1.2.8 Precautions for each function

WARNING

Precautions on stitching combination processing

• Adjust the combination position by using the markers as supplementary standards in addition to body parts of the subject. It is also recommended that you arrange the measure in the combined image

part during exposure to simplify the conrmation of

the combined parts.

Precautions for One Shot stitching exposure

• One Shot stitching exposure outputs the combined picture by correcting the images' overlapping part captured by DR panel. Depending on the capturing conditions, lateral stripes or decrease in contrast might occur in a correction area, or decrease in contrast might also occur if a structure horizontally long overlaps with the correction area. Make sure

the correction area and the parts in an examination

are not overlapping.

• Make sure to observe the number of DR panels that are loaded in the stitching holder through the

exposure screen before conducting the exposure.

Precautions for image measurements

• Sometimes the exposure orientation causes accidental errors with regard to the actual length of the subject. Use while taking into account any error between image and measured results.

Precautions when running HS processing

• The noise is reduced by HS processing, and you can

expect signals that are unclear due to noise to become clearer, but signals that do not exist will not be visible.

• When reviewing whether to reduce dosage by means of HS processing, consider lowering the signal component by means of reducing dosage and always check whether images are suitable for diagnosis

.

26

1.2 Safety precautions

WARNING

Precautions when applying scattered radiation correction (IG) processing

• It is expected that scattered radiation correction pro-

cessing will remove scattered radiation components

thus enhance subject contrast; however, it does

and not ensure that the same image quality as that which is generated when a grid is used will be obtained.

• Applying scattered radiation correction processing

will not have any e󰀨ect if the desired image is not

contained in the original signals.

• Applying the scattered radiation correction processing may result in unnatural images. In particular, applying this processing to images for which grids were used may increase the contrast too sharply. Make sure to

perform image verication to conrm if the application

of this processing is suitable for diagnosis.

• Preset a tube voltage value that is close to the ac-

tual exposure conditions as the image processing parameter of the Exam. Tag.

Precautions on magnetic card reader

• Check that patient information read from a magnetic card is consistent with the information written in the magnetic card.

• Do not connect multiple magnetic card readers to a single device. It may cause malfunctions.

• Do not change the settings of the dip switch on the bottom of the magnetic card reader.

Precautions on bar code reader

• The reading window discharges a laser, so take care not to look in the laser or point the laser toward the eye. In addition, perform periodic inspection of the reading window.

• Laser is discharged during disassembly. Do not disassemble.

Precautions on blackening process for areas

outside the exposure eld

• In the blackening process for areas outside the exposure eld, if the distance between the edge of the X-ray

exposure eld and the edge of the cassette is

3 cm or less, the masking function may fail to recog-

nize the masking eld. When using a collimator, set the

edge of the X-ray exposure eld to be su󰀩cient-

ly distant from the edge of the cassette

use preview on the [Output] tab or [Overlay] tab to

check that the masking area is appropriately set before the image is output, and modify the masking area on the viewer screen if needed.

. In addition,

CAUTION

Notes on the chest wall blackening process

• Recognition of unexposed areas on the breast

may be lost in the chest wall blackening process.

Use preview on the [Output] tab or [Overlay] tab to

check that the chest wall blackening area is not in the diagnosis area before the image is output, and set the chest wall blackening process to OFF on the viewer screen if needed.

Precautions on mammogram

• For United States of America, this device is not intended to use for Mammography.

• Use upon conrming that missing regions in images

on the reception area and exposure eld exceeding

the reception area are within the allowable range. Also, make sure that additional information such as stamps do not overlap with the breast area in images.

• Confirm that additional information such as markers and stamps is not superimposed on the breast area.

• When displaying two mammograms on two frames,

ne-tune and check the horizontal positions of the

images.

Precautions for the use of the highlight func-

tion for the tube/gauze

• If the tube/gauze is di󰀩cult to identify on the image, adjust the highlight level. When the tube/gauze is highlighted too much, lower the highlight level.

Precautions when merging study images

• When studies are merged, their patient and study information are updated.

Precautions on the lung lack/motion blur detection function

• In images showing lesions, foreign substances, etc., lung lack or motion blur may be detected even

when none exist.

Precautions on multi-study function

• Be careful since, in order for patient information to be determined automatically from the four information variables (patient ID, name, date of birth, and

sex), a patient will not be treated as the same patient if the four variables di󰀨er.

Chapter 1

27

1.2 Safety precautions

CAUTION

Precautions for Web/Remote Desktop Linkup

• Do not use the Web/Remote Desktop Linkup for the

following purposes:

– Diagnosis of illnesses, prevention of illness,

monitoring, treatment, or pain relief.

– Diagnosis of injuries or physical disabilities,

monitoring, treatment, pain relief, or corrective procedures.

– Physiological or anatomical examinations, sub-

stitutions or corrections. – Control of conception. – Diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, or prevention

of human or animal illness, abnormal physical

conditions, or diagnostic signs of such illnesses

or conditions. – Healing, modication, or adjustment of human or

animal physical functions or anatomy. – Diagnosis of pregnancy. – Care for humans or animals during pregnancy,

while delivering, or after birth, including for natal

care and non-medicinal birth control.

Precautions on the login control mode

• Be careful of password management.

Precautions on REGIUS plates

• Frequency and duration of use of the REGIUS

Precautions on high precision monitors

• Since a high precision monitor has a different as-

• High precision mammographies are not displayed.

Precautions on the AeroDR Stitching Unit

• Always ensure the exposure ready LED (blue) of

*

monitor.

the AeroDR Stitching Unit is lit before performing an

exposure. Additionally, do not press the rst stage of the exposure switch until the exposure ready

LED (blue) is lit.

Photostimulable phosphor plate for

CAUTION

Precautions on a stitching cassette

• There are small di󰀨erences in magnication of im-

ages made with REGIUS plates which are adjacent within a stitching cassette. For this reason, overlapping parts of images made with REGIUS plates which are adjacent do not completely match. (When

the exposure distance is 1.5 m, misalignment in the horizontal direction will be approximately 0.5 mm at maximum.)

Precautions on the grid

• For grid during exposure, use 34-40 lp/cm. When exposing with a grid other than specified, some-

times moire cannot be eliminated. * For the DR Detector, the grid to be used is speci-

ed. Refer to the AeroDR Operation Manual for

details.

• The grid removal process reduces the response of the frequency components that make up the grid image. The principle of this process is that the grid

image uses a specic range of spatial frequencies.

Therefore, part of the signal components of images other than the grid image may also be reduced if these images have signal components near the frequency range of the grid image. When you have

performed exposure using a grid, check whether

the images obtained by removing the grid are suitable for diagnosis.

Precautions when changing the exposure device

• When changing the device (for example, a wall stand reader to a table reader), di󰀨erent exposure

conditions may have been set for the same body part depending on the settings of the body part that is created or edited by the user master. Therefore,

carefully check both the body part and its exposure conditions before starting the examination.

Precautions when the image is used on a device other than the one used for output

• When using the image on another device for the purpose of measurement etc., check the consistency between the devices before use. In particular, care must be taken when decreasing the image size because some correction may be applied to the image depending on the reduction ratio.

Precautions on changing the reading area

• If annotation has been set for the image, changing the reading area will disable the annotation setting. Set annotation again.

28

CAUTION

Precautions when sending exposure setting

• When sending exposure setting to an external Xray device, check the exposure conditions on the Xray device. Be especially careful of X-ray exposure settings when performing an exposure on a small

child.

Precautions when delivering an image from this device to other devices

• Conrm that additional information such as set annotation is correct.

Precautions for exposure with the DR Detector

• Before exposure, conrm on the screen of this device that the DR Detector is registered in the exposure room. Also, perform exposure after conrming that the DR Detector to be used for exposure has

been selected.

• Do not leave the DR Detector in the vicinity of a heating device such as a heated carpet etc.

1.2 Safety precautions

Chapter 1

Precaution on exposure dose

• After exposure, S values are displayed in the image display areas of this device. Check that the S

values indicate the appropriate dosage for exposed

images.

Precautions when performing exposure in Aero Sync mode

• Confirm that the device is ready for exposure through its display before performing exposure.

• Conrm that a conrmation is sounded from the device after the start of exposure.

• Do not let the DR Detector vibrate or receive shock until the preview image is displayed.

• Conrm that the DR Detector’s battery level is full

before performing exposure.

• Use within the range of the pre-checked exposure conditions.

• Be aware that the exposure procedure must be changed in some cases when the settings are changed for the Aero Sync button or initial detection level. Be sure to press the Aero Sync button after changing the Aero Sync button setting from OFF to ON.

• If the Aero Sync button or initial detection level has not been set appropriately, a malfunction may occur due to the DR Detector being subjected to impact. Make sure values are changed appropriately.

the exposure conditions before X-ray exposure.

• Depending on the type of X-ray device, several sec-

onds may elapse before notication of the irradiation

results. For this type of model, take care because

sometimes irradiation results are not reected correctly if the exposure conditions are changed immediately

5.3 Exposure with DR Detector (Aero Sync mode)

IMPORTANT

• With Aero Sync mode exposure, X-rays with default intensity that reached the DR Detector are detected, and image acquisition is started. Select any one of the following X-ray detection levels during exposure according to the model or conditions of

the DR Detector to be used.

– Small

Used for general imaging such as that of the chest and limb bones.

– Med

This is e󰀨ective for imaging of the abdomen or lumbar front of patients with thick bodies as well as in the case where the direct X-ray region does not enter the DR Detector due to the narrowed exposure eld. Be careful not to subject the DR Detector to strong shocks during exposure.

– Large

This is more e󰀨ective than the medium detectionlevel for imaging of the abdomen or lumbar front of patients with thick bodies as well as in the case where the direct X-ray region does not enter the DR Detector due to the narrowed exposure eld. Request that the patient stands still for as long as possible during exposure.

– Extra Large

Exposures can be performed at a level higher than [Large]. This is e󰀨ective for imaging of the abdomen or lumbar front of

patients with thick bodies as well as in the case where the direct X-ray region does not enter the DR Detector due to the

narrowed exposure eld. Be careful not to subject the DR Detector to strong shocks during exposure.

• [Extra Large] is displayed when using either the AeroDR 3 1417HD, AeroDR 2 1417HQ or AeroDR 2 1417S.

If there are any radioactive substances remaining in the patient's body after nuclear medicine testing or some other reason, the

AeroDR 2 1417HQ and the AeroDR 2 1417S may recognize that X-rays were emitted and start image transfer. When the im-

age is transferred, change the X-ray sensitive setting of the image processing controller to "Large" before performing exposure. If you change the X-ray sensitivity to "Large", make sure that all of the following conditions are met before performing exposure. If you perform exposure under other conditions, you may not be able to get an image.

– On the DR Detector, set up an area (2 cm x 2 cm or larger) on which the X-rays are emitted directly.

– Emit the X-rays onto the entire DR Detector.

– Emit the X-rays by using a tube current of 140 mA or higher or a tube voltage of 90 kV or higher.
