently loaded supply magazine.

Æ The printer default values are used if
this parameter is not entered. When this
parameter is not transferred, problems can
occur since unsuitable default values may
be used.

Æ The parameter is not transferred over
DICOM if it is not designated. In this

information that it has
(DICOM official
specifications).

* When the -g option is added,

the essential information
only is collected. This
information includes the
Printer Status and Printer
Status Info. (To prevent
installation when the printer
does not satisfy the above
DICOM specifications.)

[130012 Peer aborted Association (or
never connected)]occurs even though the
DICOM data transfer was successful.

Æ This is used based on the connected
printers.
* This parameter is to be changed when

taking timeout.

Note

The parameters -p, -v, and -V filename display the log on the console. Therefore, be sure
to always erase these parameters before operation by the user.

In the past, -k2 was used to fix troubles, but it has now been set as the default has been changed
to -k2 to ensure precise compliance with the DICOM code. At sites wishing to adhere to their
existing window values, -k1 should be used.

• 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.

80 µm x 4256 x 5174

• In the standard Agfa system, the annotation option is
selected. Therefore, the full image area will not be
printed correctly unless you ask the serviceman to
deselect the annotation option.

78 µm x 4096 x 5220
Note: The 8700 printer cannot display in landscape

box is not added, this printer cannot be used by the
CXDI. However, it can be used starting from CXDI
version 2.0.

• If there is an Imager Pixel Spacing tag (0018, 2264), the

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]

75

2. Installation

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.

* The data for the SMPTE test image grayscale transferred by the CXDI are the values

for the maximum density (3.20 in the case of the MLP 190) in the printer settings
which have been changed in 11 uniform steps.

Step

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.

[Fig. 5]

4-3) Select the END STUDY and transfer the SMPTE pattern image to the printer or the

high-definition monitor. [Fig. 6]

[Fig. 6]

4-4) On a printed film or on the monitor, measure the density of 32 steps of the grayscale

on the test image. [Fig. 7]

*1: Measure the SMPTE image density on the film using a densitometer. The SMPTE

image density on the high-definition monitor is measured using the gradation
analysis software.

*2: The data for the SMPTE test image grayscale transferred by the CXDI are the

(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.
