1.The installation of the Siemens MAMMOMAT must be completed.
2.For MAMMOMAT 3000 Nov a with serial No. low er than 6850, upgrade with
extended radiation field kit No. 64 83 551.
3.For MAMMOMAT 3000 Nova with serial No. lower than 7000, upgrade with AEC
kit No. 65 52 819. If the AEC kit is inst alled directly before the prom kit No.
66 24 410, use proms from the prom kit if those are of higher version than the AEC
proms.
Prerequisites (installat ion kit no. 65 52 819):
Depending on the serial number and/or version of t he software of your
MAMMOMAT, complementary measures may have to be taken. These measures
are described below.
- For MAMMOMAT 3000 with serial number lower than 2056:
If not done previously; cha nge the polarity of the stereo le ver switch.
- For MAMMOMAT 3000 with serial number lower than 3242:
Make sure that the art icle no. of the PC board D702 is 64 21 288.
- For MAMMOMAT 3000 software version lower than v1.5:
Replace HSE detectors. The part no. of the HSE detect ors must be 38 47 626.
- For MAMMOMAT 3000 software version lower than v2.2:
Calibrate the swivel-arm rotati on.
NOTICE
The tables for Fuji CR HR-BD imaging plate in IP CASS-BD M will
be installed on D and will overwrite existing tables.
Make sure that the correction tables for the film/screen combination are installed on H.
If more than one film/screen combination has been installed, one
of them has to be removed.
Fuji equipment2
Fuji FCR 5000 MA reader with Fuji CR Console with SW versio n A06 or higher.
The installation of the Fuji FCR 5000MA reader and the Fuji CR Console must be com-
pleted.
It is recommended that a Fuji service engineer is present during the installation.

Unpacking3
Unpack the accessories from the box.
Setup3
• Disconnect the network cables from the Fuji equipment. The original network connection
shall be restored when the AEC calibratio n has been performed.
• Connect the MAMMOMAT, Fuji FCR 5000 MA reader, Fuji CR Console and service PC
to the switch with the enclosed network cabl es (Siemens material No. 99 00 440)
according to Fig. 1. Use the same network socket s on the Fuji equipment as before.
• Connect the switch to the incoming mains.
• Connect the service PC to the MAMMOMAT according to the MAMMOMAT’s Technical
Manual.

General9
These instructions describe installation of AEC floppy disk with material No. 66 01 897.
This floppy di sk makes AEC tables for Fuji CR HR-BD imaging plate in IP CASS-BD M
available.
The AEC is based on correcti on tables. The tables are optimized for the IP/cassette combinations in table 1.

Object table group9
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 ex ample the obj ect tab le group
Grid, consists of Grid 18x24 and Grid 24x30.
NOTE
Stereo shall not be used together with Fuji CR.
General conditions9
When performing the settings in this chapter, there are some general conditions valid for
all settings:
• The detector is to be in chest wall position.
MAM00616
• The AEC calibration plexi (material No. 65 61 224 and 65 61 232) must extend at least 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 conditions9
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 cassette9
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 voltage9
Unless otherwise stated, the mains voltage and system must be ON and the service program running, before performing any setting in this chapter.
Sensitivity conditions9
• One step (1/8 E.P.) corresponds to approximately 4 AD Values.

AEC Correction tables9
This section will guide you through the following steps:
• Installation of correction tables (F2).
• Calibration of correction tables (F3), inclu ding rough setting of sensitiv ity 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 tables9

Testing OPDOSE
1.Mount an 18x24 cm compression plate to the MAMMOMAT 3000.
2.Select a thickness of AEC calibration plexi (material No. 65 61 224 and 65 61
232), that is within the thicknes s interval of the program to be test ed. The
thickness intervals can be found in Mai nmenu > Configuration > Misce llaneous > Auto limits. For more information about Auto limits, s ee Chapter
“Miscellaneous -> Auto limits” in t he service manual “Service Program” for
MAMMOMAT 3000.
3.Select AUTO on control panel.
4.Place the AEC calibration plexi on the object table in question and compress to 6
kg or more.
5.Check that the correct program is bl inking on the control panel. Sel ect the
program by pressing the corresponding pr ogram button on the control panel.
6.Perform an examination according to " Examination" on Page 8 - 1, use the
BREAST, L (DSR) exposure menu from the BREAST task card.
7.Register the AD Value (Average pixel val ue for the area of interest) t hat is
displayed in the AECImageExtract window at the service PC.
8.The AD Value shall be as close to 400 as possible (or the density preferred by
customer). If necessary adjust density correction on control panel. Save by
pressing the store button and then the program button. Keep both butt ons pressed
until the program button stops flash ing.
9.Repeat the procedure described in steps 2 to 8 f or the other used programs.
10.Note the OPDOSE settings in the attached test protocol.
Final procedures9
1.If the service program is running, go to step 7., else go to step 2..
2.Start service PC.
3.Log in (make sure you have administrator ri ghts).
4.Press Start and select Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
5.Type “CD mammomat” and press Enter. Make sure that the new bac kup floppy is
inserted. Type “A:” and press Enter .
6.Start the service program by writ ing: Service, then press Enter.
7.Activate the DLF switch. In Main menu select Configuration > Miscellaneous > DLF switch, press space to set switch to ON. Press F2 to save.

• Verify that the network cable between the service PC and the switch is connect ed.
• Verify that the right information is used when creating new net work nodes.
Verify Connection fails13
• Verify that the AECImageExtract application is installed in path C:\AECImageExtract\.
• Verify that the AECImageExtract application is running on the ser vice PC.
• Verify that the right information is used when creating new net work nodes.
No images are transferred to the Fuji CR Console13
• Verify that the network cable between the Fuji FCR 5000MA and the switch are
connected to the same network socket in the reader as the ordinary cable, and that the
other end of the cable is connected to t he switch.
• Verify that the AEC Calibration exposure menu and property setting has been cor rectly
performed.
