Extended Menu Code :
The extended menu code is the code for managing exposure menus. It does not decide EDR
(automatic image reading sensitivity setting function) and image processing parameters for images
not like the following MPM code. EDR and the image processing parameters are the same as ones for
the original exposure menu to be copied.
An unused code is set in default. To change the code, enter any code (a maximum of 16 characters,
* and @ cannot be used). (Duplication with codes of other exposure menus is not allowed.)
Example> In the case of creating different exposure menus such as “CERVICAL,OBL”/
“CERVICAL,LAT”/“CERVICAL,RAO”/“CERVICAL,LAO” by copying a
“CERVICAL SPINE” (MPM code: 0107) menu. (EDR and the image processing
parameters are not to be changed.)

MPM Code :
The MPM code is the code that manages exposure menus and also decides EDR and image processing
parameters for images. Users can change the third digit of the code since it does not affect EDR and
image processing parameters, but cannot change any other digits. (That is, original exposure menus
decide the EDR and image processing parameters for newly created exposure menus.)
Example)
The The code of the original exposure menu to be copied is set in default. Select a code from the
dropdown list. If the selected code has already used in other exposure menus, the exposure menu is
displayed in the “Related Menu” box.
Example> In the case of creating a new “PELVIS,OBL” menu with changed image processing
parameters and exposure parameters by using a “PELVIS,FRN” (MPM code: 0500) menu.
Original exposure menu → PELVIS,FRN (MPM code: 0500)
Newly created exposure menu → PELVIS,OBL (MPM code: 05x0, “x” is an optional
character to be set.)
Exposure Menu Name :
Enter the exposure menu name (a maximum of 64 characters, * and @ cannot be used).

(4) Setting exposure parameter
Select the “Exposure Parameter 1”, “Exposure Parameter 2” or “Exposure Parameter 3” tab to
display the folder, and set each exposure parameter.
<Exposure Parameter 1>
Invert Image :
Select an invert display of the image. Normally “Frontal Image” and “Vertical” can be selected. If
making “Horizontal” and “Horizontal and Vertical Rotation” selectable, the maintenance setting is
required.
Rotate Image :
Rotation display of the image. This item is normally fixed to “None”. If making “Rotate 90 degree”
selectable, the maintenance setting is required.
Simplified Image Processing Condition (SS/CS) :
Set CS (contrast shift) and SS (density shift). The value can be changed by selecting the arrow button.
It cannot be changed by entering the value through keyboard.
CS is the coefficient given to the parameter concerning the tonal curve. It changes the contrast of the
image. This value can be set in the range of *(x)0.5 to *2.0.
SS is the coefficient given to the parameter concerning the reading sensitivity. It changes the density
of the image. This value can be set in the range of /(÷)2.0 to *(x)2.0.
EDR Mode :
Select an EDR (automatic image reading sensitivity setting function) mode. If setting “Fix” mode,
enter “S value” (4 to 20047). “S Value” can be changed either by selecting the arrow button or by
entering the value through keyboard.
If performing the Manual EDR processing, select “Manual”. It is only effective for the Image
Readers that can perform the Manual EDR processing.
EIt Value :
Set an EIt value when the EI/DI display is enabled. The EI and the DI (defined in IEC 62494-1:2008)
on the “Study Screen” and “Image Edit Screen” are calculated based on the EIt value that has been
set in this field.

Filing Mode :
Select a mode to be used for filing an image to a filing device, such as ODF. Basically, "OFF" (not to
record)/ "ON" (to record) can be selected. "ON*" is not allowed to select. (This parameter is
inactivated when no filing device is connected.)
Film Size :
Select a film size. This parameter is used as the exposure actual result information to be sent to the
RIS Terminal Units. It does not affect the film size to be used actually. A film size that can be
selected will differ depending the settings performed at installation.
Auto Repeat :
Select either of “OFF” (do not perform) / “ON” (perform) for the auto repeat exposures.

Reading Mode :
Select a desired reading mode used to read images on the Image Reader.
FR : Five lines/mm reading mode
SR : Ten lines/mm reading mode
GR : Ten lines/mm GR reading mode
“FR: Five lines/mm reading mode” reads images in high-speed mode.
Shown below are the IP sizes that can be read in high-speed mode.
• 14”x17”
• 14”x14”
Whether FR mode can be selected or not depends on the connected Image Reader.
Even if FR mode is selected on Image Readers not available for that mode, images will be read in SR
mode instead.
There are cases where trimming processing cannot be applied on images read by FR mode.
GPR processing:
When the GPR option is activated, this processing allows OFF (disabled) or ON (enabled) to be
selected for GPR (Grid Pattern Removal processing).
Sensitivity level for the VELOCITY :
Select IP erasure mode when [Auto sensitivity change] is specified on the Image Reader FCR
VELOCITY U, FCR VELOCITY T or FUJIFILM Unity SpeedSuite.
Standard exposure : Erases the IP in high-speed mode.
High sensitivity (low X-ray dose) exposure: Erases the IP in standard erasure mode.

NOTES
• To change image processing parameters, consult a physician who is going to read images, and
then verify changed parameters on multiple images. Moreover, if image processing parameters
thus changed affect image reading adversely, adjust those parameters appropriately.
• There is apprehension that depending on the exposure conditions applied, subject to be exposed or
X-ray generator used for exposure, image processing task becomes burdensome, which causes
then artifacts to occur, resulting consequently in undesirable effects in image reading.

Trimming Reference Position :
Select a reference position when subjecting an image to trimming processing.
NOTE
• Trimming processing is not available in the cases a) to c) below, even if the size of a read image is
the same as that of the image before it has been subjected to trimming processing as specified in
“Trimming Size:” above.
a) Images read from the FCR 5000 series at standard resolution
b) Composed images or source images for composition
c) Energy subtraction images
d) Some of the images read in FR mode
• With regard to an image that has been subjected to trimming processing to 10”x14” or 14”x10”
size, do not change image magnification ratio or image rotation direction on the image display
unit side. Because the trimming frame position information varies as the image magnification
ratio or image rotation direction changes, 10”x14” or 14”x10” sized images cannot be output
correctly even if they are reprinted via the CR Console.
• Modifying an exposure menu or replacing an image after image reading processing will retain the
trimming setting determined before such a change, resulting thus in disabling retrimming
processing at initial menu setting after such a change.
• Specified trimming processing will not be reflected on images extracted in a size such as 10”x12”
or 8”x10” and subjected to filing and soft copy at standard resolution.
