It is not indicated for use in mammography.

Rev.1.0.7 Page 10 of 173 D-17-519

VXvue Service Manual

1.5 Clinical Benefits of Product Use

The medical benefit of a VXvue is that it has a medical image of a patient created by the detector and that

the physician can detect the disease in advance. Accordingly, the patient can be treated with medication or

simple surgery, and the physician can treat the patient with accurate location information and progress of

the disease. Therefore, this medical benefit is greater than the residual risk of a VXvue.

1.6 Features

VXvue gets images from a detector, processes and transfers the images and manages patient’s



information and the images for radiologists. VXvue enables images such as x-ray images to be stored

electronically and viewed on screens.

VXvue offers full compliance with DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) standards



to allow the sharing of medical information with other PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication

System Server). Besides, VXvue is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the

acceptance, transfer, display, storage, and digital processing of medical images. The software components

provide functions for performing operations related to image manipulation, enhancement, or

quantification.

 By default, VXvue performs image acquisition only when an exam is open. If the exam is

not open, an image may not be acquired even with X-rays.

 Depending on the area and direction to be photographed, the irradiation conditions may

affect the image quality, so it is necessary to set the appropriate irradiation conditions.

 Patient size is one of the main factors affecting image quality. Appropriate imaging

conditions should be set according to the size of the patient.

 Avoid performing other operations while shooting. If you perform other operations while

shooting, image damage or unexpected behavior may occur.



accurately and then change it.

 If you do not set the appropriate image processing adjustment value according to the

patient area, the image quality may be affected.

 Do not arbitrarily change or delete files related to image processing. If the file related to

image processing is arbitrarily changed, image processing is not performed normally.

 After processing the image or adjusting the image result, be sure to check it and save it.

1.8.6 Pediatric Application

When radiography of children with the X-ray system that includes this equipment, pay

attention to the following points.



Every request should be reviewed by a pediatric radiologist prior to beginning the

examination to ensure that an appropriate study is being performed.

 The technologist should use a proper technique considering the patient’s size to decrease

the radiation dose when he or she acquires diagnostic images.

 ALL pediatric patients shall be shielded for their X-ray examinations, except for when the

shield will obscure the region of interest, as in a pelvic or SI joint X-ray for trauma or

arthritis, or when it is physically or clinically unreasonable to shield the patient.

 For routine Hip X-Rays, ALL male children shall have their scrotum shielded using the

small gonadal shield while females may not be shielded because doing so would obscure

the hips.
