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.
Rev.1.0.7 Page 11 of 173 D-17-519
VXvue Service Manual
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.

Operation and maintenance should be done in strict compliance with the operation
instructions contained in the manual.
The system, in whole or in part, cannot be modified in any way without prior approval
from Vieworks.
Before authorizing any person to operate the system, verify that the person has read and
fully understood the manual. The owner should make certain that only properly trained
and fully qualified personnel are authorized to operate the equipment. An authorized
operators list should be made and maintained.
If a malfunction occurs, do not use this device until qualified personnel correct the

1.8.2 Shooting
Be sure to read the manual carefully before shooting.
X-ray imaging must be performed in compliance with the laws of the country where this
product is used.
Be sure to check the status of the detector before shooting. If the state of the detector is
not normal, images may not be acquired even if X-rays are irradiated.
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.

1.8.3 Image Processing
Before image processing, users must read this manual before executing
Image processing without proper understanding may affect image quality.
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.
Vieworks is not responsible for any data stored without verification.
Failure to meet program recommendations may affect the speed of image processing.
Recommended specifications must be met for optimal image processing and functional
operation.
1.8.4 Calibration
The user is responsible for checking the detector calibration immediately after installing
this software. We are not responsible for any direct or indirect damage that occurs while
using the product without calibrating the detector.
If you do not perform Detector Pixel Pitch Calibration or Film Pixel Pitch Calibration, the
measurement may not be accurate.
Be sure to read the manual carefully before performing calibration.
1.8.5 Cybersecurity
The physical security of the Workstation where VXvue is installed depends on the physical
security policy of the user organization or environment. Be careful not to allow access by
unauthorized users.
Security updates of Windows OS should be performed periodically. (Malware
detection/protection, vulnerability supplementation)
For the availability of VXvue, the Workstation's resources (memory, storage capacity) must
be properly secured.
Whether an activity is caused by inappropriate access can be checked through the log
stored in the product.
The privileges granted to the user ID determine the scope of use of VXvue. Be careful not
to grant users more privileges than necessary.
VXvue stores/manages health data. Be careful not to leak the patient's personal
information.
VXvue provides Emergency shooting function for use in emergency situations. Be careful
not to allow emergency shooting to be used by unauthorized users.

VXvue Service Manual
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.
