If more than one film/screen combination has been installed, one
of them has to be removed.

DIGISCAN M 1

The DIGISCAN M system must hav e been install ed according to DIGISCAN M Instal lation

Instructions, SPB7-420.812.01... .

Hardcopy camera 1

If a hardcopy camera is conf igured, an appointment must have been scheduled with the
responsible emplo y ee from the camera manufac turer. The employee should be present at
startup - approximately 2 days after beginning of the installation through the sub contrac ­tor.

This employ ee will have the following tasks:

• Connecting the hardcopy camera to the network.

• Setting the hardcopy camera input to a linear LUT and opti cal density to max.

• Checking image transfer together with the Siemens employe e.

Solna, Sweden Rev. 04 11.02 SPS-UD System Manual

1 - 4 Introduction

• Measuring the optical density values of th e ten gray steps of the SMPTE test pattern

together with the Siemens employee.

• Performing any adaptations on the hardcopy camera so tha t the reference values

(optical density) of the SMPTE test patter n can be achieved.

Important notes on start-up 1

General remarks 1

The system documentation is no longer available on paper. The documents are now pub­lished via CD-ROM or CB-DOC (intranet). The exceptions are Installation Instructions,
Start-up, Software , Wiring Diagrams and Di sposal Instructions that are deliv ered on paper
also.

The CD-ROM will be distributed only to the persons who ha ve attended the required train­ing course and is therefore not available at the site!

The spare parts list found on the CD-ROM in the Fuji manual is the original Fuji list with
Fuji material numbers only. All available Siemens material numbers are listed on the
LINKONE CD-ROM spare parts catalog.

Network configuration 1

NOTE

If the system is integrated into an existing network, the records regarding “update” must
be adapted to the local conditions (hospital name, type of hardcopy camera).

It is also recommended that when the system is initially integrated into the network, the
standard system first be put into operation in accordance with the instructions in this doc­ument and its function checked.
Afterwards, the system can be integrated into the existing network by adapting the net­work configuration.

NOTE

If there is no network and if the DIGISCAN M system is operated
as a “stand-alone” network, configuration of the network can be
skipped.

This document describes a DIGISCAN M standard system and
presumes that the Siemens employee has completed the training
according to the Field Service Strategy.

Shipment 1

The parts of the DIGISCAN M system are adjusted, tested, documented and shipped sep­arately.

Software 1

• The acquisition workstation is not shipped with t he software pre installed.

• For viewing station (option), see product- accompanying documentation.

Definitions 7

Object table group 7

An object table group contai ns all object tab les of the same type. There are four groups of
object tables - Grid, No grid, Magni fication and Stereo. For example the object tab le g roup
Grid, consists of Grid 18x24 and Grid 24x30.

NOTE

Stereo shall not be used together with DIGISCAN M.

General conditions 7

When performing the settings in this chapter, there are some general conditions valid for
all settings:

• The detector is to be in chest wall positi on.

MAM00616

• The AEC calibration plexi (material No. 65 61 224 and 65 61 232) must extend at leas t 10

mm beyond the chest wall edge of the table and be centere d. Place the AEC calibration
plexi in the same position for all exposures.

Calibration conditions 7

Compression plate must not be used during the calibration of corre ction tables. From the
point sensitivity correction (fine setting) a compression plate may be used.

Reference IP cassette 7

Every DIGISCAN M system should have a reference IP cassette. Use this reference IP
cassette where required and for the settings in this chapter. If there is no dedicated refer­ence IP cassette, pick one IP cassette, mark it and use it for the settings in this chapter.

Mains voltage 7

Unless otherwise stated, the mains voltage and system must be ON and the service pro­gram running, before performing any setting in this chapter.

Sensitivity conditions 7

One step (1/8 E.P.) corresponds to approximately 4 AD Values.

AEC Correction tables 7

This section will guide you through the following steps:

• Installation of correction tables ( F2).

• Calibration of correction tables (F3), including rough setting of sensitivity correction.

The AEC uses one correction table for each Anode/Filter/Speed combination. Each cor­rection table has separ ate corrections for eac h object tabl e group (Magnifi cation, Grid and
No grid).

Installation of AEC correction tables 7

Turning the system over to the customer 10

The checks and measurements that have been carried out and documented up to this
point are intended to assure that the system technically functions correctly.

However to satisfy the customer, the system must be adapted to the medical application
and to the on-site working conditions.

For this, it is necessary to bring in an applications specialist who:

• Optimizes the system image quality.

• Programs the function key and software keys on the MagicView 1000 ( option) if

requested by the customer.

• Provides the customer with intensive instruction on how t o operate the system.

If it is not possible to have an applications specialist on site immediately after system
startup has been completed, the responsible system techni cian can also provide the cus­tomer with brief instructions on how to operate the system.

In addition, the system technician should remain present for the first several hours to
observe patient operation to be on hand to answer the customer’s questions; make the
customer aware of any mistakes in operation.

After system optimization by the application specialist, the system technician must again
carry out a data backup of the complete system confi guration to as sure that the customer­specific data are saved.

10 - 1

NOTE

Applicable for Germany:

A radiographic system can be put into patient operation only if a system turnover
procedure per §16 RöV has been carried out.

It is recommended that the responsib le system technician be on hand to provide support
to the person responsible for system turnover.
