X-RAY WARNING

X-RAY WARNING ATTENTION Les appareils à rayons X sont dangereux à la fois pour le patient et pour le manipulateur si les mesures de protection ne sont pas strictement appliquees Bien que cet appareil soit construit selon les normes de sécurité les plus sévères, la source de rayonnement X représente un danger lorsque le manipulateur est non qualifié ou non averti. Une exposition excessive au rayonnement X entraîne des dommages à l’organisme. Par conséquent, toutes les précautions doivent être prises pour éviter que les personnes non autorisées ou non qualifiées utilisent cet appareil créant ainsi un danger pour les autres et pour elles-mêmes. Avant chaque manipulation, les personnes qualifiées et autorisées à se servir de cet appareil doivent se renseigner sur les mesures de protection établies par la Commission Internationale de la Protection Radiologique, Annales 60 : Recommandations de la Commission Internationale sur la Protection Radiologique et les normes nationales en vigueur.

WARNING X-ray equipment is dangerous to both patient and operator unless measures of protection are strictly observed Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x-ray beam becomes a source of danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x-radiation causes damage to human tissue. Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment or exposing themselves or others to its radiation. Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 60 of the ICRP, and with applicable national standards.

ATENCION Los aparatos de rayos X son peligrosos para el paciente y el manipulador cuando las normas de proteccion no estan observadas Aunque este aparato está construido según las normas de seguridad más estrictas, la radiación X constituye un peligro al ser manipulado por personas no autorizadas o incompetentes. Una exposición excesiva a la radiación X puede causar daños al organismo. Por consiguiente, se deberán tomar todas las precauciones necesarias para evitar que las personas incompetentes o no autorizadas utilicen este aparato, lo que sería un peligro para los demás y para sí mismas. Antes de efectuar las manipulaciones, las personas habilitadas y competentes en el uso de este aparato, deberán informarse sobre las normas de protección fijadas por la Comisión Internacional de la Protección Radiológica, Anales No 60: Recomendaciónes de la Comisión Internacional sobre la Protección Radiológica y normas nacionales.

ACHTUNG Röntgenapparate sind eine gefahr fÜr patienten sowie bedienungspersonal, wenn die geltenden sicherheitsvorkehrungen nicht genau beachtet werden Dieser Apparat entspricht in seiner Bauweise strengsten elektrischen und mechanischen Sichereitsnormen, doch in den Händen unbefugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle.

PRESENTATION

Senographe 2000 D is the new Digital Mammography System from GE Medical Systems. It has been designed to perform Screening examinations as well as Diagnostic Views (including Spot compression Magnified and/or Coned views). It is a modular system that eliminates the need for film cassettes, and takes advantage of digital technology, including on-screen image display, Networking, Filming, and Archiving. The Senographe 2000D is equipped with a dual track X-ray tube (molybdenum/rhodium) and a digital detector. The digital detector is a flat panel of amorphous silicon on which cesium iodide is deposited to maximize detection of X-rays. Positioning operations and X-ray exposure are controlled by the Control Panel which also controls power to all parts of the Senographe 2000D system. 1. Senographe 2000 D's digital technology offers the capability to acquire Images in near-real time and to process them, with the ability to vary brightness and contrast levels and manipulate images. 2. It also offers high examination productivity as compared with screen/film, and introduces new applications such as Networking and Archiving. 3. Senographe 2000 D is built on the DMR Platform, recognized for Image Quality superiority. The Rhodium spectrum of the Senographe 2000 D's tube is well adapted to Digital Imaging. The Senographe 2000D includes an acquisition work station ("AWS") monitor, keyboard and mouse, computer, electronics, accessory storage, and uninterruptible power supply. The AWS is used for image acquisition, processing, and display. The AWS can also be used for database management, and can send images to archive, review, or filming. 4. The Acquisition Workstation displays acquired images in the room, allowing immediate evaluation of breast positioning and possible motion blur, or adjustment of brightness and contrast. Archiving, Networking, and Filming are all possible from the Acquisition Workstation, which can produce any number of equally high quality film copies as needed. A hard-copy laser-film printer is used for image interpretation. Printer window width and window level are set automatically, based on the image content. Images are displayed per film 1 on 1. Several options are available for use with the Senographe 2000D system. These options include a Senographe 2000D review workstation (not to be used for final interpretation of examinations), a mass archiving system, a laser camera, networking capabilities, and CD-ROM interchange media. 5. The optional Review Workstation is a stand-alone workstation, with its own dedicated computer and image database, connected to the Acquisition workstation by a high speed link. It supports image display and manipulation. This powerful computer is equipped with two dedicated, very high resolution B & W monitors and a dedicated keypad. Networking is possible from this workstation, as well as printing and receiving images from an archive device.

Overview

1. The Senographe 2000 D Gantry is equipped with a digital detector. Positioning operations and X-ray exposure are controlled by the Control Panel, usually mounted on a protective screen, which also controls power to all parts of the Senographe 2000 D system. 2. The Senographe 2000 D includes an Acquisition Workstation (AWS) monitor, keyboard and mouse, computer, electronics, accessory storage, and UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply). 3. Accessories (standard and optional). The following sections describe each of these components.

4-2.

Senographe 2000 D X-ray System

The Senographe 2000 D is equipped with a dual track X-ray tube (molybdenum/rhodium) and a digital detector. Mammographic examinations can be made with patients standing or sitting; both contact and magnification views are available. Images are acquired by direct digitization; they are displayed immediately on the AWS monitor and are stored for later diagnostic review. They can be processed and/or filmed. AOP (Automatic Optimization of Parameters) and manual setting modes are provided for control of X-ray parameters; the system provides auto-collimation and other leading features.

4-3.

Digital Detector and Image Receptor

The Digital Detector is built into the Image Receptor, shown below. It is a flat panel of amorphous silicon on which cesium iodide is deposited to maximize detection of X-rays and transmission of light photons. The high definition digital images produced are sent to the acquisition workstation for visualization and processing. The upper surface of the Image Receptor is a removable grid (Bucky). When the grid is not required, it is easily removed and replaced by an optional Breast Holder without grid.

The procedures described in the Installation Job Card Unpacking the Gantry and Generator Cabinet must have been completed.

PHYSICAL INSTALLATION

The objective is to place and anchor the gantry in its permanent position, and to assemble the protective screen. Note: The generator is not permanently installed in this Job Card because it must remain mobile until the wiring between it and the gantry is complete. The generator must therefore remain on its castors for the moment. The "CE" marking label, located on one of the large side panels of the generator, must remain visible after installation of the generator.

6.

INSTALL AND ANCHOR THE GANTRY IN ITS PERMANENT POSITION. CAUTION

Do not remove the packing from the Image Receptor until the conditions specified in Section 5-2 have been met. • Before proceeding, it is recommended that you perform a final verification of the information given in the Pre-Installation Manual, particularly concerning clearances around the gantry when installed in its permanent position. • Anchoring is recommended for Senographe 2000 D systems, but is not mandatory except in sesmic areas. 1. If anchoring is required, drill and prepare the securing holes: a. Place the drilling template (provided in the installation kit) flat on the floor, align it with the desired

permanent position and mark the three gantry mounting hole centers on the floor. b. Drill the three gantry mounting holes (depth and diameter depend on the type of insert to be used - see below). c. Place the appropriate type of insert (not provided) into each of the three mounting holes (depending on the type and thickness of floor). The inserts should be able to receive the 10 x 80 mm screws (provided), or, for U.S. installations, the closest U.S. equivalent (not provided). Wheel the gantry to its correct position (if it is to be anchored, position it with the three baseplate mounting holes aligned with the three holes drilled in the floor). Place the four flat round jack feet on the floor with their nipples facing upwards. Turn the four jacking bolts downwards until their hollowed ends engage with the nipples of the four jack feet. Use the ratchet wrench with a 22 mm socket to progressively jack the gantry up via the four jacking bolts until the castors are clear of the floor. Use the 8 mm Allen wrench to remove the castors. Lower the gantry progressively via the four jacking bolts until it is fully supported by its baseplate. Remove the four jacking bolts completely.

Note: The four jack feet remain below the gantry baseplate. If the floor is not perfectly even, level the DMR base using the four screws p/n 45562657 (provided in installation kit). Insert them in place of the jacking bolts to push on the jack feet. 8. To provide access to all three gantry baseplate mounting holes (one of the holes is located inside the gantry column), remove the two column side panels (see D/R Job Card Removal of Covers if necessary). 9. If required, bolt the gantry to the prepared inserts in the floor. 10. Cover all unused gantry baseplate holes with the plastic plugs provided.

Route Cables from the Gantry to the Generator Cabinet

These cables are grouped in two harnesses. One is contained in a white flexible cover, the other is run through a semi-flexible black tubular cable conduit. They are already connected in the Gantry Cabinet - it is only necessary to route and connect them to the Generator Cabinet. Do not secure cables with cable ties until all have been routed and connected. 1. Do not route and connect cables until the Gantry and Generator Cabinet are in their normal working positions. 2. Remove the Generator Cabinet covers (refer to the D/R Job Card Removal of Covers if necessary). 3. Remove the two red brackets which clamped the cabinet to the pallet for transport (now held to the bottom of the front and rear cover panels by adhesive tape). 4. Run the cable harnesses from the Gantry to the Generator Cabinet through floor or wall ducts as appropriate. Facing the front panel (with switches), cable entry is at the bottom of the left-hand side of the cabinet. 5. When you are satisfied that all equipment is in its correct position and unlikely to be moved, and that the cables have been correctly routed, open up any excess length of the black flexible conduit at the Generator Cabinet end. Cut it to the correct length for clamping at the cabinet entry point. 6. Clamp the white cable harness as shown. Secure the black conduit in the U-shaped clip mounted under the clamp.

7. Separate the cables and tubes contained in the black harness. The electrical cables (A) will be routed first. The air tubes (clear plastic; B) and water tubes (red reinforced tubing, insulated at the conditioner end; C) will be run separately.

Cabinet internal routing

WARNING

It is important that the instructions given for routing the two water tubes are carefully followed. Only the insulated parts of the tubes should pass through the cabinet; any excess must be coiled below the cabinet as specified. If these instructions are not followed, the heat of the cabinet can affect the temperature of the detector cooling water and make correct detector temperature control impossible. This section gives requirements for routing cables and tubes in the Generator Cabinet. Before permanently securing any item, be sure that you have studied and understood all the requirements of the connections described in this job card. It may be necessary to try different arrangements for excess cable before finally deciding on the best cable routes. • Any excess length of water tubes is coiled on the floor in the space beneath the bottom of the cabinet. • Any excess length of electrical cables is coiled in the space above the cabinet cable entry, over the guide provided at the top of the space and down to the clamping bracket at the bottom of the cabinet. • Any excess length of air tubes is coiled with the electrical cables. Take great care not to allow the air tubes to pinched by the weight of cables. • Make connections and route cables in the order given: - Black harness and Console cables; see section Black Harness and Console Cable Connection. - Water tubes; see section Water Tube Connection. - White Harness cables; see section White Harness Connections. - Air Tubes; see section Air Tube Connection. - Room door wiring; see section X-ray On and Room Door Wiring. - Footswitch connections; see section Footswitch Connection.

PROCEDURE

5-1.

Cable routing

Cart to Gantry cables are already connected in the cart; they leave the cart through a black tubular conduit. 1. Run the cable conduit from the cart to the gantry (through floor or B wall ducting as appropriate). 2. If the conduit is too long, remove the securing ring (A), cut off the excess at the gantry end, and replace the securing ring. 3. Starting with the biggest connectors (to ease the task of routing the last cables), pass the cables through the opening (B) at the bottom of the gantry. 4. Identify and connect the cables as described in the following sections. 5. After all connections have been made, secure the conduit by fitting the securing ring (A) into the fork at the bottom of the gantry as shown. Coil any excess cable inside the gantry and secure A with cable ties.

5-2.

Gantry Connections

Identify and connect the cables in the gantry, using the following table and illustrations. WARNING

SAFETY PROCEDURES

During the procedures in this Job Card, you will be in close proximity to circuits operating at line voltage take appropriate precautions.

4.

PREREQUISITES

You must follow the chronological order given in the Installation Job Card Installation Steering. Note: Make sure the console is connected to the DMR generator.

5.

PROCEDURE

If the resistance at the line input to the Senographe generator is too high, there will be a significant voltage drop when the generator draws maximum power. This procedure checks that the resistance is within acceptable limits.

5-1.

Preparation

1. Switch off the DMR; set the generator power switch 200-S1 to the 0 position. 2. Disconnect voltage selection wire SEL from its lug on the generator board 200-PL1; reconnect it to the 0 V lug. ! Notice: The 0 V position of the SEL wire is reserved exclusively for this line resistance measurement. The Senographe cannot function normally when the SEL wire is in this position. Do not attempt to switch on the Senographe at this point - follow the instructions below. 3. Connect the ac voltmeter to the input end of the power switch 200-S1; Note and write down the observed value of the open-circuit line voltage V1: V1 = ......................................

5-2.

Procedure

1. Turn the AC supply on: set the generator switch 200-S1 to the 1 position. Note: Read the next step completely before performing it. You will have only 3 seconds to read the voltmeter; if you miss the reading you will have to wait about 15 minutes to repeat it. 2. While looking at the voltmeter, press the power-on switch on the generator board 200-PL2. During a period of three seconds, a resistive load (power resistors R1 and R4 on the generator board) is connected across the line input, causing a drop in the voltage reading on the voltmeter. Note and write down this closed circuit voltage:

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION

These procedures produce X-rays. Be sure to take appropriate precautions.

4.

PREREQUISITES

This procedure should only be used when the performance of Installation Job Card Calibration of X-ray Tube Heater Current has been impossible due to excessive arcing.

5.

PROCEDURE

This procedure is to be used for re-starting an X-ray tube which was known to be good upon leaving the factory, but now exhibits arcing after a long period of inactivity. The principle is to take a series of 12 pre-determined exposures, starting at low kV values and progressively increasing towards high kV values. If arcing occurs during an exposure, some or all exposures are automatically repeated. If persistent arcing occurs, the warm-up procedure is automatically terminated. Proceed as follows: 4. Start from application mode. Change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on generator CPU board 400-PL3). Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SETUP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL. 5. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/WarmUp on the console. The track/kV combination for the first exposure should appear on the console display. 6. Press the 2nd trigger button and HOLD IT DOWN while the exposures are taken. Note: There is a time delay of 10 seconds between exposures. You can release the 2nd trigger button during this 10 second period, then press it again to continue, but the minimum time between exposures will still be 10 seconds. If the tube overheats at some point, exposures will be inhibited until it cools down again. During the cooling period, the 2nd trigger button can be released; as soon as the display shows that the X-ray tube has sufficiently cooled, press the 2nd trigger button to continue. 7. When the warm-up procedure is finished, the message Tube OK normally appears on the console display. If persistent arcing occurred during the procedures, the message Too many spits appears on the console display.

These functions require simple selection of a menu choice from a display of options or values; confirm the choice by selecting VALID. Modification functions. These functions allow a displayed value or parameter to be changed by rotation of the console kV knob. When the required value or parameter is displayed, confirm the selection by selecting VALID. Calibration functions. Some calibration functions require the 2nd trigger button to be pressed in order to perform the calibration. WARNING

NEVER modify a Senographe 2000 D parameter value that has already been calibrated unless you have a specific reason. If you do, it will usually be necessary to enter the default parameter value and completely re-calibrate the generator or gantry for the affected parameter(s).

2-2.

Application and Installation modes

Throughout the service documentation, reference is made to application mode and installation mode. • Application mode. The normal operating mode; the Gantry enters application mode when it is powered up, regardless of previous settings. In application mode, the six function keys below the display window carry out the functions indicated by their symbols (focal spot, track, filter, etc.). For information on using the Console in application mode, refer to the Operator Manual.

Installation Menus

Installation Menus are special menus which allow specific Gantry or Generator installation procedures to be performed. To access installation menus from application mode, proceed as follows: 1. Enter installation mode (press the SETUP key

on the console once).

2. Change the position of the installation menu enable GENE CPU BOARD 400-PL3 switch (switch B1-8 on Generator CPU Board 400PL3). Note that the original position of the switch is not important. When the system is powered up it B1 automatically enters application mode with installa? tion menus disabled; the switch position at that time P1 P2 is memorized as the "installation-menu-disabled" position. 3. Two function keys are now labelled (on the display) as GENE and ARM. Select Gantry or Generator installation menus as follows: a. For Gantry installation menus: press the key labelled ARM, then press the VALID key. The two right-hand keys are now labelled INSTAL and MAINT. Press the INSTAL key to access installation menus (the MAINTenance menu is not available during installation). b. For Generator installation menus: press the key labelled GENE. The VALID key is not required. The two right-hand keys are now labelled INSTAL and MAINT.

Saved Parameters Checksum

Parameters resulting from installation or non-proprietary maintenance procedures are saved in memory zones whose contents are not lost when the Gantry is switched off. To perform the saved parameter checksum function CKSUM, select either SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/ CKSUM/CKSUM (for Generator parameters) or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL/CKSUM/CKSUM (for Gantry parameters). You can now return to application mode without receiving a checksum error message. It is not mandatory to do a checksum each time you leave a menu. There is no risk of losing data if you switch off the DMR displaying a checksum error.

2-6.

Re-loading Default (Initial) Parameters

WARNING

These functions are not normally used after the Senographe 2000 D has left the factory. To re-load generator or gantry default parameters (prior to any installation or calibration procedures), use the appropriate CLEAR menu. This executes a software power-up comparable to the first hardware power-up of the generator or gantry. When the Generator CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to application mode (to return to installation mode, you must change the position of the installation menu enable switch again). When the Gantry CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to the gantry installation entry level (SETUP/ ARM/VALID). After use of the CLEAR menu, a CHECKSUM ERROR message is displayed. All generator or gantry calibration procedures must be performed, followed by a CKSUM to enable use of the new parameters. WARNING

The generator CLEAR menu causes the recorded thermal condition of critical components (tube, tube housing, generator, etc.) to be reset to the cold condition. This means that an excessive temperature rise at the time that this menu is used may not be immediately detected by the software thermal protection. CFG001.FM

Representation of Numeric Parameters

When displayed on the console, most numeric values appear in the form of real numbers in scientific notation floating point format with four significant figures, as shown in the examples below: -1.250E+3 (= -1250.00); +4.345E-1 (= 0.4345) +1.000E+0 (= 1.000)

2-8.

Display of Parameter Values

To display parameter values on the Control Console, access the calibration menu for the procedure that computes the parameter. Typically this is done at a menu choice between CALIB and PARAM. Select PARAM to display the parameter value. If the calibration procedure computes more than one parameter, turn the kV dial

to display the

parameters in sequence.

2-9.

Modification and entry of values

At menu points allowing entry of a measured value or modification of a parameter, there are two possible selections: NEXT and VALID. Select NEXT to allow the first character to be entered (by changing the displayed character). Select NEXT again to enter the following character, and so on. Use the kV dial

to change the character being entered. Numeric or alpha-numeric characters are

displayed, according to the function. Parameters are entered or modified in scientific notation form (see above). Select VALID when all characters are correctly entered. If you make a mistake, select NEXT repeatedly until you arrive at the faulty value, then correct it by rotating the kV dial. To exit the modification routine, press SETUP once. Note: Pressing the VALID key is effective ONLY when the entire value, including exponent, is displayed. This means that if you correct a digit after making a mistake, as described above, you must press the NEXT key repeatedly until the entire parameter value is visible before you can enter the new value using the VALID key.

2-10. The DISP Parameter •

The DISP (display) parameter is provided to aid service procedures; it controls the display of certain parameters after an exposure. When it is set to YES, the two groups of exposure parameters shown in the table below are displayed alternately: Group 1:

kV

mAs

mA

Time

Composition Breast composition Thickness: Breast thickness in equivalent cm of plexiglass. Prep dose: Dose for pre-shot (returned by IDC) Prep kV: kV used for pre-shot Prep track: Track used for pre-shot Prep filter: Filter used for pre-shot Delta grid: Delta time (ms) from end of X-ray emission to grid U-turn To change the DISP parameter, access SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DISP, and select YES or NO. A CKSUM is NOT necessary because this parameter is not a saved parameter. When power is turned off, the value of DISP is lost and reverts to NO at the next power-up. Chapter 3

CONFIGURATION CHECK INFORMATION

Note: It is not normally necessary to set the configuration parameters listed here. They are set to their correct values in the factory, or by the link from the AWS. They are given here for convenience in the event that you suspect that they have been changed, perhaps during trouble-shooting.

3-1. •

Set Date and Time

The Generator clock is updated automatically by the AWS each time the DMR subsystem is powered up (either alone or when the complete system is powered up). It is not normally necessary to change it manually.

Note: After a Generator CLEAR operation, the current date and the date of the last installation mode access are both set to the Generator software release date; the time is set to 0:00:00. The current date and time are updated at the next power up. • The clock is used for the following functions: - Thermal protection cooling algorithms, whether or not the generator is turned on. - Recording dates and times in the error log. - Recording the date of last access to installation mode. • If it is necessary to change the date or time on the Gantry manually, note the following points: - Dates (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DATE) are entered in the form DD/ MM/YY; e.g., for February 14th, 2001, you must enter 14/02/01. - Time (menu path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/HOUR) is entered in 24-hour format; e.g., for 3:13:27 pm you must enter 15:13:27.

CHECK GENERATOR AND GANTRY DC SUPPLY VOLTAGES

6-1.

Check generator DC supply voltages.

1. On generator CPU board 400-PL3, measure the DC voltage between TP110 and TP111 (GND). It should be in the range +5.1±0.05 V. If necessary, adjust the voltage: WARNING

The adjustment is made using the potentiometer located on the low voltage power supply unit (on the rear of the board mounting plate). To avoid any risk of electric shock, DO NOT TOUCH any of the other components on the supply (later models are protected by a transparent cover). 2. On generator interface board 400-PL2, measure DC voltage (+12 V nominal) between PT3 and PT4. The voltage should be in the range +11.5 to +12.5 VDC. 3. On generator interface board 400-PL2, measure DC voltage (-12 V nominal) between PT5 and PT4. The voltage should be in the range -11.5 to -12.5 VDC. Note: Voltages measured in steps 2 and 3 above depend on the +5 V adjustment mentioned in step 1.

6-2.

Check gantry DC supply voltages.

1. On gantry power board 800-PL1, measure DC voltage (+27 V nominal) between terminals 3 and 1 (GND) of connector TB1. The voltage should be in the range +26 to +34 VDC. 2. On gantry CPU board 800-PL3, measure DC voltage (+5 V nominal) between TP110 and TP111 (GND). The voltage should be in the range +4.75 to +5.25 VDC. Note: Unlike the +5 V supply on the generator CPU board, the +5 V supply on the gantry CPU board cannot be adjusted.

7.

CHECK MAINS DISTRIBUTION RACK INPUT

If the above check for generator voltages was correct, this confirms that the correct voltage has been selected for the generator input voltage. Before switching power to the Mains Distribution Rack, check that the same voltage has been selected for the Mains Distribution Rack transformer input tap.

You must complete these fields, even if the information is the same as that already entered (this is necessary to allow the possibility of images being sent to one remote host and committed to another). 4. On completion, click the Save button to update and close the window. Note: Network Remote Hosts are not updated in the /etc/inet/hosts file, but are found in the file /export/ home/sdc/Prefs/SdCRHosts. For this reason, it is not possible to use ping, telnet, spray and similar commands using the hostname. The internet address must be used instead. For example, to ping the MR operator's console from the workstation, do not use /usr/sbin/ping MR01_OC0. Instead, use the internet address, e.g., /usr/sbin/ping 192.9.200.1. Therefore, though it is not mandatory to declare hosts in the /etc/hosts file when using the SdC NET protocol, we recommend you to do it in any case. 5-2-1. Declaring a Dicom IC (independent console) A new protocol has been implemented in order to solve some problems with the IC current software Release 5.5 (echo, delay, repetition and inversion times display being multiplied by 1000).

IP Addresses

This section explains how to change the Senographe 2000 D Hostname, IP address, subnet mask, and other parameters Each Senographe 2000 D system is given a default IP address during the factory check process. To avoid conflicts (such as IP packet colliision) inside the customer network, this Senographe 2000 D IP address should normally be changed at installation time to the recommended address given below. For the RWS, printer(s), archiving device, etc., refer to their respective documentation. ! Notice: If the system is connected to an external network (HIS/RIS, hospital network, etc.) the standard recommended IP addresses may not be applicable. Suitable addresses will be defined by the GE HNS consultant and the hospital network administrator. Standard recommended IP addresses: Senographe 2000 D: 192.1.1.100 RWS 192.1.1.110 Printer 192.1.1.120 Archiver 192.1.1.130 DMPU (CAD) 192.1.1.140 If more than one S2000 D is connected to the network, use adresses 192.1.1.101, 192.1.1.102, etc. Similarly, if other devices are duplicated, add 1 to the recommended base address for each additional device.

PREREQUISITES

The AWS must have been correctly installed and configured. The local Network must have been correctly installed, and the Network Printers to be declared must have been correctly installed and connected to the Network. Make sure the following information is available before starting to install your printer: • Internet address and Hostname of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained either from the Network Administrator of the Hospital, or from the Needs assesment Form completed by the Network Champions. • Application Entity Title (A.E.T.) of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained from the Printer Supplier. • Dicom Port number of Network printer(s). This information can be obtained from the Printer Supplier.

5.

PROCEDURE

5-1.

Test the network connection to the printer

Once a network printer is connected to the network and set with an IP address, it should respond to TCP/IP messages from another Host on the network (e.g., the AWS). Before declaring a printer on the AWS, check the following: • Log in as root on the AWS: console login: root Password: operator (factory loaded default root password) • Type in the following command: /usr/sbin/ping e.g.: /usr/sbin/ping 192.100.9.5 is alive Note: Do not enter leading zeros in any of the four numeric fields separated by dots of the IP address. e.g., do not type in 192.100.009.005, but type 192.100.9.5 instead.

The "alive" answer from the system means that the Network printer can be reached from the Acquisition Workstation system through the network. If the system displays "unknown host", your printer may not be correctly declared on the network. If the system displays "Network unreachable", you probably have given the printer an IP address incompatible with your Review Workstation's IP address. Check that they belong to the same network, 192.100.9.X, for example. • Log out

! Notice: IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure accurate measurement: • For ALL Digital Multimeters: The Autorange function MUST NOT be used, as it can lead to severe measurement errors (>40% !!). • For ALL Digital Multimeters: The Relative Measurement function MUST NOT be used to reset to zero the natural offset displayed when there is no current measured. The offset is automatically reset to zero by the principle of the rms measurement. • Measurement configurations to be used are as follows: - Fluke 8060: used with 20 A shunt in the 200 mV AC range (shunt reference: 80J10). - Fluke 87: no shunt, in the 10 A AC range.

3.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION

In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during this calibration procedure, the resulting parameter values might become so unreasonable as to render the X-ray tube filament supply circuit unusable. This can show up as an error message during power up, and thus inhibit use of the calibration software. If this happens, the only way to cancel the error is to manually re-enter the default parameter values (see section 10 for default parameter values) and switch the Senographe DMR off and back on again before again attempting a calibration.

4. •

PREREQUISITES If not already done, carry out any procedure(s) specified as Prerequisites for this Job Card in Job Card Calibration Interactions.

5.

CALIBRATION OF HEATER CURRENT SCALE FACTOR

The objective is to determine the scale factor K and fixed offset VOF between the X-ray tube filament current command from the software and the real filament current value obtained. Each tube track has its own filament supply circuit, so this calibration procedure is to be performed for each of the two tracks. DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE K = +9.450E+0 (9.45) AND VOF = +0.000E+0 (0.0).

5-1.

Preparation

1. Turn the Senographe DMR OFF. 2. Open the HV converter control signal inputs by disconnecting flat cable WG8 from generator command board 400-PL1 connector XJ7. This eliminates any possibility of energy build-up in the HV unit CAL001.FM

Connect the HV unit HV cable adaptor to the DMR HV tank. Connect the true r.m.s. AC ammeter in series with the filament being calibrated on the HV unit/cable adaptor; and place a jumper on the other track (see illustrations 1 and 2). Note: 1. See “important note” in section 2 to ensure an accurate measurement. 2. Keep the other filament connected in order to avoid error messages when the Senographe DMR is switched on.

If the results are out of tolerance, repeat the calibration procedure in section 5-2 and the check procedure in section 53 for the same X-ray tube track. Note: Performing the calibration procedure once is normally sufficient for correct calibration. If it is necessary to perform the calibration procedure more than once, the measured values of current for the two points (4.0 and 5.0 A) should become increasingly accurate. If not, the procedure is probably not being followed correctly. 10. Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. Note down the calculated values of scale factor K and offset VOF. The two values can be displayed alternately by rotating the console kV dial. CAUTION

If the value of K is less than +8.000E+0 (8.0), either the calibration procedure was done incorrectly or there is a hardware defect. 11. Repeat the calibration and check procedures on the other tube track, if necessary. 12. Perform a ”CKSUM”, then turn the system off. 13. Reconnect flat cable WG8 to generator command board 400-PL1 connector XJ7; Remove the high voltage cable adapter. Remember to secure the HV ring Allen screw, to insure proper ground continuity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION

In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during this calibration procedure, the resulting parameter values might become so unreasonable as to render the X-ray tube focal bias voltage supply circuit unusable. This can show up as an error message during power up, and thus inhibit use of the calibration software. If this happens, the only way to cancel the error is to manually re-enter the default parameter values (see section 5 for these values) and switch the DMR off and back on again before attempting to repeat the calibration.

CALIBRATION OF X-RAY TUBE HEATER CURRENT

The objective is to determine the X-ray tube heater current required to produce the desired X-ray tube anode current at a given kV value. The calibration procedure must be performed on each of the four focal size/track combinations. Four repetitions of the calibration procedure are therefore necessary. Three exposures are taken automatically at different kV values. Using the results, the software calculates the necessary parameters to determine the X-ray tube heater current needed to produce the desired Xray tube anode current for all possible kV values.

Preparation

Place a lead cover on the top of the image receptor to protect the detector panel from excessive Xray doses.

CAUTION

Before proceeding to make exposures, be sure that the detector panel has been protected from excessive X–ray doses as instructed (by placing a lead cover on the top of the image receptor). 3. Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO 2, EXPOSURE NO 3, and CALIBRATION END appear in sequence on the console display. The software automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations. Note: 1.Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO WARM appears on the console display when tube temperature is too high for taking the next exposure. It is not necessary to hold the 2nd trigger button down while waiting for the tube to cool. However, do not exit the calibration menu while waiting. As soon as the TOO WARM message disappears, continue the calibration by pressing and holding the 2nd trigger button. 2. In case of arcing, the software re-attempts the same exposure automatically. 3. The calibration procedure includes an exposure at 40 kV. If for some reason this exposure is impossible to perform (e.g. excessive arcing), tube warm-up may be necessary. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations. 5. Carry out the following steps only if the warning message Limited Ich (limited heater current) is displayed on the console at the end of the tube current calibration. This message indicates that one or more filament heating current values were calculated above 5.6 A (but internally limited to 5.600 A when stored in memory); the message is only a warning and is not associated with an error code. Proceed as follows: a. Access the DMR installation menu to read the heater parameters with the LF/MO combination (the path is: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/HEATER/LF/MO/Param/I-Value). b. Explore the 28 kV/A combinations; note the kV values showing a current value equal to 5.600 A. c. Repeat steps a and b for the LF/RH combination (there is a very low probability of current limitation occurring in small focus). d. Return to Application Mode (press SETUP). e. Set the DMR for 2-point exposure technique at 60 mAs. Make an exposure for each kV point detected at 5.600 A (LF/MO and LF/RH). Allow at least 60 seconds between each exposure. f. Repeat steps a and b: If no more kV points are set to 5.600 A, the problem has been resolved. If one or more points still show a current value of 5.600 A, repeat Calibration Job Card Heater Current Scale Factor, then restart this procedure from step a above. If the problem recurs, replace the X-ray tube

1. With the arm at 0° (i.e. X-ray tube above the image receptor), bring the compression paddle into contact once again with the force detector. Increase the compression until maximum force is reached (i.e. compression cannot be further increased). Read the force detector measurement and check that it is within ±1 daN of the maximum compression force chosen in the SETUP/MEDICAL/FORCE menu. 2. Repeat the above check with the arm rotated to 180° (i.e. X-ray tube below the image receptor). Note: The maximum compression force must never exceed 30 daN. This limit must always be checked after any maintenance (preventive or corrective) of the compression assembly to insure patient safety.

CALIBRATION OF BREAST THICKNESS MEASUREMENT

The objective is to calibrate the breast thickness measurement. Since the compression paddle and its drive train, as well as the image receptor or magnification device undergo deflection when under compression, a compensation factor must be calculated to correct for changes in compression force at a fixed breast thickness. Two calibrations must be done, one for contact mode and one for magnification mode.

5-1.

Prepare the DMR for the calibration.

Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on generator CPU board 400-PL3). Note: This must be done only if the DMR has been switched off since the last access to SETUP/GENE/ INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

CALIBRATION OF X-RAY TUBE TILT

The objective is to determine the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position. This calibration is done by taking an exposure with the field coverage depth limited by the anode geometry (and not by the rear collimator blade), measuring this field coverage depth, and entering this depth into the DMR, which can then calculate the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position. ! Notice: DO NOT perform Tube Tilt Calibration unless it is strictly necessary (e.g., after tube replacement or when there is clear evidence of bad calibration parameters). BEFORE performing Tube Tilt Calibration, clear all detector calibrations (select Service desktop/Calibration/Detector ; then selectClear Calibrations and perform the clear procedure as indicated on the screen). AFTER performing Tube Tilt Calibration, it is essential to perform the following CAL Job Cards: - Bad Pixel Calibration. - Detector Gain Calibration (for all techniques). - Conversion Factor Measurement. - AOP Calibration.

DESCRIPTION

The calibration function automatically calculates and displays measurements indicating the position of the X-ray beam in relation to the detector. It uses these measurements to determine whether the calibration was successful. If so, no further action is required. If an error is signalled, you must use the displayed values to determine the source of the problem and make appropriate adjustments before repeating the calibration. Two checks are required: • Collimator Blade Parallelism. Use the displayed angles to check for correct parallelism of the two pairs of collimator blades; adjust the collimator position if necessary. • Lateral Centering of X-ray Beam. Use the displayed values to check for correct positioning of the beam on the detector; adjust the beam position if necessary. ! Notice: The Collimator Blade Parallelism check must be completed, and any errors corrected, before making the Lateral Centering of X-ray Beam check.

BAD PIXEL CALIBRATION

5-1.

Description

A Bad Pixel is an Image Receptor cell which has a response curve very different from that of other cells subject to the same dose, even after flat field correction. It thus provides no useful information, and appears as a white or black pixel on the image. Bad Pixel Calibration is a process which uses a number of acquisitions to identify such cells and store their positions in a Bad Pixel Map. The bad pixel correction process, applied to acquired images, uses the map to replace the level read from each bad pixel with the mean level of neighboring cells. ! Notice: It is important that the phantom used in these procedures, and all surfaces in the beam (detector, tube, etc.) are very clean and free from imperfections, which can affect the calibration.

Select Bad pixel and Start; follow the on-screen instructions to run the calibration. 4. The IDC automatically acquires 16 offset images (no X-rays) and computes results. 5. When the offset acquisitions and calculations are complete, you are requested to install the Flat Field phantom and make four exposures. The parameters are set automatically (Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 56 mAs). Release the Prep and Expose buttons between each exposure. 6. You are requested to make a low dose exposure. The parameters are set automatically (Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 5.6 mAs). 7. You are requested to make a high dose exposure using the following parameters: (Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 80 mAs). 8. The IDC uses the acquired images to create the bad pixel map which will be used for subsequent image correction. The bad pixel results are displayed on the screen in the form of a table indicating Pass or Fail for all tested specifications.

Errors

Exposure abort during calibration. If the X-ray exposure is aborted during bad pixel calibration, the buzzer sounds and the calibration is terminated at the end of the current set of exposures. The calibration must be re-started. If any failure is reported, check to see if the collimator blades are within the detector FOV. If so, correct the problem and try again. If an Isolated bad pixels failure is reported, check detector temperature and repeat the calibration when the temperature is correct. If a Cluster or Bad Columns failure is reported, check the Flat Field phantom for imperfections such as scratches or dust, and repeat the calibration after correction. When a Bad Columns failure is reported, also check that the floppy disk supplied with the detector was correctly loaded when the Image Receptor was installed, as instructed in the D/R Job Card Image Receptor. It contains bad column information specific to the detector.

DETECTOR GAIN CALIBRATION

5-1.

Presentation

The goal of gain calibration is to compensate for differences in pixel responses and differences in electronic gain. This calibration makes the image of a flat uniform object look flat (flat field uniformity).

5-2.

Procedure

1. Open the Service Desktop; click the Calibration button and select Detector Gain Calibration. 2. Before starting the calibration, follow the on-screen instructions for pre-requisites. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the system: remove the Bucky or Breast Holder and remove the compression paddle. Install the flat field phantom (25 mm of lucite) on the Image Receptor. 4. You are requested to check that the collimator is in full FOV, and then to make an exposure for an image quality check. The IQ check technique and parameters are selected automatically). 5. If the check is successful you are requested to make four exposures for gain calibration. The system selects the calibration technique and parameters, as beforerh/rh but with a higher mAs value. 6. The system uses information from the four exposures to update the gain map; a message is displayed to indicate successful completion. 7. Repeat the procedure for each of the listed techniques.

CONVERSION FACTOR MEASUREMENT

5-1.

Description

The Conversion Factor is required for AOP (Automatic Optimization of Parameters) calculations. It is determined by using a dosimeter to measure the X-ray dose while acquiring an image. This value is compared with the brightness of the corrected image to give a Conversion Factor, used by the system to convert brightness to dose for all AOP-related calculations. The brightness and dose values are also sent to the AWS for the image quality tests.

5-2.

Procedure

1. Open the Service Desktop; click the Calibration button and select Detector/CF Measurement. 2. Before starting the calibration, follow the on-screen instructions for pre-requisites. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to run the calibration. You are asked to: - Remove the bucky or breast holder and remove the compression paddle. - Install the dosimeter support. - Install steel sheet for detector protection. - Place 5 cm of lucite on the dosimeter support and the dosimeter in the low position (SourceDosimeter distance = 622.5 mm). - Take an exposure (parameters set automatically: Rh/Rh; 30 kV; 56 mAs). - Read the dosimeter and enter the dose value (in microGray or mR). - Remove the dosimeter and steel sheet; take a second exposure with the same technique. 4. The IDC calculates the brightness level in the pre-defined region of interest.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this procedure is to verify that the Half-value layer of the X-ray beam is adequate to minimize patient breast dose, while not so excessive that contrast is lost in the resultant image. The tube yield is measured for all track/filter/focal spot combinations and the values used for skin dose computation. For each spectrum the HVL and tube Yield are determined and stored on the DMR, for use in the skin dose and Mean Glandular Dose evaluation. • The following techniques will be set automatically by the DMR Senographe:

PROCEDURE

! Notice: The dose values to be entered in the DMR menu must be expressed in mGy. - If your dosimeter displays dose values in mR, divide the reading by 114.2 to obtain mGy. - If your dosimeter displays dose values in µGy, divide the reading by 1000 to obtain mGy. Note that you must use the format x.xxx E+0 to enter a dose value x.xxx. 1. Ensure that paddle decompression at end of exposure is set to “NO”. In the DMR menu, set: MEDICAL/DECOMP/NO 2. Place the 19 cm x 23 cm compression paddle upside down as close as possible to the X-ray tube. 3. Remove the bucky or breast support; place the dosimeter support with steel protection plate on the image receptor. 4. Place the dosimeter with 6M chamber on the high position of the dosimeter support (the source-todosimeter distance SDD = 592mm). 5. Select the 9x9 collimator format; verify using the light beam that the 6M ionization chamber is fully in the beam. 6. In the HVL/Yield calibration menu on the DMR console, enter: SET UP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/DOSE /LF/MO/CALIB/0/CALIB 7. The DMR automatically selects the acquisition parameters (see table above). 8. Take the calibration exposure (press DMR exposure button) with no aluminum sheet on paddle, and read the dose value on the dosimeter. 9. Press Set Up once on DMR console, select Meas.D, enter the dose value E0 in mGy (see Notice above) and press Valid. 10. Press Set Up twice, and select 0.2. 11. Place 0.2 mm aluminum on top of the paddle; verify using the light beam that the aluminum sheet fully covers the ionization chamber field of view. 12. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with 0.2 mm aluminum 13. Press Set Up twice, and select 0.5 14. Place 0.5 mm aluminum on top of the paddle. Verify using light beam that the aluminum sheet fully covers the ionization chamber field of view. 15. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with 0.5 mm aluminum 16. Press Set Up twice, and press Calcul 17. Press Set Up, press Param, verify that the value is within the limits given below (Acceptable Values) 18. If the values are within limits, the DMR stores HVL and Yield values. If not, check the following and repeat the calibration: • Paddle is present, • Dosimeter is properly calibrated, • 6M probe is correctly placed in the high position of the dosimeter holder tool • Tube tilt and format are correctly calibrated, and probe is in the 9x9 field of view • Generator kV and mA are properly calibrated. If the calibration still fails, the tube must be replaced. 19. Repeat steps 6 through 18 for the other track/filter/focal spot combinations: LF/MoRh, LF/RhRh, SF/ MoMo, SF/MoRh and SF/RhRh techniques

AMBIENT LIGHT ESTIMATION

Conditions for ambient light estimation should be as close as possible to normal working conditions. Verify that the cart and monitor are oriented as they will be in normal use, and verify that the ambient light is at the level desired by the customer. If, as recommended, the room has a a light dimmer, use it to adjust the level as required. For more accurate measurement, a gray reference card should be used; if this is not available, the side of the monitor rear cover may be used as a substitute, as described below. 1. Set the RC1 for use as a light meter: a. Press # 9 on the RC1 to select the RC1 processor. b. Enter *10 to select the light measurement function. 2. Check that the light measurement units are set to cd/m2 (this is the ISO unit of luminance, and should be used for all procedures in this Job Card). To change the units proceed as follows: a. Press # 9 on the RC1 to select the RC1 processor. b. Enter *24 for direct access to the unit select function. c. Enter + or - to toggle the selected unit between cd/m2 (cd displayed) and foot lamberts (fL displayed). Note that 1 fL = 3.4 cd/m2. d. Enter *10 to return to the measurement function. 3. Position the reference surface (from which the ambient light will be measured) as closely as possible to the normal screen posiiton: • If the gray reference card p/n 2110360 is available, place it against (and parallel to) the monitor screen. • If no gray reference card is available, rotate the monitor left or right to 90°. The side of the monitor rear cover will be used as the reference surface. 4. Position the RC1 toward the reference card or the monitor cover, at about 300 mm distance , Make sure that no shadow (from yourself for example) can affect the measurement; record the measured light value ML (in cd/m2) shown on the RC1. 5. Calculate the ambient light level IA (in lux): IA = π x ML/RR, where RR is the Reflection Ratio of the surface used. The table shows RR and values for the reference card and the monitor cover.

PROCEDURE

5-1.

Presentation

The object of mAs non-linearity calibration is to compensate for the non-linearity of exposure delivered by the Generator at low mAs values, as used in AOP pre-exposure operations. This procedure measures pre-exposure linearity deviation, and stores a correction factor in the DMR menu, to be applied to the mAs value of all AOP exposures. The correction factor is automatically calculated as: MASPRE CORR = S100 / (25 x S4), where S100 and S4 are the signals measured in the 100 mAs image and the 4 mAs image respectively.

5-2.

Procedure

1. Remove the compression paddle and install the Flat Field Phantom on the Bucky. 2. From the DMR console menu, enter: SET UP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/APOLLO/CALIB/mAsPRE/CALIB. 3. Press CALIB. The 9x9 collimator format is automatically selected. 4. Press the DMR console acquisition button (not PREP button) and hold it down until the system has performed two acquisitions (about 20 seconds). Parameters for the two exposures are automatically set to MoMo/28 kV/4 mAs and MoMo/28 kV/100 mAs. 5. Press SETUP once, then press PARAM. 6. Verify that the value displayed for MASPRE CORR is within the limits given below (Acceptable values). 7. Perform a checksum from DMR console: GENE/INSTALL/CKSUM.

5-3. • •

Acceptable Values

The value displayed for MASPRE CORR should be within the limits 1.00 and 1.20. If it is outside this range, check the Generator calibration and repeat the calibration.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. To remove power from the complete system, switch off the external circuit breaker which connects the system to the hospital supply. There are two circuit breakers inside the Generator Cabinet, one for the Gantry and Generator, the other for the Cart and imaging equipment. Switching off one of these breakers removes power from only part of the system. Remember that the UPS will continue to supply power to parts of the Cart and imaging equipment until it is shut down. NEVER switch off the UPS manually (risk of data loss). NEVER switch off power to the Conditioner except in emergency (risk of damage to the Detector if the correct conditions of temperature and humidity are not maintained).

•

• • •

WARNING

In normal operation (circuit breakers closed): Power is present in the Generator Cabinet, MDR, and AWS Cart at all times, even after the AWS, UPS, and other components have shut down. Cart components remain powered by the UPS for about two minutes after switch off. The 230 V supply to the Conditioner the UPS, and the Light Box is maintained at all times.

PROCEDURE

This Job Card provides check lists for confirmation of the correct operation of power up and power down sequences, and for the steady state conditions to be expected with power on or off. • Refer to the Power Supply Schematic diagram overleaf for an overview of power connections. • In normal operation, system power switches are used as follows: Power comes from the hospital supply circuit breaker to the Generator Circuit Breaker and to a circuit breaker in the MDR (the Main Distribution Rack; at the top of the Generator Cabinet), in parallel. Both circuit breakers are normally left ON. All subsystem power switches (items in the Cart, Conditioner, etc.) are normally left ON. The system is normally switched ON using the ON switch (I) on the Gantry Console. The system is normally switched OFF by clicking the System Off button in the AWS Browser window. When switching off, wait for complete system and UPS shut down (about two minutes). The Gantry and Generator can be switched OFF without affecting components in the AWS cart by pressing the OFF switch (STOP) on the Gantry Console. MDR Breaker

BATTERY CAPACITY RE-CALIBRATION

About once a year, it may be desirable to re-calibrate the battery capacity indicator. The procedure, including battery recharge, takes about one hour ! Notice: It may not be possible to start this procedure immediately after the function check described above, because it requires the battery charge to be 100% of capacity. .Proceed as follows: 1. From the Service Desktop, click the Diagnostics button, then the UPS button. 2. To prevent the system from being shut down during the calibration process, select Configuration/ Event Actions, and then the UPS Battery is Discharged event; remove the check mark from the Shutdown Server box. 3. Note that the calibration process will not start if the battery charge is less than 100%. To display Battery Capacity (in place of Run Time Remaining), select Configuration/Monitoring Preferences, and select the parameter to be displayed in the left hand graphical bar of the PowerChute interface. 4. Start the calibration process by selecting Diagnostics/Initiate run Time Calibration. 5. Once started, the calibration process continues until battery capacity falls to 25% (the time from 100% to 25% is about 10 minutes). With the AWS system powered off and power applied to the UPS, the battery takes 45-60 minutes to recharge. 6. Before returning the system to normal operation, you must ensure that it will be shut down if battery capacity is low: - EITHER: In the PowerChute interface menu, select Configuration/Event Actions, and select the UPS Battery is Discharged event; click the Shutdown Server box to restore the check mark. - OR: Log in as root in a command window; execute the command ups stop, then ups start.

GENERATOR TESTING

The objective is to check quickly the generator kV, mA and mAs calibrations, which have already been done in the factory.

5-1.

Set up generator for testing.

1. Configure the DMR for the following exposure: - Mode manual (2-point) - Focal spot: large - Track: Mo - Filter: Mo - mAs: 60 (lower mAs value may give inaccurate measurements) - HV: 22 kV 2. Activate display of parameters following an exposure by selecting SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/ CONFIG/DISP/YES on the console (see Job Card CFG 001 ). Return to application mode. 3. Connect the digital mAs meter to kV mA board 701-PL1 (on HV tank unit 701) between terminals MES_MA_POS and MES_MA_NEG. Disconnect the jumper that is normally between these same two terminals. 4. Set the mAs meter to current (mA) measurement. 5. Protect the detector with 2.5 cm of plexiglass. 6. Open New Patient in the Browser, and take 5 exposures at approximately 20 second intervals, incrementing the HV by 2 kV each time (i.e., 22 - 24 - 26 - 28 - 30 kV). 7. Take 5 more exposures at the same interval, leaving the HV set at 30 kV. 8. The X-ray tube current value displayed on the console (Idisplay) must be 100 mA ± 5 mA AND should agree with the value read on the mAs meter (Imeasure) ± 5%. If Idisplay is not equal to Imeasure then perform Calibration Job Card X-ray Tube mA Measurement, followed by Job Card X-ray Tube Heater Current. VF005.FM

9. Take 2 exposures at 40 kV and 50 mAs at an interval of 30 seconds. No arcing should be detected. If arcing is detected, perform the procedure given in the IST Job Card Automatic X-ray Tube Warm-up. 10. Reconfigure the Senographe DMR to 30 kV and 25 mAs. Take one exposure for each of the three following focal spot/track combinations and verify the expected X-ray tube current reading on the console display: SMALL FOCAL SPOT/MO TRACK => I = 40 mA ± 2 mA SMALL FOCAL SPOT/RH TRACK => I = 40 mA ± 2 mA LARGE FOCAL SPOT/RH TRACK => I = 75 mA ± 4 mA 11. Disconnect the mAs meter from the DMR and reconnect the jumper on kV mA board 701-PL1. 12. Verify kVp using a non-invasive kVp meter and, if needed, perform Job Card CAL 005 (Calibration of kV Scale Factor). This step may be mandatory, when required by local regulations.

6.

GANTRY TESTING

The objective is to quickly check the basic functions of the gantry. Note that the following functions are tested by the software during each power-up sequence: - Filter holder rotation - Lateral, front and rear collimator blade movement - X-ray tube housing movement - Compression paddle movement to home position - Column movement limit stops - Coherency between focal spot size, magnification and X-ray tube housing angulation - Grid movement - Generator-gantry communications link - Gantry CPU board

6-1.

Check gantry readout.

Immediately following the power-up sequence, the gantry readout should indicate the X-ray format.

6-2.

Check column movement.

1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four sets of column up/down control buttons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of column). 2. Move column to its upper and lower limits. Optical sensors should stop movement. If optical sensors have failed, mechanical safety stops halt movement. Total one-way movement time (going either up or down) between upper and lower limits should be 16 ±2 seconds. This time includes initial acceleration, which lasts 3 seconds.

6-3.

Check arm rotation.

1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four arm rotation control buttons are operational (check each button for release and re-locking of arm rotation). 2. Rotate arm through its full range of ±180°. Check in several positions that electro-brake is sufficient, by manual action on the handles. 3. Check alignment of angle markings at 0°.

6-4.

Check light centering device.

Press one of the light centering device activation buttons. The light centering device should light for 30 Chapter 5

seconds.

6-5.

Check format control.

Check that repeated pressing of each of the two format control pushbuttons, gives the sequence: 1) light centering device lights; 2) first format reduction; 3) second format reduction; 4) full format.

6-6.

Check magnification sensors.

1. With magnification device removed, the gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.0. 2. Install the magnification device into the lower, middle and upper holes successively. The gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.5, 1.8, and 1.9, respectively.

6-7.

Check tube housing arm detents.

1. Activate the tube housing arm locking lever and rotate the tube housing arm to its ± 15° and ± 27° detents. When tube housing arm is locked in each of these four positions, the error message Incorrect X_Ray Incidence should appear on the console display. 2. Rotate the tube housing arm so that it is "floating" between detents. After five seconds, the error message Tube Housing Arm Unlocked should appear on the console display and Arm Unlocked should appear on the gantry readout.

6-8.

Check paddle compression.

1. Verify that both sets of compression/decompression pedals and the manual compression knobs located on the paddle holder all function correctly (i.e., the paddle moves up or down in response to each command). 2. Use the mammo compression scale placed between the cassette holder and the compression paddle to check calibration of the compression force display on the gantry readout. Measure one point at 5 daN and one point at 15 daN. The value on the gantry readout must agree within ±1 daN. If it does not, perform Job Card CAL 006 (Calibration of Compression Force Detector). Note: If the recommended compression measurement tool is not available, this verification can be done by lowering the paddle close to the top surface of the cassette holder, installing the magnification device in the upper pair of holes, and connecting a spring dynamometer (calibrated from 0 to 15 kg) between the compression paddle and the magnification device.

6-9.

Check breast thickness measurement.

1. Install the bucky and place 10 mm of plexiglass in the center of the bucky. 2. Lower the compression paddle into contact with the plexiglass. 3. Slowly increase compression force on the plexiglass while watching the breast thickness display on the gantry readout. The displayed value should remain in the range 10 mm ±3 mm for any value of compression force (as displayed on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg. 4. Replace 10 mm of plexiglass with 50 mm of plexiglass and repeat the above check. Now the displayed value should remain in the range 50 mm ±3 mm for any value of compression force (as displayed on the gantry readout) between 5 and 15 kg. 5. If either or both of the above checks does not give a satisfactory result, perform Job Card CAL 007 (Calibration of Breast Thickness Measurement).

FLATFIELD TESTS

5-1.

Objective

The flatfield test measures the ability of the detector to reproduce the image of a flat and homogeneous phantom. The ideal response of the detector is a uniform image with no large or small defects, with no pixel having a signal much higher or much weaker than its neighbours, and with a uniform signal-to-noise ratio. The quantities to look for are thus: - Brightness uniformity: the magnitude of low frequency structures (large shapes). - High frequency modulation: the magnitude of high frequency structures (small defects). - Number and density of bad pixels: the number of pixels having signals significantly different from those of their neighboors (new bad pixels appeared since the latest bad pixel calibration), and the density of these bad pixels. - Signal-to-noise ratio uniformity: the variation of signal-to-noise ratio over the image. A test failure indicates incorrect test conditions (phantom position, cleanliness), or an artifact causing inconsistency between the current image and the associated gain map. Such an inconsistency means that either the gain calibration needs to be updated, or the current image contains a defect which must be identified (see section 7). Possible sources of artifacts include the tube output window, the mirror, the Molybdnenum filter, the collimator blades, and the detector.

Method

The flatfield image is analyzed by measuring the mean signal level, the noise, and the number of new bad pixMeasurements made in els in a moving analysis box (a 20 mm x 20 mm region a moving analysis box of interest scanning the flatfield image with a 10 mm overlap). The total number of new bad pixels is summed over the whole image. The following checks are performed: - Brightness uniformity (BNU): compute maximum deviation of the mean signals measured in each ROI. - High frequency modulation (HFM): measure the minimum signal–to–noise from all ROIs - New bad pixels: detect and count all bad pixels in the whole image - New bad ROIs: count number of regions of interest containing more than 2 bad pixels - Signal–to–noise ratio (SNR) uniformity: compute maximum deviation of the SNR measured in each ROI.

6.

PROCEDURE

1. From the Browser, click on the QAP button, then select Flat Field Test. 2. Follow the on–screen instructions. You are asked to: e. Remove the bucky or breast holder and the compression paddle, and to place the flatfield phantom on the image receptor. f. Verify using the light beam that the collimator is in full field of view. g. Verify that the tube arm angle is 0 degrees. h. Make two exposures using the parameters set automatically (Large focal spot; Mo/Mo; 26 kV; 200 mAs). 3. Use the middle-button mouse function to adjust the image for optimum viewing conditions. Suggested starting values are WC = 3000 and WL =4500. 4. The system calculates and displays test results in a format similar to that shown below.

CORRECTIVE ACTIONS IN CASE OF FAILURE

7-1.

Brightness Uniformity test fails

Typical causes are: 1. The flatfield phantom does not cover the full FOV; Brightness non-uniformity: check the position of the flatfield phantom. The flatSignificant signal field phantom must exceed the detector field of view variation detected in the image in every direction. 2. A collimator blade is within the FOV; make an acquisition in the Medical application in the same conditions as the flatfield test (flatfield phantom, MoMo, 26 kV, 200 mAs) and verify in the raw image that the X-ray beam field covers the detector field of view by adjusting the contrast such that window width is less than 200. If collimator blades are visible at the borders, check tube tilt, collimator centering, parallelism and format calibrations 3. The gain map is no longer valid; calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, move the phantom slightly and run the test again.

7-2.

High Frequency Modulation test fails

Typical causes are: 1. The detector temperature is not stabilized; check that the system has not been powered on too recently. 2. The gain map is no longer valid; calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the test again.

7-3.

BadPixels or Bad ROI test fails

7-3-1. Typical causes are: 1. Dust is present on the flatfield phantom or the image receptor ; ensure that the phantom and the image receptor are completely clean and run the test again. 2. The flatfield phantom contains inclusions or is scratched; - Run the flatfield test, select bad pixel graphical window, locate the bad ROIs or bad pixels. - Move the phantom, run the flatfield test again and note whether the bad ROIs or pixels have moved. If you have difficulty in observing a moving spot, repeat the test in application mode. After making an exposure, adjust the viewing contrast to make the spot visible. Then move the phantom slightly, make a second exposure, and switch the display from one image to the other to observe any movement in the spot of interest. If the bad pixels move, there are some inclusions inside the phantom. Obtain a new phantom and run the test again.

3. The collimator is visible in the field of view; - Run the flatfield test, select bad pixel graphical window, locate the bad ROIs or bad pixels. Check that they are not concentrated on the borders of the image. If they are, check tube tilt, centering, parallelism and format calibrations.

4. Detector response is unequal at some rows, columns, or groups of pixels; Visible bad row or bad column - Check that there is no visible bad row or bad column in the flatfield image displayed in the IQ tool viewer (use the mouse middle button to adjust contrast and brightness such that window width WW is less than 200). If necessary, take an image in the Medical Application and use the AWS display tools. - If there is a distinct bad row or a bad column (exactly parallel to the detector matrix), or a distinct cluster, calibrate bad pixels. If the bad row, bad column, or or cluster is detected in the bad pixel calibration and is above the Upper Specification Limit, the detector must be changed. If not, calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the test again. If gain calibration succesfully corrects bad rows or columns, use the ACR phantom to check the correction. Place the ACR phantom so as to partially cover the suspect rows or columns (e.g., to the left or top of the detector) and make an acquisition at MoMo/26 kV/100 mAs/no grid, so that the detector is saturated outside the area of the phantom. Verify in the raw image that the rows or columns do not appear again in the phantom area. If they do appear, contact your OLC; it is likely that the detector must be changed. 7-3-2. Other possible causes are : 1. During the last gain calibration, dust was present (on the flatfield phantom, image receptor, mirror, or filter), or the flatfield phantom contained inclusions or scratches; verify that the bad pixels do not move with the phantom and that they persist after careful cleaning of phantom, image receptor, mirror, and Mo filter. Calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, move the phantom slightly, and run the test again. 2. Dust is present on the light beam alignment mirror or on the Mo filter; clean the mirror and Mo filter without direct contact and run the test again. 3. Metallic particles have been deposited on the tube output window; tilt and move the tube and verify in the image or in the bad pixel graphical window that the bad pixels have moved after the tube movement. If you are sure that particles are present on the tube output window, change the tube and perform the resulting calibrations. before repeating the test.

Signal–to–Noise Ratio uniformity fails

Typical causes are: 1. The X-ray beam is badly centered; carry out the CAL Job Cards for Tube Tilt Calibration, X–ray Beam Alignment Calibration, and Collimator Format Calibration. 2. The detector sensitivity is not uniform; locate in the graphical window the area having a poor SNR (low mean signal or high standard deviation). Calibrate gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the test again. If the SNR uniformity result is still above the Upper Specification Limit, call your OLC for a possible detector replacement.

TEST DESCRIPTION

5-1.

ACR Phantom

The phantom used in this procedure is a block of plexiglass containing 16 cells. Each cell simulates an anatomical structure which may be found in breast tissue. The plexiglass gives attenuation equivalent to a breast of average density compressed to a thickness of 45 mm. Starting from the top left hand corner, as shown in the illustration, the cells are of three types: 1. Fibres. Six cells represent fibrous calcifications; they contain fibers with sections from 1.56 mm to 0.40 mm. 2. Specks (Calcifications). Five cells represent groups of specks or micro–calcifications, with sizes from 0.54 mm to 0.16 mm. 3. Masses. Five cells represent tumors or masses, with sizes from 2 mm to 0.25 mm; each has a different attenuation.

5-2.

ACR Score

The ACR Score check program obtains and displays an image of the phantom. After suitable adjustment of the viewing parameters, the user notes the visibility of the object in each cell, using a three-point scale of 1, 0.5, or 0. For each cell, score: - 1 If the object (fiber, mass, or group of six specks) is completely visible. - 0.5 If the object is partially visible, according to the following guidelines; Fibres; More than half of the fibre is visible. Masses; The mass does not appear circular, but is visible. Specks; At least two specks are visible - 0 For all other cases, VF009.FM

PROCEDURE

1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Install the Bucky, with compression paddle. Place the ACR phantom on the Bucky, against the chest wall side and laterally centered. Lightly compress the phantom with the compression paddle. Verify that the collimator is in full FOV and that the tube arm angle is 0 degrees. Enter the Phantom IQ test. From the Browser, select: Tools Menu/Service Desktop/Image Quality/ New Acquisition/Phantom IQ. 6. The system applies suitable parameters. Make an exposure and display the image. 7. The image is displayed with standard parameters which may need adjusting for your system. Press the right mouse button to display a two-item menu which allows you to select the middle button function. Use it either to control brightness and contrast (WL changes with vertical movement and WW changes with horizontal movement) or to obtain the magnifying glass function. As a rough guide, it is suggested that the contrast should be adjusted to obtain an on-screen displayed value for WW of less than 200 for good viewing. 8. Obtain the best viewing conditions for an accurate assessment of the score (if necessary complete the test and repeat it with the phantom in a better position) and observe the 16 cells in the phantom image. Note the ACR score (1, 0.5, or 0, as described in the Test Description above) for each cell, and total the scores for each type of cell (fibers, masses, speck groups). 9. A group of three on-screen sliders are displayed at the top right of the screen.For each type of cell, move the on-screen slider (with the cursor on the slider, press and hold the mouse button while moving the mouse) until the correct score is displayed. Then click on OK to enter the score into the system. 10. The results of the test are displayed in a format similar to that shown below. The LSL and USL columns show the minimum acceptable score (Lower Specification Limit) and the maximum score (Upper Specification Limit) for each item.

IDC DIAGNOSTICS

Each time that the IDC sub-system is booted (powered up or reset), it carries out a series of diagnostic self-tests, first under the control of the BIOS, then under software control. As each test is performed, a corresponding code is displayed on the four-digit green LCD panel at the rear of the IDC unit.

1-1.

BIOS Diagnostic Display

While the BIOS tests are running, the LCD displays two blank digits followed a two-digit code corresponding to the current test. If a test detects an error or fails to complete, the tests are halted and the code of the failing test remains displayed.

1-2. • • • •

2.

Software Diagnostic Display

Three sets of software diagnostics are carried out. While these test are running, the display shows X000, where X may be 1, 2, or 3. If all tests are completed without failure, the display shows FFFF. If a test fails, the display shows a code in the form XXFF for two seconds. XX is a code corresponding to the failing test. The tests then continue. On completion of the tests after a failure occurs, the display shows F0FF.

ERROR DETECTION

If the IDC halts with a display in the format FFFF, all power-up tests have passed without failure. If the IDC halts with a display in the format --XX, where XX can be any number, a BIOS test has failed. If the problem occurs again after reset, the recommended action is to change the IDC unit. • If the IDC halts with a display in the format F0FF, a software test has failed. Reset the IDC and watch the LCD display. If the failure is repeated, a code XXFF is displayed for two seconds. Note the error code XX. Table 1 gives a list of IDC diagnostic error codes, with recommended sequences of actions.

ERROR LOG

All errors reported by the IDC diagnostic routines are recorded in the system error log. To access the error log, right click on the AWS screen background; select Service Tools/Service Desktop/Error Log from the drop-down menu.

INTRODUCTION

This Job Card lists error codes generated by the Gantry and Generator sub-systems (DMR) and displayed on the DMR Console. Each message may contain two codes, the User error code and the Service error code (refer to the explanation below). Error codes containing a Service Error Code are listed here; codes containing a User Error code are listed in the Operator Manual. Many messages contain both, and appear in both manuals. Refer to section 2 Error Code Structure for an explanation of the error code display. Section 3 Gantry and Generator Error Codes lists the error codes, with corresponding error descriptions. Where possible (mainly for recently developed codes), the list also includes the text of a displayed error message, and suggestions for corrective action.

The User Error Code is the code given in the Operator Manual; it is easy to use and communicate, and gives sufficient information for use by the customer. It includes a code for the type of error ( a) and a message number (bb). The example given, E55, indicates that a tube angulation fault has occurred which caused exposure inhibition, - a: Type of error: I: Warning; exposure not inhibited. S: Warning; exposure inhibited. E: Fault; exposure inhibited. K: Fault; power shut down for safety. - bb: Message number indicating the origin of the fault. The Service Error Code is the code used in this document; it gives more information, and is recommended for use in GE internal communication. It includes two reference codes: ccc: Indicates the affected subassembly (hardware or software). The example given, 161, indicates a tube housing fault. - ddd: Indicates the origin of the fault The example given, 013, indicates that no reference crossing was detected during tube movement. The following abbreviations are used in the error code descriptions: IST: Installation MNT:Maintenance VRTX: Real time operating system Software errors. Many of the codes are described as software errors (e.g., 002/001; Gene. CPU software error). These errors should never occur. If they do, and especially if they are repeated, please contact Service Engineering with as much information as possible (including a copy of the error codes file on diskette).

FILE SYSTEM FSCK TEST

• Type: Unix command • Description: This test checks the file system. It must be launched when file system is suspected to be corrupt (station has been powered off manually, files can not be found, boot does not succeed, or some basic system functions are not available). These problems are detected by the operating system during the boot and the user is warned to run fsck. • Procedure: 1. Shutdown the station 2. Log in as root

fsck -y 4. Type the command: echo $status 3. Type the command:

5. If the result is not equal to 0 or 40: a. Backup the AWS configuration on floppy (see D/R Job Card Backup and Restore) if not done since the last configuration modification. b. Re-install the AWS system from scratch (see D/R Job Card AWS Software Install)

4.

SCSI BOARD TESTS

• Type: Open boot command 1. Go to prompt ok 2. Type the command: probe-scsi-all 3. Relaunch AWS application • Result interpretation: If no SCSI identifier is found, the SCSI board is faulty. On a system with a cd-writer, two identifiers should be detected, the SCSI controller itself and the CDwriter. An example of a result showing two SCSI identifiers is given below: /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4

Encoder Board

Before reinstalling the compression motor, check for the presence of washers (A) between the fingers of the black supporting bracket and the spacers on which the encoder board is mounted. If these washers are present, remove them ( to move the board further away from the motor axis). To assist in adjustment after reinstallation, it may be useful to place a mark on the side of the LED A assembly to indicate the position of the center of the LED.

5-3.

Installation of compression motor and small belt

Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2. • To install the compression motor and small belt, carry out the above operations in reverse order (8 thru 1). • Do not tighten the four mounting screws (Illustration 2, items S7 to S10) until the adjustment described below has been carried out. They are used to tension the small toothed belt by moving the motor on its mounting plate, and to position the encoder board with respect to the encoder wheel.

5-4.

Adjustment

1. Tension the belt by pushing the motor (to the left in the illustration). Take care to avoid excessive belt tension. 2. Tighten the two right hand screws. 3. Position the encoder board so that the encoder LED is positioned at the center of the encoder wheel slots(if you have marked the side of the LED assembly use the mark as a guide), by pusing the board assembly away from the motor axis (down in the illustration). • It is important that the rotating wheel does not touch any part of the LED assembly . If it does, it will generate dust which will obscure the LED and cause failures. 4. When you are satisfied that the position is correct, tighten the two left hand screws.

5-5.

Removal of large compression belt

Refer to Illustrations 1 and 2. WARNING

1. 2. 3. 4.

The compression motor and small belt must be removed before the procedure described below can be executed (see section 5-1). Release the lock, behind the arm, to offset the compression arm in relation to the tube housing arm. Switch ON the DMR electrical power. Set compression arm horizontal (the most convenient position). Switch OFF the DMR electrical power.

BACKUP/RESTORE PROCEDURE

Backup and Restore procedures are described on the following pages.

5-1.

Introduction

When a Backup procedure is performed, the following operations occur: • If a Backup 1 file already exists on the AWS disk, it is renamed to Backup 2. • A new backup file named Backup 1 is created on the AWS disk. This contains: - AWS configuration data. - IDC configuration data. - DMR data (Generator and Gantry parameters). • The AWS configuration data may also be copied to a floppy disk. No IDC or DMR backup data are written to the floppy. It is possible to carry out a Restore procedure in several ways: • AWS configuration data can be restored from Backup 1 or Backup 2, from the backup floppy diskette. • IDC data can be restored from the AWS disk file Backup 1 or Backup 2. • DMR data can be restored from the AWS disk file Backup 1 or Backup 2. ! Notice: A system backup is recommended after each change of configuration of any part of the system, and after each set of calibrations. A system backup is not recommended after a single calibration or configuration change when the change is to be followed by more changes. Each time that a system backup is made, the current AWS file backup Backup 2 is lost (overwritten by Backup 1), and this must be taken into account when considering a new backup.

Backup procedure

1. Select Root menu /Service Tools /Service Desktop; click Submit, then click the Utilities button. 2. Insert a blank 3.5" HD floppy disk into the floppy drive on the AWS unit (not the IDC). To access the floppy drive, remove the Cart rear cover and pull back the Ultra 10 unit. Click the Floppy Format button, and wait for the format to complete. Note: The presence of a floppy disk is not essential for the backup. If no floppy is inserted, AWS parameters are still copied to the hard disk. 3. Click the Backup button. The Back up screen is displayed (see illustration below). 4. Enter a suitable name into the text field System Backup Description Text; click the START button to continue. If no floppy disk is present, the message Floppy disk error or not formatted is displayed; click Continue to continue the backup. The process takes about 10 minutes. 5. An AWS reset is carried out automatically; click OK when it completes. 6. The message System Backup Completed is displayed at the end of the backup operation. 7. To check that the backup copy is available, click the RESTORE button: The name of the system backup, Backup 1, appears on the screen. 8. If the backup is not completed successfully, refer to section 6-3 Backup Troubleshooting. 9. Remove the floppy disk; label it with the name and date of the backup and keep it safely.

Chapter 10

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS X-ray emission safety precautions are applicable. If only the kV/mA board is being changed (not recommended) then the HT probe frequency response must be calibrated. This requires the use of tool RMI 233 and an oscilloscope. Not calibrating the HT probe frequency response may result in non-compliance with CDRH standards (see below) and will affect the AOP behaviour (incorrect breast thickness measurement during pre-exposure).

4.

PREREQUISITES

None.

5.

PROCEDURE CAUTION

The HT block and kV/mA board assembly is factory calibrated. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST POTENTIOMETER P1 (HT probe frequency compensation).

5-1.

Removal and installation of HT and kV/mA block

1. Switch OFF the DMR electrical power. 2. Remove the generator covers (see D/R Job Card Removal of covers). 3. On the HT block, disconnect the following, in the sequence listed: - HT connector, - heating/bias connector GKB, - ground connections (3 wires) (8 mm flat wrench), - inverter GKA/1 and GKA/2 (8 mm flat wrench), - HT probe cable: GKC. 4. On the kV/mA board, disconnect XJ2, XJ3 and XJ1. 5. Tighten the air-bleed screw. 6. Slacken the HT block mounting clamp and remove the block. 7. Install the new HT block and reconnect the cables (grease the HT end-piece if necessary). 8. Slacken the air-bleed screw. DR_025.fm

CHANGING THE KV/MA BOARD ONLY

Changing the kV/mA board alone IS NOT RECOMMENDED (see Section 3, above). However, if the change is absolutely necessary, the calibration procedure is given below: 1. Configure the Senographe DMR as follows: - magnification device in position 1.9; Large focal spot; 2-point mode; 30 kV, 30 mA. 2. Place the RMI 233 probe on the magnification plate, in the center of the X-ray beam. Connect the probe to an oscilloscope with memory facility; select scan 5 ms/division. 3. Execute an exposure and observe the beginning of the exposure waveform on the oscilloscope. Adjust P1 to obtain the shortest rise time, with no overshoot, as shown in the waveform 1 below:

•

CAUTION

Incorrect adjustment results in wrong radiological thickness measurement during the preexposure in AOP mode. When the adjustment is correct a normal exposure with 40 mm of plexiglas in AOP mode, and an exposure aborted just after pre-exposure in the same conditions, should display the same radiological thickness on the technical parameter display.
