Requirements 1.4
Basic measuring conditions 0
• Completely functioning system; ensure that
- the grid is attached to the I.I. input.
- the cover is attached to the POWERPHOS over the tube collimator.
• A "mid" level fluoro dose rate means: (full format; setting tolerance 10%).
33 cm I.I.: 0,131 µGy/s - fluoro (at the I.I.
input), grid factor 1.5 must be
used.
• A "high" level fluoro dose rate means: (full format; setting tolerance 10%).
33 cm I.I.: 0,262 µGy/s - fluoro (at the I.I.
input), grid factor 1.5 must be
used.
• In addition, dose multipliers predefined in the unit are used for the different operating
modes.
• The setpoints listed in the following chapters apply for a "mid" or "high" dose level; in the
case of deviating settings, setpoints may have to be adapted.
• When requested to switch
- Noise reduction K-factor
- Edge
- Motion detection
- Fluoroscopic characteristic
- or other parameters in the organ programs, select or change a correspondingly predefined organ program or, if possible, change the parameter directly in the acquisition task card.
• The "Service_X_..." exam sets in "General, All Body Region" must be activated in the
ExamSet Editor prior to starting work and returned to the hidden pool after completion
of the work. See the following paragraph "Loading/unloading the exam sets relevant for
the IQ test."

Activating, deactivating, and selecting the exam sets relevant for the IQ test 0
NOTE
Exam sets relevant for the IQ test have been predefined to
simplify image quality testing and can be loaded.
During normal operation, these are not active and are not
visible to the customer.
The exam sets relevant for the IQ test must be activated
prior to conducting the image quality test.
These exam sets must then be deactivated after completion
of the IQ test.
Activating the exam sets relevant for the IQ test
• Select the "Options" - "Configuration" menu after system start-up.
¹ The "syngo configuration panel" window is displayed.
• Double-click on the "Examination set configuration" icon.
¹ The "Examination set configuration" window is displayed.
• Select the "General" task card in the "Examination set configuration" window.
NOTE
For the exam sets relevant for the IQ test to be visible, no
patient region may be selected in the graphic, virtual patient
anatomy representation.
If a patient region is selected and is displayed lighter than its
surroundings, click once in the gray field to the left or right
outside of the image.
This deselects the previously selected patient region so it is
no longer displayed lighter than its surroundings.
• All available exam sets are displayed in the "Examination set pool" field in the "Exami-
nation set configuration" window.
¹ Already active exam sets have a light background.
¹ Inactive exam sets have a gray background.
• Select each exam set beginning with "SERVICE_....." and copy it to the "Active exami-
nation sets" field by clicking on the button with the down arrow.
¹ All exam sets beginning with "SERVICE_..." are displayed in the "Active examina-
tion sets" field.
• Click on the "Apply" button.
• Click on the "OK" button.
¹ The "Examination set configuration" window closes.
¹ The exam sets relevant for the IQ test can be selected in the examination task
card after a patient is opened under "General."

• All available exam sets are displayed in the "Active examination sets" field in the
"Examination set configuration" window. Active exam sets have a light background.
• Select each exam set beginning with "SERVICE_....." and remove them from the
"Active examination sets" field by clicking on the button with the up arrow.
¹ None of the exam sets beginning with "SERVICE_..." are displayed any longer in
the "Active examination sets" field.
• Click on the "Apply" button.
• Click on the "OK" button.
¹ The "Examination set configuration" window closes.
¹ The exam sets relevant for the IQ test are no longer available in the examination
task card after a patient is opened under "General."
Selecting the exam sets relevant for the IQ test in the examination task card
• After system start-up, perform a patient registration for the IQ test.
• After loading, the exam sets relevant for the IQ test can be selected in the examination
task card.
• Select "General" in the list field above the graphic, virtual patient anatomy representa-
tion.
• The exam sets relevant for the IQ test (beginning with "SERVICE_....") can then be
selected in the list field below the graphic, virtual patient anatomy representation.
