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 Interna-
tional 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 Comi-
sión 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 unbe-
fugter oder unqualifizierter Personen wird er zu einer Gefahrenquelle. Übermäßige Röntgenbestrahlung ist für den menschlichen Orga-
nismus schädlich.
Deswegen sind hinreichende Vorsichtsmaßnahmen erforderlich, um zu verhindern, daßunbefugte oder unqualifizierte Personen solche
Geräte bedienen oder sich selbst und andere Personen deren Bestrahlung aussetzen können.
Vor Inbetriebnahme dieses Apparats sollte sich das qualifizierte und befugte Bedienungspersonal mit den geltenden Kriterien für den ge-
fahrlosen Strahleneinsatz durch sorgfältiges Studium des Hefts Nr. 60 der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz (ICRP) vertraut
machen: Empfehlungen der Internationalen Kommission für Strahlenschutz und anderer nationaler Normenbehörden.

CHAPTER 1 – INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION

1–1 Chapter Overview

This chapter presents the Senographe DMR installation procedures. The wiring and room
layout requirements for the product are covered in the Pre–Installation Manual.

1–2 Inspection for Damage

The Senographe DMR was completely inspected for proper operation and appearance before
shipment. However, it is necessary to inspect the product after the shipment is received. Visu-
ally inspect the packages for any apparent damage. If there are signs of damage, refer the mat-
ter to the shipping company immediately.

Open the packages and refer to the Product Delivery Instructions (PDI). Verify that items on
the list are present in the package. Carefully examine the contents for small parts.

SECTION 2
DESCRIPTION OF DELIVERED EQUIPMENT

D See the Pre-installation Manual for a description of the delivered equipment.


SECTION 3
HOW TO USE THE CONSOLE IN INSTALLATION MODE

3–1 Introduction

This section describes how to use the Senographe DMR console during installation.

3–2 Application and Installation modes

Throughout the Senographe DMR documentation, reference is made to the application mode
and to the installation mode to differentiate between normal operation of the product by a
doctor and operation of the product during installation.

Each time the Senographe DMR is turned on the software automatically starts up in applica-
tion mode.

For information on using the Senographe DMR in application mode, refer to the Operator
Manual.

Two major Senographe DMR components must be installed – the generator and the gantry.
Therefore, there are two separate installation phases, one for the generator and one for the
gantry (see Section 3–4).

3–3 Description of the Console


INSTALLATION

Illustration 1–1 shows the Senographe DMR consoles. When the Senographe DMR is in
application mode, the six keys below the display window correspond to the functions that
their respective symbol markings indicate (focal spot, track, filter, etc. – refer to the Operator
Manual for explicit details).

On the other hand, when the Senographe DMR is in installation mode, the function of each
of these six keys depends on the procedure being performed and is displayed on the bottom
line of the display window adjacent to the corresponding key.

To enter installation mode, press the SETUP key once. To return immediately to

application mode, press the SETUP key again.

Illustration 1–3 shows the console before and after entry to the installation mode.

Section 1 of this illustration shows a typical console display during normal application mode
use.

Section 2 shows the appearance of the display window when, having started from application

mode, the SETUP key is pressed for the first time.

Section 4 shows the appearance of the display window when the password has already been

entered once, and starting from application mode, the SETUP key is pressed.

3–4 Accessing the Generator or Gantry Installation Mode from the Console
INSTALLATION

Menu access paths: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL OR SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

To access the generator or gantry installation mode starting from application mode, follow
this sequence:

1. Press the SETUP key .

2. For access to the generator and gantry installation menus, change the position of the in-
stallation menu enable switch (switch B1–8 on generator CPUboard 400–PL3) from its
position prior to power-up to the opposite position (see Illustration 1–2).
The installation menus can also be accessed by password. Select the PASSWORD key,
enter your password (given at the training course) (see Illustration 1–3, Section 3).

3. Select the sub–assembly to be installed (GENE or ARM for generator or gantry, respec-
tively).
4. For the gantry ONLY, press the VALID key.
5. Select the INSTAL menu.
Note: The MAINTENANCE menu is not accessible during installation of the Senographe
DMR.

6. You now have access to the installation menus of the sub–assembly selected (generator
or gantry).
Note: The position of the installation menu enable switch is memorized each time the Seno-
graphe DMR is turned on. Until the machine is again turned off (or the default parame-
ters are re–loaded via the generator’s CLEAR menu, see Section 3–8), this memorized
position is the installation-menu-access-disabled position, and the opposite position is
the installation-menu-access-enabled position. The significance of the switch’s position
thus depends upon its position at power–up.

When you have finished using the Senographe DMR installation mode, you must
CAUTION turn off the Senographe DMR before handing over the machine to the user. In this
way, when the machine is turned on again, access to the installation mode will be
automatically locked out (see Note above).

Illustration 1–3 shows the sequence for accessing generator installation mode.

3–6 Accessing the Different Installation Menus in the Tree Structure

INSTALLATION
Once you have followed the installation mode access procedure given in Section 3–4, you
can go down into the various installation menus by selecting them progressively using the
six keys below the console display window (see Section 3–5).

To move upward in the tree structure, press the SETUP key once for each change of

level desired. This is useful for going from one branch of the tree structure to another during
installation procedures, or if you accidentally go into an unwanted branch.

3–7 Saved Parameters and Checksum

a. Parameters resulting from installation or non–proprietary maintenance procedures


are saved in two memory zones (one in the generator and one in the gantry) whose
contents are not lost when the DMR is switched off.
b. To perform a saved parameter memory checksum, go to the CKSUM menu for the
generator or gantry and run this function. You can now return to application mode
without receiving a checksum error message.
c. 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 Senographe displaying checksum error from
generator (or gantry).
The only purpose of checksum error is to lock the application mode against any
random data change. When you perform the checksum you only tell the software
that you accept the data you have changed (that is, either data entered manually or
calibration data).

3–8 Re–loading of Default (Initial) Parameters


INSTALLATION

THE FUNCTIONS DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION ARE NORMALLY NEV-


WARNING ER USED AFTER THE DMR HAS LEFT THE FACTORY.

To re–load the generator or gantry default parameters (prior to any installation or calibration
procedures), use the appropriate CLEAR menu. The use of this menu executes a software
power–up that is comparable to the very first hardware power–up of the generator or gantry.

When the generator CLEAR menu is used, the DMR leaves the installation menus and returns
to the application mode. In order to re–access the installation mode after performing a genera-
tor CLEAR, you must change the position of the installation menu enable switch (see Section
3–4).

When the gantry CLEAR menu is used, the DMR returns to the gantry installation entry level
(SETUP/ARM/VALID).

Following use of the CLEAR menu, the software displays a CHECKSUM ERROR message.
All generator or gantry calibration procedures must be performed, followed by a CKSUM
to enable use of the new parameters.

USE OF THE GENERATOR CLEAR MENU RESETS, FROM A SOFTWARE


WARNING POINT OF VIEW, THE THERMAL CONDITION OF CRITICAL COMPO-
NENTS (TUBE, TUBE HOUSING, GENERATOR, ETC.) TO A COLD CONDI-
TION. THIS MEANS THAT THE SOFTWARE THERMAL PROTECTIONS
CAN NO LONGER DETECT AN EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE RISE IMME-
DIATELY FOLLOWING USE OF THIS MENU.

THE GENERATOR CLEAR MENU MUST THEREFORE BE USED WITH


CARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN OPERATIONS JUST PRIOR TO ITS USE HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY RAISED CRITICAL COMPONENT TEMPERATURES (e.g.
NUMEROUS HIGH–POWER AND/OR LENGTHY EXPOSURES).

The existing parameters are PERMANENTLY LOST when a CLEAR menu is exe-
CAUTION cuted – a COMPLETE RE–CALIBRATION of the assembly (generator or gantry)
must therefore be performed.

3–9 Returning to the Application Mode

INSTALLATION
To return to the application mode press the SETUP key n times, where n is the number

of levels that you have gone down the installation tree structure.

Note: If you have performed any calibration procedures, or otherwise changed any saved pa-
rameter values, you must perform a saved parameter memory checksum before return-
ing to the application mode (see Section 3–7) – if you do not perform this checksum, then
you will receive a CHECKSUM ERROR message.

Note: If you switch off the DMR for any reason and then switch it on again, you must once
again change the position of the installation menu enable switch before being able to get
access to the installation mode (see Section 3–4).

3–10 Generator Configuration Parameters

3–10–1 Gantry Present/Absent (PRES_B)

Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/PRES/PRES_B

The generator installation software provides access to a parameter called PRES_B (PRES-
ence_Arm), whose value can be set to either YES or NO. The value of PRES_B indicates,
from a generator software point of view, the presence or absence of the gantry, i.e. possibility
or not of communication with the gantry CPU.

The service engineer may set PRES_B to NO to isolate the generator from the gantry during
troubleshooting (from the point of view of the generator software, the gantry becomes a sim-
ple tube stand).

Following a generator CLEAR (see section 3–8) PRES_B takes on the value NO.

PRES_B is kept in the saved parameter memory, which means that its value is retained when
power is turned off. This means that if, during a service call, the service engineer has to set
PRES_B to NO it must be set back to YES before handing back the DMR to the customer.

The value of PRES_B can be set by following the menu access path shown above, selecting
YES or NO and performing a CKSUM.

3–10–2 Display of Parameters Following an Exposure


INSTALLATION

Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DISP

To simplify the service engineer’s work, the software can display certain parameters follow-
ing an exposure. These parameters are displayed on the console display window in two
groups which appear alternately:

kv mAs mA Time I heater

and

offset photo-cell photo-cell corrected thickness


HV measurement photo-cell
result measurement
result

Where:

offset = offset of photo-cell measurement (dark current + electrical offset)


photo-cell measurement result = photo-cell/mA measurement
corrected photo-cell measurement result = corrected according to DMR configuration
thickness = breast thickness in equivalent cm of plexiglass.

This DISP parameter is turned on and off by following the menu access path shown above.
Select YES or NO. A CKSUM is NOT necessary because this parameter is not a saved param-
eter. When power is turned off, the value of DISP is lost and reverts to NO at the next power–
up.

1–26
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100

3–10–3 Calendar and Clock

INSTALLATION
Menu access path: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/DATE

The generator CPU is equipped with a calendar and clock that are used for the following func-
tions:

D Thermal protection cooling algorithms, whether or not the generator is turned on.
D Memorization of the date and time of an equipment failure.
D Last date of access to the installation mode.
The last function makes it possible for a service engineer to verify the date and time of the
last service visit and also determine whether access to the installation modes was made by
unauthorized persons since that visit.

The date is modified by following the menu access path shown above, selecting DATE, then

NEXT and, finally, rotating the kv dial to obtain the desired day. Select NEXT

again and rotate the kv dial to obtain the desired month. Repeat once more to obtain the de-
sired year, then select VALID to confirm the date.

Note: The date is entered in the form DD/MM/YY (for example, if the date to be entered is Feb-
ruary 14th, 2001, you must enter 14/02/01).

The time is modified by following the menu access path shown above and then selecting
HOUR. Enter the time of day as explained above for the date, using the NEXT, kv dial and
VALID functions.

Note: The time of day is entered in 24-hour format, therefore, if the time of day is 3:13:27 pm,
you must enter 15:13:27.

Note: Following a generator CLEAR of saved parameters, the calendar and clock, as well as
the last installation mode access date, are initialized to the release date of the generator
software version at 0:00:00.

3–10–4 Visual Representation of Numerical Parameters

When displayed on the console, most numerical values appear in the form of real numbers
in scientific notation floating point format with four significant figures.

Some examples are:

–1.250E+3 = –1250.00
+4.345E–1 = 0.4345
+1.000E+0 = 1.000

1–27
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100

3–10–5 Visual Display of Parameter Values


INSTALLATION

A parameter value can be displayed on the DMR console by accessing the calibration menus
for the procedures that compute the parameter in question. Typically this is done when you
are at a menu choice between CALIB and PARAM. Select PARAM to display the parameter
value.

Note: If the calibration procedure computes more than one parameter, turning the kv

dial will display them one at a time in sequence.

As an example, looking at the values of scale factor K and offset voltage VOF of tube track
1 which are computed by the heater current scale factor calibration routine: follow the menu
access path SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/HTR_SCL/TRACK1/PARAM.

On the right of the first console display line appears the value of scale factor K. Rotate the
kv dial clockwise by one position. Now offset voltage VOF appears instead.

CAUTION DO NOT attempt to modify these calibrated parameter values.

3–10–6 Modification of a Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement

Parameters are entered or modified in scientific notation form.

When at the parameter value modification or measurement entry level in the menu structure,
there are two possible selections: NEXT and VALID. Begin by selecting NEXT. This enables
modification of the first character to be entered. Successive selections of NEXT will enable
modification of each character to be entered.

Use the kv dial to modify the character being entered. Select VALID when all

characters are correctly entered.

NEVER modify a parameter value on a DMR that has already been calibrated un-
CAUTION less you have a specific reason. Doing so, in general, will necessitate entering the de-
fault parameter value(s) and completely re–calibrating the sub–assembly
(generator or gantry) for the parameter value(s) in question.

GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100

As an example, set the maximum exposure time to 5.7 (+5.700E+0) seconds, follow the menu
access path SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/CONFIG/CONFIG/T_MAX, select NEXT

INSTALLATION
and turn the kv dial to set the sign of the value to be entered (in this example,

the value is positive +). Select ”NEXT again. Turn the kv dial to set the value of the first digit
to 5. Continue selecting NEXT and turning the kv dial until you have input +5.700E+0 (man-
tissa sign and four digits plus exponent sign and one digit). If you make a mistake, select
NEXT repeatedly until you arrive at the faulty value, then correct it by rotating the kV dial.
If you truly wish to enter the parameter value, select VALID, keeping the above CAUTION
in mind before doing so! 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 vis-
ible before being able to enter the new value using the VALID key.

3–10–7 Entry of an Alpha–Numeric Value

This is the case when entering screen pair names (seven characters maximum allowed).

The principle is identical to that used for parameter value entry as described in Section

3–10–6 (repeated use of NEXT, kv dial and VALID).

Here, rotation of the kv dial gives access to the following characters:

The 26 letters of the alphabet

The ten digits from 0 to 9

The colon :

The choice of a screen pair name is confirmed by pressing VALID.

3–11 Principles of Generator Calibration


INSTALLATION

3–11–1 Vocabulary

The following key words are found throughout the generator installation menus:

CALIB designates a menu that steers you to the calibration procedure itself.

PARAM designates a menu that steers you to other menus that allow you to display and
modify parameters.

CHANGE designates a menu that allows you to modify a parameter.

REF designates a menu within a calibration procedure that allows you to modify the com-
mand input (mAs for reference energy, photo-cell HV for the frequency/HV calibration, heat-
er current for the heater current scale factor calibration, etc...).

CALCUL designates a menu that steers you to the execution of the computations necessary
to obtain the parameter values.

3–11–2 Use of the First Trigger/Second Trigger Buttons During Generator Installation

In general, calibration computations are started by pressing the SECOND TRIGGER button
(the FIRST TRIGGER button is not used during installation).

After going down through the different menus, the final CALIB selection steers you to a
menu that has no second line displayed on the console display window (i.e. there are no more
menus to select). It is at this level that the calibration computation is started by pressing the
SECOND TRIGGER button.

This general rule does not apply, for practical reasons, when measurements on the gantry
are necessary (because the gantry and generator/console may be physically separated, the ser-
vice engineer cannot necessarily be near both at the same time). For example:

– Calibration of photo-cell HV measurement. The command input is sent upon selection


of the START key and is removed upon selection of the STOP key. For this calibration
procedure, the service engineer has to measure the photo-cell HV on the photo-cell
board, which is attached to the gantry, and enter the result via the HV_M menu.

– HV/DAC calibration. The computation is started upon selection of the START key and
stops automatically. A message appears on the console display to indicate the end of
the computation.

3–11–3 Inhibit Conditions Due to Gantry Absence

The AOP calibration procedures (CELL and ALGO) need to exchange information with the
gantry CPU.

Therefore, before performing these calibration procedures, it is necessary to set the value of
PRS_A to YES (see Section 3–10–1) otherwise, error messages indicating software absence
of the gantry will appear on the console display and access to the CALIB menus is inhibited
(only display and modification of parameters will be possible).

1–30
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100

3–11–4 Inhibit Conditions Due to Grid Absence/Presence

INSTALLATION
Many of the AEC calibration procedures are performed with grid and without grid. For such
procedures, the gantry CPU indicates to the generator CPU whether or not the grid is present.
The calibration software will verify agreement between physical presence/absence of the
grid and the service engineer’s choice of calibration with grid or without grid. If there is dis-
agreement, error messages will appear and access to the CALIB menu will be inhibited.

3–11–5 Displayed Messages During Exposure–Producing Calibration Procedures

The following messages are displayed in the upper right–hand corner of the console display
during calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures:

Exposure number (when exposure is valid)


Arcing
Failure (return to application mode for explicit message)
Excessive temperature
End of series of exposures
Certain calibration procedures that make X–ray exposures insert, in alternation with the
above messages, specific messages such as:

Too much plexi


Not enough plexi
Reduce HV, same point

3–11–6 Other Displayed Messages

In general the software displays, as much as possible, messages indicating the phases of cal-
ibration such as:

Calibration end

SECTION 5
INSTALLATION STEERING
INSTALLATION

The installation of the DMR must be performed according to the CONTENT as


CAUTION well as the CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER given in this section. Failure to do so can
result in faulty calibration of the product and subsequent loss of performance.

Note: Use the installation flow chart (illustration 1–16) as a memo to assist you during the
installation.
Use calibration form (IST 043) to record all values obtained.

1. Unpack generator, gantry and accessories. See Job Card IST 008 UNPACKING THE
EQUIPMENT.
2. Physically place/anchor gantry, generator, console, protective glass screen, pedals, etc.
(see Job Card IST 009 PHYSICAL INSTALLATION).
3. Attach appropriate regulatory and safety labelling to the equipment according to local
regulations (see Job Card IST 038 REGULATORY AND SAFETY LABELLING).

The attachment of appropriate regulatory and safety labelling to the equipment is


CAUTION a LEGAL REQUIREMENT for operation of an X–ray producing unit.

4. Remove all side covers and trim panels from generator and gantry (see Job Card IST
032 REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF SIDE COVERS AND TRIM PANELS).
5. Inspect inside of generator and gantry for loose or disconnected cables, wires, connec-
tors, etc. Refer to MIS maps if necessary.
6. Connect cables between generator, console, and gantry and check the vent screw on the

tion of the same screen pair on another DMR for the screen and film of the screen
pair being calibrated:

Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/


ALGO/FSC=x/CALIB/LNRT/PARAM on the console, where x is the screen
pair indicator (A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated. See
Job Card IST 006 SCREEN PAIR SELECTION AND CONFIGURATION.
At this point, enter the three parameter values by using the CHANGE key, rotating
the kV dial and using the NEXT, VALID and SETUP keys. See sections 3–10–5
and 3–10–6.
If this is an additional DMR, at the same site, using the same processor, then as soon
as the three parameter values are correctly entered, go IMMEDIATELY to Job
Card IST 014 CALIBRATION OF REFERENCE ENERGY FOR A GIVEN
SCREEN PAIR. Once this calibration is finished, go directly to step f. below.
Otherwise, go directly to Job Card IST 013 CALIBRATION OF FILM REC-
IPROCITY FAILURE COMPENSATION FOR A GIVEN SCREEN PAIR. Once
this calibration is finished, write down the newly–determined parameters A0, A1
and A2 for the screen pair being calibrated in table 1.
f. AOP strategy: this parameter is determined automatically at the end of IST013 or
IST014 reference energy calibration. So the manual setting of the AOP strategy
(IST039) is no longer necessary.
Note: However, if there are several senographe DMR installed on the same site, it may be nec-
essary to “equalize” all the strategies to the same value, to avoid unjustified mAs devi-
ation between identical senographes. For this purpose only, it is still possible to read/set
the strategy value. Starting from application mode, select:
SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/ALGO/FSC=x/STRAT
Where x is the screen pair indicator (A, B, C, D, or E).
See IST039 for further reference.
This equalization must only be done if the DMRs are using the same film/screen couple,
same film processor, same SID.

g. Optical density optimization, see Job Card IST 050, IST 051.

h. Calibrate photo-cell in Stereotix 2 positions.

Note: This step is not applicable for non–Stereotix 2 installations.

Perform the calibration in Job Card IST 018 CALIBRATION OF photo-cell IN


STEREOTIX 2 POSITIONS.

i. Calibrate reference energy in Stereotix 2 mode.

Note: This step is not applicable for non–Stereotix 2 installations.

than English):
Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/MEDICAL/LANGUAGE/
language on the console, where language is the desired console dialog display lan-
guage (FRANC, ENGL, DEUTS, ESPAN, ITALI or PORTU).

22. At this step, a calibration backup can be done. Then, in case of a system crash, the cal-
ibration backup can be used or the system can be completely recalibrated following the
process in chapter 2.
23. Perform safety checks (collimator size for example) if applicable from local regula-
tions.
24. Applicable to countries subject to MQSA requirements only (US and Canada for exam-
ple):
MQSA requirement 900.12(e)(5)(vii)(C) deals with paddle length extension: the
paddle chest wall edge shall not extend by more than 1% the chest wall edge border of
the film. To test if delivered paddles are compliant with this rule, use the FMI kits
shipped with the system.

Kits contain appropriate test instructions. In case paddles are found non–compliant, kits
also contain a set of adjusting wedges for correction.

Use one kit per paddle.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AEC/AOP CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Recommendation # 1: Selection of Reference O.D.

Whenever Reference O.D. is determined by the customer, take in account the following:
• Site dedicated to cancer screening campaign. See applicable standards,

• Kodak MinR 2000; recommended net O.D. > 1.4.

• The value must be compatible with the quality of the viewboxes.

To perform IST 013, it is possible to use an O.D. value other than the one expected by the doctor.
• In this case, once IST 013 has been performed, O.D. value must be adjusted with IST 014,
• This O.D. (used to complete IST 013) needs to be chosen on the linear part of the sensitometric curve with the
recommended gamma (See Job Card IST 048). Film Reciprocity Law Failure Compensation algorithm of DMR
uses a calculation range around O.D. ± 0.2.
Note: Take care to have OD ± 0.2 range inside the same linear part (i.e. with the same slope).

Recommendation # 2: Setting of Sensitometric Scale from Senographe Console

– Enter Sensitometric Scale (steps 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15),

Note: The target O.D. is between two density steps. Use these two values to calculate the gamma value:

Gamma = (D(n+1) – D(n))/0.3. The DMR will do the calculation this way.

The result shall be identical or very close to the value found with Job card IST 048.

If not, modify the choice of O.D. steps, by shifting the step values.

Recommendation # 3: Calibration of Film Reciprocity Law Failure Compensation for a given


Screen/Film pair

– Calibrate the Reference Energy (step 5.6 of Job Card IST 013).
• Choose O.D. according to the recommendation # 1.

• For a good result, it is recommended to find manually the exact mAs value to reach the expected O.D.
with 28 kV/4 cm acrylic.

– Perform Film Reciprocity Law failure Compensation procedure: step 5.7 of IST 013.

– CAUTION: If an error 068/xxx is displayed by the Senographe console, it means that the parameters may be
erroneous. Do not attempt to force the calibration. Reset the generator and perform again the calibration.

• Check result according to step 5.9 of IST 013:

The optical density must not vary by more than 0.2 between any of the three films; if it does, the entire
calibration must be repeated.

REV 9 sm 2240777–100

• If the O.D. used in IST 013 is different from O.D. desired by customer, perform IST 014 : Calibration of
the REFERENCE ENERGY FOR A GIVEN SCREEN/FILM PAIR.

INSTALLATION
Note: Check IST 039. Verify if the strategy computed by DMR is compatible with kV and
mAs values:
– If you decrease the strategy, e.g., Very Fast to Fast, for a same AOP mode configu-
ration, the choice of kV will be higher.

CHAPTER 2 – CALIBRATION

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION

This chapter is a resume of the procedures to follow when a complete re–calibration of the
generator and/or gantry is deemed necessary, when a new screen pair is being introduced,
when the Stereotix 2 option is being installed after the initial installation, and when the cus-
tomer wishes to change the reference optical density in AEC and AOP modes.

CALIBRATION
This chapter is divided into 7 sections:

D Section 1 introduces the chapter.


D Section 2 describes generator calibration (except AEC calibration of a screen pair).
D Section 3 provides information for complete gantry calibration.
D Section 4 provides information for AEC calibration for a given screen pair.
D Section 5 describes AEC calibration of a Stereotix 2 installed after initial installation.
D Section 6 describes re–calibration of non–Stereotix 2 reference optical density in AEC
and AOP modes.
D Section 7 describes re-calibration of Stereotix 2 mode reference optical density in AEC
mode.

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 Prepare the Senographe DMR for this calibration procedure.

5.1.1 Turn off the Senographe DMR.

5.1.2 Open the HV converter control signal inputs by disconnecting flat cable WG8 from generator com-
mand board 400–PL1 connector XJ7. This eliminates any possibility of energy build–up in the HV

Note: Performing the calibration procedure once is normally sufficient for correct calibration.

Note: If it is necessary to perform the calibration procedure more than once, the measured values of cur-
rent for the two points (4.0 and 5.0 A) should become increasingly accurate. If not, the procedure
is probably not being followed correctly.

If the value of K is less than +8.000E+0 (8.0), either the calibration procedure
CAUTION was done incorrectly or there is a hardware defect.

5.3.11 Repeat the calibration and check procedures on the other tube track, if necessary.

5.3.12 Perform a ”CKSUM”, then turn the system off

5.3.13 Re–connect flat cable WG8 to generator command board 400–PL1 connector XJ7, remove high

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE HEATER CURRENT
The objective is to determine the X–ray tube heater current necessary for producing the desired X–ray tube
anode current at a given kV value.
The calibration procedure must be performed on each focal size/track combination. Four repetitions of the cal-
ibration 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 X–ray tube
anode current for all possible kV values.

5.1 Perform the calibration procedure.

5.1.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3) or enter password on console.
JOB CARDS

Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to the
service menu.

5.1.2 Select the following menu sequence on the console: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/


TUBE/HEATER/focal size/track/CALIB

Note: /focal size/track/ must be SF/RH for the first combination performed.

To avoid excessive X-ray doses on the photo-cell tube, place an empty cassette
CAUTION on the top of the image receptor.

5.1.3 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO
2, EXPOSURE NO 3 and CALIBRATION END appear sequentially on the console display. The
software automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations.

Note: Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO HOT appears on the
console display when tube temperature is excessive for taking the next exposure. It is not neces-
sary 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 HOT message disappears, continue the
calibration by pressing the 2nd trigger button and holding it down.

Note: In case of arcing, the software re–attempts the same exposure automatically.

Note: 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 (see Job Card
IST 020 AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP).

5.1.4 Repeat sections 5.1.2 to 5.1.3 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations in the follow-
ing order: SF/Mo, LF/Rh, LF/Mo.

5.1.5 Perform this step only if a warning message is displayed.


The generator firmware can display the Limited Ich message on the console at the end of the
tube–current calibration IST 003. This message is only a warning and therefore not associated
with an error code.
Limited Ich (limited heater current) means 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). To handle
this warning, proceed as follows:

1. Access the DMR installation menu to read the heater parameters (the path is: SETUP/GENE/
INSTAL/GENE/GENE/TUBE/HEATER/LF/MO/Param/I–Value). If necessary, see DMR
menu structure in service manual (Ill. 1–7).

JOB CARDS
2. Explore the 28 kV/A combinations and note the kV values showing a current value equal to
5.600 A.

3. Repeat Step 2. for the LF/RH combination (there is a very low probability of current limitation
occurring in small focus).

4. Return to Application Mode (set–up button).

5. 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.

6. Repeat Steps 1. and 2.: If no more kV point are set to 5.600 A, the problem has been resolved.
If there is still one or more points showing a current value of 5.600 A make Job Card IST 001,
then restart this procedure from Step 1 above. If the problem recurs, replace the X–ray tube.

5.2 Check the results.

5.2.1 Be sure that the gantry presence parameter PRES_A is set to YES before proceeding (see Gantry
Present/Absent in Chapter 1).

5.2.2 Activate the display of parameters following an exposure (see Display of Parameters Following an
Exposure in Chapter 1).

5.2.3 Perform a CKSUM and return to application mode (Path is: SETUP/GENE/INSTALL/CKSUM/
CKSUM.

5.2.4 Set up the Senographe DMR for a manual (2–point) exposure at 30 kV and 63 mAs. For each of
the four focal size/track combination, take an exposure following a 3-second preparation time. Note
the resulting X–ray tube anode currents displayed on the console display.

Note: A lower mAs value cannot would decrease the measurement accuracy.

APPROPRIATE PRECAUTIONS WHEN IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO
THESE CIRCUITS.

In case of equipment breakdown or service engineer error during these cal-

sonable as to render the photo-cell board unusable. This can show up as an
error message during power up, and thus inhibit use of the calibration soft-
ware. If this happens, the only way to cancel the error is to manually re–enter
the default parameter value (see sections 5 and 6 for these values) and switch
the Senographe DMR off and back on again before again attempting a cal-
ibration.

These procedures must be done with cables W14 and W15 connected to

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO CELL SENSITIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF ITS VOLTAGE
The photo cell’s sensitivity to light varies as a function of its voltage. This phenomenon is exploited by the
Senographe DMR to compensate for all the different possible configurations encountered in application mode
(kV, SID, etc.). The Senographe DMR determines the needed photo cell sensitivity for a given configuration
and applies the appropriate photo cell HV.
The objective here is to determine the coefficients beta and gamma that define the relationship between photo
cell HV and photo cell sensitivity. A third coefficient, alpha, is always equal to zero.
DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE ALPHA = +0.000E+0 (0), BETA = +7.377E+0 (7.377) AND
GAMMA = –4.931E+1 (–49.31).

Note: Do not confuse the screen pair indicator with the screen pair name, which is chosen via the proce-
dure in section 5.6. While the 5 screen pair indicators cannot be changed and do not appear in
application mode, each of them can be assigned a screen pair name corresponding to the film/cas-
sette combination used, which appears on the console display in application AOP (0–point) and
AEC (1–point) modes.

5.3 Enable/disable screen pair.


Select SETUP/VALID on the console. This function gives the possibility to enable or disable the use of the

5.6 Choose screen pair name.


Select SETUP/NAME on the console. Enter and validate the desired screen pair name, which can contain up
to 7 characters (A to Z, 0 to 9, and colon ”:”) – see Entry of an Alpha–Numeric Value in Chapter 1 for informa-
tion on entering alpha–numeric values.
This is the name that appears on the console display in application AOP (0–point) and AEC (1–point) modes.

Note: The default screen pair name is the screen pair indicator. See section 5.2.
Typically, this name is an abbreviation of the film and cassette type used to constitute the screen pair being
used. It is a good idea to ask the doctor for suggestions for the screen pair name.

Note: This name can be changed at any time in the future without producing the need to re-perform any
calibrations on the screen pair in question.

5.7 Proceed to the screen pair calibration procedures.

5.2 Information about cassettes and films used in these procedures

5.2.1 Determine whether or not the screen–less cassette simulation tool can be used.
The screen–less simulation tool can be used only if the cassette of the screen pair being calibrated
is among the following:
– KODAK Min–R 2
– FUJI MA
– AGFA–GEVAERT MAMORAY
– 3M
– DUPONT
– KONICA
If the cassette of the screen pair being installed is not among these models, the screen–less cassette

JOB CARDS
simulation tool cannot be used. In this case, a normal cassette of the type used in the screen pair
being calibrated must be used, but without its screen.

Note: If a screen–less cassette simulation tool is not available, any of the cassette models listed above,
without its screen*, can be used during calibration of any screen pair that uses any of the models
in the list. For example, if you’re calibrating a screen pair that uses the 3M cassette, you can use
a KODAK Min–R 2 cassette without its screen. However, if you are calibrating a screen pair that
uses a cassette model that is not on this list, you must use a cassette of that exact model, without
its screen.

* When removing the screen from a cassette, be sure to leave the layer of plastic foam intact in
the cassette.

5.2.2 Learn how to use the screen–less cassette simulation tool.


If used, the screen–less cassette simulation tool must always be loaded with an undeveloped film
of the type used in the screen pair being calibrated, as shown in illustration 1.

Note: It is normal for the film not to lie flat at the rear edge of the film holding area. The rear edge of
the film holding area was in fact designed to insure that the FRONT edge of the film butts up per-
fectly against the front edge of the film holding area. This is critical, because the photo-cell is
located towards the front edge of the bucky and must be maximally covered by the film.
The loaded screen–less cassette simulation tool must be installed in the Senographe DMR cassette
holder or in the bucky in the same way as an ordinary cassette.

Be sure to orient the simulation tool in the cassette holder with its front edge
CAUTION coinciding with the front edge of the bucky, as shown in illustration 1.
JOB CARDS

Note: Whenever the instructions in this Job Card instruct you to install the loaded cassette (without
screen) install the loaded simulation tool instead, if permitted (see section 5.2.1 above).

5.2.3 Each of the two cassettes (with and without screen) used in these procedures must be loaded with
undeveloped film of the type used in the screen pair being calibrated.
– The same two cassettes must be used for all procedures in this Job Card.
– The same undeveloped films can be left in the cassettes for all procedures in this Job
Card.
– Mark the cassette without screen clearly so as not to confuse it with the cassette with
screen (not applicable if screen–less cassette simulation tool is used).

5.3 Advance preparation if a new screen pair is being introduced


Select and configure a screen pair (see Job Card IST 006).

5.4 General instructions to be observed during all procedures in this Job Card

5.4.1 The photo-cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures
in this Job Card.

Note: Number the plexiglass plates from 1 to 6 and use the same plates for the same thickness.

5.4.2 When selecting plexiglass thicknesses (2, 4 or 6 cm) in the menus between exposure sequences,
never go up in the menu structure higher than indicated in the procedure being performed. Doing
so will reset stored intermediate values and ruin the calibration. Also, once all three thicknesses
have been calibrated, follow the instructions immediately for performing the calculation. Select
SETUP no more than the precise number of times indicated, again at the risk of losing intermediate
values prior to the calculation.

5.4.3 On the other hand, if an error is made during the calibration of one of the three plexiglass thicknesses
JOB CARDS

(for example, the plexiglass was incorrectly placed or is not the correct thickness), then you must
go upward in the menus (by selecting SETUP a certain number of times) at least to the level that
gives the choices GRID, SCREEN and CALIB (just below PM_YLD). Here you reset the inter-
mediate values intentionally, and you must repeat all three thickness calibrations.

5.4.4 Normally, this Job Card is used when a new screen pair is being introduced. In this case, follow the
procedures in this Job Card in the exact order shown.

5.4.5 If, however, only part of the photo-cell gain calibration is being done (e.g. because of a mistake dur-
ing a certain part of the calibration), the procedures can be performed independently of the others,
but be sure to read and carry out all preliminary preparations and procedures associated with the
procedure in question.

5.4.6 When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder or 1.5 magnification device, the plexiglass must
always overlap the front edge (towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo-cell is
fully covered.

5.4.7 When taking a series of calibration exposures, if arcing occurs, the arcing message appears on the
console display. This does not mean that the series must be repeated (i.e. the software keeps track
of which exposures in the series were successful even if it must repeat one due to arcing). Only if
there were a serious arcing problem would the software abort the series, in which case it would have
to be repeated.

5.4.8 If you are in the middle of IST 007, and must stop, continue at another time, there are certain steps
that you need not repeat. For example:
D if you have completed step 6.4.13, then you can start with step 6.5
D if you have completed step 6.6.13, then you can start with step 6.7
D if you have completed step 6.9.12, then you can start with step 6.10.

SECTION 6
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO-CELL GAIN
The objective is to determine the X–ray absorption of the screen. The calibration software achieves this by sub-
tracting the photo-cell gain obtained with a screen from the photo-cell gain obtained without a screen.
Therefore, each configuration must be calibrated twice – once with and once without a screen.
6 coefficients are calculated for each of 5 track/filter combinations. Thus, 30 coefficients are calculated for
each of 4 different cases (2 configurations, each calibrated once with and once without a screen), for a total
of 120 coefficients.

6.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for these procedures.

6.1.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3).

JOB CARDS
Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

6.1.2 Set the SID to that used by the user, 610 mm or the most common 660 mm.

6.2 Prepare the Senographe DMR for the procedures using contact mode with grid (bucky 18 x 24 ).

6.2.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:

location of an unused screen pair (generally E) by following this procedure:
JOB CARDS

– Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/


FILM/COPY/SOURCE/SCREEN/NO on the console.
– Select SETUP/FSC/FSC=x, where x is the screen pair indicator corresponding to the
screen pair being calibrated.
– Select SETUP/SETUP/TARG/SCREEN/YES.
– Select SETUP/FSC/FSC=y, where y is the indicator of the unused screen pair.

Be very sure of the choice of unused screen pair indicator y (A, B, C, D or E).
CAUTION If a mistake is made, there is a risk of erasing good parameter values on
another screen pair that is in use.

– Once you are SURE that the screen pair indicator y is correct (see CAUTION above),
copy the parameters by selecting SETUP/SETUP/COPY/VALID. The message
COPY EXECUTED appears on the console display.

bolts until the castors are clear of the floor.

5.1.8 Use the 8 mm Allen wrench to remove the castors.

5.1.9 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 4 screws PN 45562657 (provided in installation kit). Insert them in place
of the jacking blots to push on the jack feet.

5.1.10 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 IST 032 if necessary).

5.1.11 Bolt the gantry to the floor with the three 10 x 80 mm diameter screws (provided) or, for U.S. instal-
lations, the closest U.S. equivalent (not provided).

Job Card IST 011 2 of 6

SECTION 5
CONNECTING TO THE AC SUPPLY
The objective is to determine the nominal voltage and frequency of the available power source, configure the
DMR generator accordingly, and connect it to the AC supply.

5.1 Checking the nominal line voltage and frequency


Consult the user to determine the nominal line voltage and frequency, then measure the open-circuit line volt-
age to verify that it corresponds to that nominal line voltage ± 10%. Allowable nominal line voltages are 200,
208, 220, 240, 380, 415 V single-phase.

5.2 Positioning the voltage selection board


Referring to llustration 1 and Table 1, install the voltage selection board IN2 on the AC Distribution board
200-PL1 according to the nominal AC supply voltage.
JOB CARDS

5.3 Configuring the DMR according to the line frequency


The DMR operates with either a 50 or 60 Hz line frequency without adjustment.

5.4 Voltage selection


Referring to llustration 1, check the position of the wire SEL on the AC Distribution board 200-PL1 – it will
probably be connected to the 240v transformer tap. If this tap selection does not correspond to the nominal
(not the measured) line voltage you determined in section 5.1, then remove and reconnect the SEL wire to the
appropriate terminal.

Note: Do not make a connection to the 0V terminal for the SEL wire – the terminal is reserved exclu-
sively for performing the measurement in Job Card IST 012 and the DMR cannot function nor-
mally when the SEL wire is in this position.

SECTION 5
LINE RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
The objective is to determine the resistance at the line input to the Senographe generator cabinet. The result
of this measurement may have an impact on the maximum allowable generator power (which will be set in
a later procedure).

5.1 Preparation.

5.1.1 Switch off the Senographe and set the generator power switch 200–S1 to the 0 position.

5.1.2 Disconnect voltage selection wire SEL from its normal lug on the generator board 200–PL1, and
reconnect it to the 0V lug.
JOB CARDS

Note: The 0V 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.

5.1.3 Connect the ac voltmeter to the input end of the supply filter and write down the value of the open-
circuit line voltage:
V1 = ......................................

Job Card IST 012 3 of 4

5.2 Procedure.

5.2.1 Turn the AC supply on, set the generator switch 200–S1 to the 1 position.

Note: Read the next step completely before performing it because you will have only 3 seconds to read
the voltmeter (if you miss the reading you will have to wait about 15 minutes to re-take it).
Use MIN – MAX readout mode of your voltmeter.

5.2.2 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) will
be connected across the line input, causing a drop in the voltage reading on the voltmeter. Note and
write down this closed circuit voltage:
V2 = ....................................

Note: After this three-second period the red LED DE3 on the generator board will light, indicating that
heating of the resistive load prevents an immediate repeat reading. After about 15 minutes, the

JOB CARDS
LED will go out and the reading can be repeated if necessary.

5.2.3 Calculate line resistance RL according to the formula:


RL = [(V1 – V2)/V2]  RINT
where RINT, the internal resistive load, depends on the nominal mains voltage:
voltage (V) RINT (Ω)
200 11
208 11
220 11
240 11
380 44
415 44

5.2.4 Having determined the line resistance RL, find the maximum generator power from table 2.
Example: The calculated line resistance is 0.41W. Table 2 shows the highest generator power
that can be delivered with a line resistance of 0.41W and an AC supply of 240v. The
maximum allowable generator power is therefore 3.5 kW.

Note: The maximum allowable generator power will be set later.

SECTION 5
PROCEDURE.

5.1 General instructions


D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
D When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 10mm to ensure that the photo cell is fully covered.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog,(unex-
posed area of the film); then measure the Net density in the middle of the film.
D To avoid confusing results (for you and the software), take care to avoid putting the single-sided film
upside-down in the cassette.
JOB CARDS

D The minimum number of films to expose during this procedure is 9 films.

5.2 Perform a warm up of the X–Ray tube prior of the calibration.


– Set up the senographe DMR in the following configuration:
Mode: Manuel (2–point).
Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid).
Focal spot: LARGE
Track: MO
Filter: MO
HV: 30 kV
mAs: 100 mAs
– Take the exposure

To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.

5.3 Calibration of X–Ray tube heater current

5.3.1 Perform the calibration procedure on the LF/RH focal size/track combination, then on the others
in any order (SF/RH, LF/MO, SF/MO).

5.3.2 Starting 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 SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.3.3 Select the following menu sequence on the console: SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/GENE/

Note: /focal size/track/ must be LF/RH for the first combination performed.

To avoid excessive X-ray doses on the photo-cell tube, place an empty cassette
CAUTION on the top of the image receptor.

5.3.4 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. The messages EXPOSURE NO 1, EXPOSURE NO
2, EXPOSURE NO 3 and CALIBRATION END appear sequentially on the console display. The
software automatically performs the three exposures and the calculations.

Note: Calibration time varies according to tube temperature. The message TOO WARM appears on the
console display when tube temperature is excessive for taking the next exposure. It is not neces-
sary 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 the 2nd trigger button and holding it down.

JOB CARDS
Note: In case of arcing, the software re–attempts the same exposure automatically.

Note: 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 (see Job Card IST
020 AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP).

5.3.5 Repeat sections 5.3.3 to 5.3.4 for each of the remaining focal size/track combinations.

Note: This must be done only if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.4 Perform film reciprocity law failure compensation calibration.


There are two objectives:
1. Calibrate the Senographe DMR for correct film blackening when in AEC (1-point) or AOP (0-point) mode.
This is done in section 5.6.

2. Determine the film reciprocity law failure compensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 for the screen pair
being calibrated. These parameters are determined jointly by the screen pair and the characteristics of the
Senographe DMR product. This determination is done in section 5.7.

5.5 Calibrate X-ray tube heater current at 30 mA.

Note: This calibration does not depend on the screen pair being calibrated, and thus needs to be per-
formed only once for the first screen pair to be calibrated. For subsequent screen pairs, skip this
section and go directly to section 5.6.

Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/FILM/ALGO/


FSC=x/CALIB/LNRT/HEATER/CALIB on the console, where x is the screen pair indicator
(A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated (see Job Card IST 006). Press the 2nd trig-
ger button and hold it down. A series of 3 X-ray exposures is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

Note: This calibration does not depend on any particular configuration of the Senographe DMR, so it
can be performed without any particular attention paid to presence or absence of accessories such
as compression paddle, cassette, grid, etc.
JOB CARDS

5.6 Calibrate reciprocity law failure reference energy.

5.6.1 Select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. Verify the initial film reciprocity law failure com-
pensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 by rotating the kV dial through the three values. The initial
parameter values are given below:
A0init = +1.008E+0 (1.008)
A1init = +1.244E–1 (0.1244)
A2init = +2.277E–2 (0.02277)
If any of the parameter values are different from the initial values given above, correct them
manually by pressing the CHANGE key, then enter the correct value using the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a
Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement in Chapter 1). Once the value is entered and vali-
dated, press the SETUP key once to continue checking the remaining parameter values.

Note: With experience installing several Senographe DMRs, you may find sets of initial parameter val-
ues for certain screen pair types (i.e. high or low speed films, certain screen types) that result in
fewer films being used to complete this calibration.

5.6.2 Ask the doctor for the desired reference optical density (Target net density); generally
OD_R(Optical Density–Reference) is between 1.0 and 1.6.
Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/FILM/ALGO/
FSC=x/CALIB/LNRT/REFEN/OD_ref/CHANGE on the console, where x is the screen pair
indicator (A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated (see Job Card IST 006).

Enter the desired reference optical density by rotating the kV dial and using the NEXT and
VALID keys (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a Parameter Value or

VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.6.5 Press the SETUP key on the console. Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_5 is displayed on the
console screen. Select CHANGE on the console.

Enter the optical density from scale number 5 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

JOB CARDS
5.6.6 Repeat section 5.6.5 for OD_7, OD_9, OD_11, OD_13 and OD_15 from the sensitometry test.

Note: If the message “Scale error” is displayed, the entered values of optical density did not increase as
expected; repeat the test and check that the correct values have been entered.

5.6.7 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid)
– 40 mm plexiglass on the bucky

5.6.8 Install the cassette loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.6.9 IF this is the FIRST exposure, select SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/CALIB on the console. For SUB-
SEQUENT exposures (if any) select only SETUP/CALIB on the console. Press the 2nd trigger
button and hold it down. A single X-ray exposure is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

Note: By default, the first exposure is taken at +7.000E+1 (70) mAs. For certain slower speed films, this
calibration can be done using fewer films if the initial mAs value is increased. To do this, prior
to pressing the 2nd trigger button, select SETUP/SETUP/MAS/CHANGE on the console and
enter the desired initial mAs value using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the kV dial. Then
select SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/CALIB on the console and proceed with the exposure.

5.6.10 Develop the film and measure its optical density.

Note: The grid is not activated during this calibration mode exposure, so it is normal to see grid lines
on the developed film.

5.6.11 Select SETUP/OD_mea on the console. Use the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial to enter
the measured optical density value (see Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a
Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement in Chapter 1.

5.6.12 Select SETUP/CALC/VALID on the console to execute the calculation. At this point, either the
result is satisfactory, and the software displays CALIB END on the console display or, if another
exposure and re-calculation are necessary, the software displays ANOTHER FILM.
In the latter case, re-load the cassette with fresh film and repeat sections 5.6.8 to 5.6.12 without
manually changing the mAs value – the software will have calculated a new mAs value for this
exposure. Normally, no more than 2 or 3 films need to be used before CALIB END appears on the
console display to indicate a satisfactory result.

Note: It is useful to note the updated mAs value determined by the software before taking any subsequent
exposures. This can give you an idea of the initial mAs values needed for certain film types to
reduce the number of films needed during future Senographe DMR installations (see Note in sec-
JOB CARDS

tion 5.6.9).

5.7 Calibrate film reciprocity law failure compensation parameters.

5.7.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 in place
– set the SID to that used by user, 610 mm or 660 mm (most common)

5.7.2 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/LNRT on the console.

Note: There is a delay of about 2 seconds between the moment when the LNRT key is pressed and the
appearance of the succeeding sub-menu titles. This is due to a calculation that the software per-
forms to determine, among other things, the plexiglass thickness necessary for the calibration.

5.7.3 Place the amount of plexiglass indicated on the console display on the bucky and install the cassette
loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.7.4 Press the CALIB button, then press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. A single X-ray exposure
is taken. Release the 2nd trigger button.

If a message “Cooling Tube” or “Cooling Gene” is displayed, wait for cooling.


CAUTION If the message “Pwr too high” is displayed, one or more of the exposure pa-
rameters was not correct. Verify the maximum power setting and repeat the
procedure.

Note: The exposure time can be very short (20 ms) or very long (9 s), so be sure to hold the 2nd trigger
button down constantly until the exposure is complete.

ure compensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 by rotating the kV dial.

Note: Keep these three parameter values with the table in Installation Steering in Chapter 1, once you
have verified them in section 5.9 below. They can be used in the future to avoid repeating this Job
Card during installation of other Senographe DMRs with the same screen pair. The Installation
Steering section explains how to perform the calibration when these parameters are known.

5.8 Set manual density correction step size.

5.8.1 Ask the doctor for the desired manual density correction step size.
For example, if the step size is chosen to be +1.000E–1 (0.1), then, assuming that the reference opti-
cal density of 1.0, the available range of corrected optical density is from 0.5 to 1.5 in steps of 0.1
in both AEC and AOP application modes.

5.8.2 Select SETUP/SETUP/Energ/PARAM/D_STEP/CHANGE on the console. Use the NEXT and


VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the desired manual density correction step size value (see
Visual Display of Parameter Values and Modification of a Parameter Value or Entry of a Measure-
ment in Chapter 1).

Note: In case the message ”Invalid parameters” is displayed on the console:


– Check the results following paragraph 5.9 for verification.
– If the results are correct, continue the DMR calibration / installation. Otherwise restart the job

– bucky 18 x 24 with grid in place
– set the SID to that used by user, 610 mm or the most common 660 mm

5.9.5 Take three exposures, using the screen pair being calibrated, with the following kV and plexiglass
thicknesses, measuring and noting down the optical density of the film, the mAs and the time ob-
tained in Job Card IST043, (IST013 data section) for each one:
– 28 kV with 40 mm of plexiglass
– 32 kV with 15 mm of plexiglass
– 28 kV with 55 mm of plexiglass

Note: Since these exposures are taken in application mode, the grid is activated during the exposures and
thus no grid lines should be visible on the developed films.
The optical density must not vary by more than 0.2 between any two of the three films. If it does,
the entire calibration must be repeated.

Do not, in any circumstances, attempt to manually adjust any of the parame-


CAUTION ters determined by the calibration procedures in this Job Card. If the optical
density is outside the tolerance defined above , then there is an error which
must be corrected by repeating the entire calibration. A satisfactory result
must be obtained before proceeding.

Once the variation in optical density between the three films is satisfactory, check that the optical
density of the 28kV/40 mm film is inside the tolerance of the reference optical density ±0.1 (the ref-
erence optical density was chosen in section 5.6.2).
If the optical density is outside this tolerance, the reference energy must be calibrated as indicated
in Job Card IST 014. To do this, perform the following sequence:

1. Perform the section entitled Perform calibration of reference energy in Job Card IST 014.

Note: The reference optical density must be re–entered following the menu sequence given in Job Card
IST 014.

Note: For the initial calibration attempt, do not use the default mAs value of +7.000E+1 (70). Instead,
use the mAs value obtained above from the 28 kV/40 mm check exposure.

2. Perform the section entitled Check results in Job Card IST 014.

CAUTION ”tweak” manually the GAMMA or ENR_R parameters determined by the
calibration procedures in this Job Card. If the calibration results are not sat-
isfactory, there is a reason which must be corrected; correct the problem and

SECTION 5
PREPARATION

5.1 General Instructions


D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout these procedures.
D When placing plexiglasss on the cassette holder, the plexiglasss must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 10 mm to ensure that the photo cell is fully covered, and the plexiglasss
is set all the way to the rear of the image receptor.
JOB CARDS

D To avoid confusing results (for you and the software), take care to avoid putting the single-sided film
upside-down in the cassette.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog,(unex-
posed area of the film); then measure the net density in the middle of the film.

5.2 Prepare the senographe DMR for this calibration procedure

5.2.1 Calibration of heater current.


– Set up the senographe DMR in the following configuration:
Mode: Manuel (2–point).
Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid).
Focal spot: LARGE
Track: MO
Filter: MO
HV: 28 kV
mAs: 100 mAs
– Take the exposure

To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.

D Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch B1 on genera-
tor CPU board 400–PL3.

5.3 Perform calibration of reference energy.


The objective is to calibrate the Senographe DMR for correct film blackening when in AEC (1-point) or AOP
(0-point) mode.

5.3.1 Ask the doctor for the desired reference optical density OD_R (Optical Density–Reference, the
Target Net Density). This is generally between 1.0 and 1.6.

5.3.2 Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/FILM/ALGO/


FSC=x/CALIB/Energ/PARAM/OD_R/CHANGE on the console, where x is the screen pair
indicator (A,B,C,D,E) corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated (see Job Card IST 006).

5.3.3 Enter the desired reference optical density by using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the
kV dial, see ”visual display of parameters values” and ”modification of a parameter value or
entry of a measurement” in chapter 1.

JOB CARDS
5.3.4 Perform a sensitometry test on a fresh film (unexposed film) being used with the screen pair being
calibrated.

5.3.5 Select SETUP/SETUP/SCALE on the console.

5.3.6 Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_3 is displayed on the console screen.

5.3.7 Select CHANGE on the console.

5.3.8 Enter the optical density from scale number 3 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.3.9 Press the SETUP key on the console.

5.3.10 Rotate the kV dial until the value OD_5 is displayed on the console screen.

5.3.11 Select CHANGE on the console.

5.3.12 Enter the optical density from scale number 5 of the sensitometry test by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.

5.3.13 Repeat section 5.3.9 through 5.3.12 for OD_7, OD_9, OD_11, OD_13 and OD_15 from the sensi-
tometry test.

5.3.14 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/CONFIG/NORMAL on the console (this tells the software that
the calibration is being done for the normal, and not Stereotix 2, mode).

5.3.15 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– any compression paddle installed
– contact (no magnification)
– bucky 18 x 24 wiht grid in place
– 40 mm plexiglasss on the bucky.

5.3.16 Install the cassette loaded with fresh film corresponding to the screen pair being calibrated.

5.3.17 For an initial calibration, use the default mAs value of +7.000E+1 (70) by selecting SETUP/
CALIB/CALIB on the console. For any subsequent re-calibration, follow the instructions given
for entering a mAs value other than the default value (see IST013 Section 5.6.9).

5.3.18 Press the 2nd trigger button and hold it down. A single X–ray exposure is taken. Release the 2nd
trigger button.

5.3.19 Develop the film and measure its optical density (OD) (See section 5.1).
The measured OD should be greater than or equal to (OD_R – 0.2) but lower than (OD_R + 0.8),
where OD_R is the reference optical density chosen in section 5.3.1.
For example: If OD_R = 1.1 then the optical density must be between 0.9 and 1.9
Note: The grid is not activated during this calibration mode exposure, so it is normal to see grid lines
JOB CARDS

on the developed film.


If the measured value is in the required range, go to step 5.3.21 to enter the value into the DMR.

5.3.20 If the measured value is not in the required range, first change the mAs value and repeat the OD
measurement.
If the film is too dark (measured OD greater than OD_R + 0.8), the mAs must be reduced; if the
film is too light (measured OD less than OD_R – 0.2), the mAs must be increased.
Calculate the required change in mAs value as 8% for each 0.1 of OD variation required.
Note: The value of 8% is based on a film gamma of 3.
For example: with an OD_R of 1.1 and 70 mAs the OD = 1.6, which you want to reduce by 0.5;
then 8%  5 = 40%, and 40% of 70 mAs = 28 mAs.
 to decrease the OD by 0.5, you should enter a mAs value of (70 – 28) = 42 mAs.
Repeat the OD measurement with the calculated new mAs value, as follows:

1. Select SETUP/mAs on the console

2. Enter the new mAs value, using the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial
Note: Be careful not to press the SETUP key more than once after entering the mAs value – a second
press will cause the value to revert to the default of +7.000E+1 (70).

3. Reload the cassette and install it in the cassette holder

4. Select SETUP/CALIB on the console; repeat sections 5.3.18 and 5.3.19.

5.3.21 When the measured OD value is in the correct range, select SETUP/OD_MS; use the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the measured value into the DMR.

5.3.22 Select SETUP/CALC/VALID on the console to execute the calculation; Calcul Done appears
on the console display.

– The reference energy (select SETUP/ENR_R on the console)
– The reference optical density (select SETUP/OD_R on the console)
– The sensitometry scale densities (select SETUP/SCALE on the console and rotate the kV dial

5.4 Set manual density correction step size.

5.4.1 Ask the doctor the desired manual density correction step size.
For example, if the step size is chosen to be +1.000E–1 (0.1), then assuming that the reference opti-

JOB CARDS
cal density is 1.0 the available range of corrected optical density is from 0.5 to 1.5 in steps of 0.1
in AEC and AOP Application Modes.

5.4.2 Select SETUP/D_STEP/CHANGE on the console.


Use the NEXT and VALID keys and the kV dial to enter the desired manual density correction step
size value.

5.5 Check Results

5.5.1 If necessary, enable use of the screen pair being calibrated by selecting
SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/VALID/YES on the console.

5.5.2 Perform a ”CKSUM” and go to Application Mode.

5.5.3 Set up the following exposure configuration:


– Mode: AEC (1–Point).
– Screen pair: Select the name of the screen pair being calibrated.
– Focal spot: LARGE.
– Filter: MO.
– Manual density correction: +0.
– 28 kV.

5.5.4 Keep the Senographe DMR in the same configuration as given in section 5.3.15.

5.5.5 Take an exposure, using the screen pair being calibrated, note down the resulting mAs value and
measure the optical density of the film.

Note: Since this exposure is taken in Application Mode, the grid is activated during the exposure and
thus no grid lines should be visible on the developed film.

5.5.6 The optical density of the film must not be outside the tolerance of the reference optical density ±0.1
(the reference optical density was chosen in section 5.3.1). If the optical density is within this toler-
ance, skip directly to section 5.5.8 below.

Note: The reference optical density chosen and entered in section 5.3.1 can no longer be displayed at
this point; it was erased and replaced by the default value when the DMR was returned to Applica-
tion Mode for these checks.

5.5.7 If the optical density of the film is outside this tolerance, repeat the calibration procedure, but use
the mAs value obtained from the check exposure taken in section 5.5.5. To do this, perform the fol-
lowing sequence:

1. Select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/FILM/ALGO/FSC=x/CALIB/Energ./
PARAM/OD_R/CHANGE on the console. Re-enter the desired reference optical density
by using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the kV dial.
JOB CARDS

2. Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/CALIB/mAs on the console and enter the resulting mAs


value obtained from the check exposure taken in Section 5.5.5 by using the NEXT and
VALID keys and the kV dial.

Note: If the measured optical density from the check exposure is greater (less) than the desired reference
density, it is preferable to use a mAs value slightly lower (higher) than the value obtained from
the check exposure.

Note: Be careful not to press the SETUP key more than one time after entering the mAs value. Doing
so would cause this value to revert to the default mAs value.

3. Repeat Sections 5.3.15 to 5.3.23, EXCEPT THAT in Section 5.3.17, IT WILL NOW ONLY BE
NECESSARY TO SELECT SETUP/CALIB AND NOT SETUP/CALIB/CALIB ON THE
CONSOLE.

Note: The greater the difference between the optical density measured during the CALIBRATION and
the desired reference density, the greater the final error in optical density when in automatic expo-
sure Application Mode.

4. Repeat all checks in Section 5.5.

5.5.8 If you have entered the parameters A0, A1, and A2 manually, make the following check (otherwise
go to Section 5.5.9).
Take two exposures using the screen pair being calibrated with the following kV and plexiglass
thickness, measuring and noting the optical density of the film, the mAs and the time obtained in

CALIBRATION OF KV SCALE FACTOR
The objective is to determine the scale factor G and offset VOF between the X–ray tube kV command from
the software and the real kV value obtained.
DEFAULT PARAMETER VALUES ARE G = +6.554E+1 (65.54) and VOF = +0.000E+0 (0.0)

DO NOT touch potentiometer P1 on generator kV/mA board 701–PL1 at any


CAUTION point in this Job Card.

Since MQSA requirement is 5% accuracy, the operator should take into account the accuracy of the measure-
ment method himself to define the read values not to exceed. See Table 1 which gives the limit values for each
used tool.
JOB CARDS

5.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR

5.1.1 Non invasive measurement method.


– Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:
– no compression paddle.
– maximum magnification mode (the purpose here is simply to reduce the distance
between the kV peak meter and the X–ray source – see applicable documentation for
minimum acceptable distance from X–ray source, if any).
– set SID = 510 mm. It is then not possible to produce HV. (the purpose here is simply to
reduce the distance between the kV peak meter and the X–ray source.

– Place kV peak meter on the magnification device or cassette holder. Turn it on and set it to the
MO/MO position. Set the waveform selector to CP (constant potential).
– Use the Senographe DMR light centering device to center the kV peak meter target with the X–ray
zone.
– Starting 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 SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.1.2 Invasive measurement method.


– Connect the HV divider to the HV TANK of generator.
– Connect the multimeter to negative channel of HV divider.
– Set the multimeter in DC mode, adjust RANGE function to get a display with 3 decimal digits,
then select the MIN function with a response of 100 ms.

PREREQUISITES
The Senographe DMR being installed must be equipped with the Stereotix 2 option that has been set up and
calibrated according to the Stereotix 2 Service Manual.
Also, Job Card IST 004 must have been performed before this Job Card.

Note: In case of error messages during this calibration, see IST 041 for explanations.

SECTION 5
CALIBRATION OF PHOTO CELL IN STEREOTIX 2 POSITIONS
The objective is to calibrate the photocell in its Stereotix 2 positions. Because of the different angles between
the tube housing and the photocell when in Stereotix 2 mode, the photocell does not receive the same dose of
radiation as it does when in non–Stereotix 2 mode.
JOB CARDS

Note: Since this calibration does not depend on a certain screen pair, it is not necessary to perform it each
time a new screen pair is introduced.

This Job Card consists of four interdependent calibration procedures which are performed in the following
order:
D Normal, which is done without the Stereotix 2 installed as a reference calibration for the following three
calibrations.
D Stereotix Left, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the right
side as viewed from the front of the gantry.
D Stereotix Center, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the
center.
D Stereotix Right, which is done with the Stereotix 2 installed and the tube–carrying arm rotated to the left
side as viewed from the front of the gantry.

THE FOUR PROCEDURES MENTIONED ABOVE MUST ALL BE PER-

JOB CARDS

D When placing plexiglass on the Stereotix 2 cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front
edge (towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo cell is fully covered.
D Whenever the optical density of a film is measured, the measurement is always relative to the film
base fog level (Net density). Thus, you must null out the densitometer on the film base fog (unex-
posed area of the film), then measure the net density in the middle of the film.
D When measuring optical density of a Stereotix 2 film, the point of measure must be at about 5 mm below
the horizontal reference line, and in line with the vertical reference line.

5.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on
generator CPU board 400–PL3, see ”Accessing the Generator or Gantry Installation Mode from the

SECTION 5
AUTOMATIC X–RAY TUBE WARM–UP
This Job Card provides the procedure for re–starting an X–ray tube that was known to be good upon leaving
the factory, but which 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 automati-
cally repeated. If persistent arcing occurs, the software automatically terminates the warm–up procedure.

SECTION 5
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 cassette holder 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 in fact be done, one for contact mode and one for magnification mode.

5.1 Prepare the Senographe DMR for the calibrations.


Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch B1 on gen-
erator CPU board 400–PL3).

Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

Note: This arrangement is done to simulate the exact film placement when a Bucky and a cassette are
used. This configuration is mandatory to measure accurately the X-Ray area in step 5.8, 5.9
&5.10 (particularly critical for front edge position).
The reason for such criticity is the tolerance decreasing (now 1% of SID for front edge overlap)
induced by various country regulations.

CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE REFERENCE ANGLE
The objective is to determine the X–ray tube angle when in its reference position.
This calibration is done by taking an exposure (at a given SID) whose field coverage depth is limited by the
anode geometry and not by the rear collimator blade, measuring this field coverage depth, and entering this
depth into the Senographe DMR which subsequently calculates the X–ray tube angle when in its reference
position.

5.1.3 Select SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL/CALIB/TUBE/CALIB/EXPOSE/VALID/VALID on


the console.

5.1.4 Take an exposure by pressing the 2nd trigger button.

5.1.5 Develop the film and use the ruler to measure the distance between the front edge (edge closest to
the patient) of the film and the rear edge of the blackened area.

Note: Be sure to measure from the front edge of the FILM, even if the blackened area does not extend
to it.

Note: Be sure that the rear edge of the blackened area truly represents the end of the anode, and not a
stuck rear collimator blade (normally the software commands ”full open” during the exposure)
or other obstacle. This can be determined by the abruptness of the change in contrast between the
blackened area and the clear area. If the change is gradual, the exposure is good. If it is very abrupt,
it is necessary to correct the problem and repeat the calibration.

Note: If the blackened area of the film extends all the way to its rear edge, the X–ray tube reference angle
is severely incorrect and this calibration cannot be performed.

5.1.6 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/MEASURE on the console and enter the measured value in mm

If the message ”calib error” appears instead, this means that the calculated X–ray tube reference
angle value is out of range. To check this, select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. The dis-
played value of the calculated X–ray tube reference angle A_REF must be between +2.800E–1 and
+3.500E–1 (0.28 and 0.35) radians.
If the angle is out of range, correct the problem and repeat the calibration (check first that the SID
was effectively set to 560 mm).

TEST FOR ABSENCE OF GRID LINES ON EXPOSED FILM
The objective is to test for correct grid movement by taking exposures and examining the developed films for
grid lines .

Generalities on gridlines observation:


This procedure describes the optimum conditions for carrying out and analyzing grid line test exposures. It
is important to emphasize, however, that detection of the grid line effect is still a SUBJECTIVE test. In partic-
ular, the following considerations must be remembered:
• It is possible to obtain a good test exposure even on a poorly–calibrated DMR unit.
A tiny variation in speed or exposure time can produce a big variation in the grid lines visibil-
ity. Several exposures, even several patient exams may be required to confirm that the grid line
problem in a system has been significantly reduced after any change in the system .

6.1 Check gantry readout.


Immediately following the power–up sequence, the gantry readout should indicate the X–ray format and
magnification factor only; the breast thickness and compression force readouts should be disabled.
In fact the gantry readout displays the size of the actual X–Ray field taking into account the margins set up.

Note: X–Ray format readout displays the actual X–ray field depending on margins settings configured
in steering guide section 14.v.

6.2 Check column movement.

6.2.1 With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all five column up/down control
buttons are operational (check each button for up and down movement of column).

6.2.2 Move column to its upper and lower limits. Optical sensors should stop movement. If optical sen-
sors have failed, mechanical safety stops halt movement. Total one–way movement time
JOB CARDS

(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.

6.3.1 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).

6.3.2 Rotate arm through its full range of ± 180°. Check that electro–brake is sufficient by manual action
on the handles.

6.4 Check light centering device.

6.4.1 Press one of the light centering device activation buttons. The light centering device should light
for 30 seconds for large formats (eg: 18x24, 24x30). The light centering device should light for
120 seconds for medium and small formats.

6.5 Check format control.


Check that each of the two format control pushbuttons, when pressed repeatedly, result in the sequence: 1)
light centering device lights; 2) first format reduction; 3) second format reduction; 4) full format.

6.6 Check magnification sensors.

6.6.1 Set SID to 660 mm.

6.6.2 With magnification device removed, the gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.0.

6.6.3 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.

6.6.4 Leaving the magnification device in the upper holes, change the SID to 610, 560 and 510 mm
successively. The gantry readout should show a magnification of 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5, respectively.

6.7 Check tube housing arm detents.

6.7.1 With Stereotix 2 NOT installed, 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.

6.7.2 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.

6.8.1 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 goes up and down in response
to each command).

JOB CARDS
6.8.2 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 IST 023 ”CALIBRATION OF COMPRESSION FORCE DETECTOR”.

Note: If the recommended compression measurement tool is not available, this verification can be done
by setting SID to 660 mm, lowering the paddle close to the top surface of the cassette holder, instal-
ling 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.

6.9.1 Set SID to 660 mm, install the 18x24 bucky and place 10 mm of plexiglass in the center of the bucky.

6.9.2 Lower the compression paddle into contact with the plexiglass.

6.9.3 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.

6.9.4 Replace 10 mm of plexiglass with 50 mm of plexiglass and repeat the above check. Now the dis-
played 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.

6.9.5 If either or both of the above checks does not give a satisfactory result, perform Job Card IST 025
”CALIBRATION OF BREAST THICKNESS MEASUREMENT”.

CHECKING FILM PROCESSING
The objective is to check the light–tightness of the darkroom, the influence of the safelighting and correct
operation of the automatic film processor.

5.1 Check darkroom light–tightness and influence of safe–lighting.

5.1.1 Enter the darkroom and load a cassette with the film currently used for clinical purposes, taking care
to protect it from possible fogging from the darkroom safe light or leakage.
Note 1 : The emulsion side of the film must be positioned facing the screen side of the cassette (away from
the tube)

Note 2 : For Kodak Ortho–MA film, the emultion side is underneath when the notch is top left.

5.1.2 In 2–point mode, (HV: 28 kV, mAs=70, 4 cm of plexiglas) expose the cassette to the x–rays in such
a way as to obtain a film with an optical density of between 0.8 and 1.4 (change mAs as necessary
and repeat exposure with a fresh film).

5.1.3 Reload the cassette and make an exposure using the same factors; do not develop the film.

5.1.4 Unload the cassette in the darkroom and place the film on the work surface, emulsion side upwards
and completely covered by an opaque sheet.

Note: for KODAK ORTHO–MA films, the emulsion side is uppermost when the notch is top right.

5.1.5 Prepare the second opaque sheet on the work surface, on the left.

5.1.6 Move the opaque sheet covering the film to the right, uncovering half the film (see illustration 2)
and simultaneously activate the timer.

5.1.7 If this is the first maintenance inspection (reference test) proceed to the next step (5.1.8).
If this is a periodic maintenance check, go to step (5.1.11).

5.1.8 After 15 seconds, cover about a quarter of the bottom lefthand part of the film with the second
JOB CARDS

opaque sheet (see illustration 2, 1st area).

5.1.9 After 30 seconds, move the second opaque sheet upwards in such a way as to cover about half of
the lefthand part of the film (2nd area).

5.1.10 After one minute, move the second opaque sheet upwards to cover about three quarters of the left-
hand part of the film (3rd area).

5.1.11 After 2 minutes, cover the film completely with the first opaque sheet.
Note 1 : if the film is to be handled in the darkroom for long periods (more than one minute), it should be
tested in 5 positions and left for 2 extra minutes in the last position.

Note 2 : if this is a periodic maintenance check, one exposure of the film (of 2 to 4 minutes according to
requirements) will be sufficient.

5.1.12 Develop the film, protecting it with the opaque sheet until it is inserted in the automatic processor.

5.1.13 Write the following data on the developed film :


– date and time
– place

5.1.14 Look for the first area on the film in which the frame line is visible (see illustration 2) and note down
the time corresponding to the area concerned on the film.

5.1.15 Interpreting the results


The time obtained, corresponding to the first visible area, should not be less than 2 minutes.

Note: the ”laboratory safety time”, defined as half the period of time corresponding to the first visible
area, should also be at least one minute.

1. If the time corresponding to the first visible area is greater than 2 minutes, go on to the next pro-
cedure.

2. If the time is less than 2 minutes, check that:


– the safelighting complies with requirements
– there us no visible light leak (door, ceiling, floor, pipe ducts, etc.)
Inform the user of these problems and take the necessary steps to obtain correct results in subse-
quent tests.

3. If the time is less than 1 minute, priority must be given to solving the problem to enable the tests

5.1.18 If either or both of the above two criteria are not met:

1. Check the light–tightness of the darkroom by repeating sections 5.1.1 to 5.1.17 with the safe-
light turned OFF.

2. Check the safelight itself.

5.2 Check automatic film processor.

5.2.1 Perform a sensitometry test on the type of film being used by the customer.

Note: Be sure that the sensitometer is in the green position.

5.2.2 Develop the film.

5.2.3 Calibrate the densitometer to zero on step 1 on the sensitometric strip.


JOB CARDS

5.2.4 Use the densitometer to find the first step whose relative optical density is greater than or equal to
1. Let N be the step found and D(N) its relative optical density.

5.2.5 Measure the relative optical density for step (N+2). Let this measured value be D(N+2).

5.2.6 Calculate the film gamma:


Gamma = D(N+2) – D(N)
0.3
CRITERION: Check that the gamma calculated corresponds to that given by the film manufacturer
within a tolerance of ± 0.35 (e.g. gamma ≈ 3.2 for Kodak Ortho–Ma film).

Example: suppose D(N) = 1.12 and D(N+2) = 2.29:


then Gamma = 2.29 – 1.12
0.3

Note: A gamma value less that 3.0 cannot produce a good image quality in mammography.

5.2.7 If the above criterion is not met, check the automatic film processor (temperature, cleanliness,
change in chemicals, etc.).

The objective is to verify the position of jumpers and switches. Jumpers and switches are divided into three
groups: generator, gantry and console.

5.1 Generator jumpers and switches.

5.1.1 Check (visually, do not remove it!) that the jumper on generator CPU board 400PL3 is installed in
position X2.
See illustration 2.

This jumper must NEVER be removed from position X2 and must NEVER
CAUTION be placed in position TP1. If you find this jumper either removed or placed

SECTION 4
PREREQUISITES
Generator calibration must be successfully completed for the screen pair in question before this Job Card is
performed.

Note: The AOP strategy parameter is determined automatically at the end of IST013 or IST014 refer-
ence energy calibration. So the manual setting of the AOP strategy (IST039) is no longer neces-
sary.
However, if there are several senographe DMR installed on the same site, it may be necessary to
“equalize” all the strategies to the same value, to avoid unjustified mAs deviation between identi-
cal senographes. For this purpose only, it is still possible to read/set the strategy value.
This equalization must only be done if the DMRs are using the same film/screen couple, same film
processor, same SID.

SECTION 5
DETERMINE AOP STRATEGY
This Job Card provides the procedure for determining the AOP strategy parameter for a given screen pair. This
is done by taking a reference X–ray exposure in 1–point mode and choosing the AOP strategy parameter
according to the resulting mAs from the exposure.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BE OBSERVED DURING ALL PROCEDURES GIVEN BELOW IN
THIS SECTION:
D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
D When placing plexiglass on the cassette holder, the plexiglass must always overlap the front edge
(towards the patient) by about 1 cm to insure that the photo cell is fully covered.

5.1 Set up for and take the exposure.


JOB CARDS

5.1.1 Set up the Senographe DMR in the following configuration:


– Any compression paddle installed
– Contact (no magnification)
– Bucky 18 x 24 in place (with grid)
– 4 cm plexiglass on the bucky
– SID : as per customer’s choice
– AEC mode (1–point)
– HV : 28 kV
– Track: Mo
– Filter: Mo
– Focal spot: LARGE
– Manual density correction: +0
993

5.1.2 Load cassette with undeveloped film into cassette holder and take an exposure. Note down the
resulting mAs.

5.1.3 Determine AOP strategy parameter value according to the resulting mAs value:
mAs < 30 => strategy = SUPER FAST
30 < mAs < 50 => strategy = VERY FAST
50 < mAs < 70 => strategy = FAST
70 < mAs < 100 => strategy = MEDIUM
100 < mAs < 150 => strategy = SLOW
mAs > 150 => strategy = VERY SLOW

5.2 Enter the AOP strategy parameter value into the Senographe DMR.

5.2.1 Starting from application mode, change the position of the installation menu enable switch (switch
B1 on generator CPU board 400–PL3, see ”Accessing the Generator or Gantry Installation Mode
from the Console” in chapter 1).

Note: This must only be done if the Senographe DMR has been switched off since the last access to SET-
UP/GENE/INSTAL or SETUP/ARM/VALID/INSTAL

5.2.2 Starting from application mode, select SETUP/GENE/INSTAL/GENE/AOP/FILM/ALGO/


FSC=x/STRAT on the console, where x is the screen pair indicator (A,B,C,D, or E) correspond-
ing to one of the 5 possible screen pairs to be calibrated.

5.2.3 Select the AOP strategy as determined above (SUPER FAST, VERY FAST, FAST, MEDIUM,
SLOW, or VERY SLOW) on the console.

JOB CARDS
5.2.4 Perform a CKSUM and return to application mode.

5.2.5 If you are turning the machine back over to the user at this point, switch the Senographe DMR off,
then on again.

5.3 Changing AOP Strategy of Senographe DMR.


In AOP mode, and following the calibration of a new Screen/Film targets combination, the resulting dose or
mAs value can be too high for a reference exposure on a calibrated equipment.
The origin of Dose value increase is the Track/Kv parameters combination choosen by AOP algorithm which
is optimized to get the best image quality compromise in AOP–CNT mode according to the film sensitivity
index.
Note: High contrast films are used with fast strategy.

The dose value can be reduced following the two methods:


1) Either by changing the technique used by the radiologist, i.e. using a different AOP mode as :
– From AOP–CNT (contrast) to AOP–STD (standard),
– Or from AOP–STD to AOP DOSE.

2) Or by reducing the dynamic range of the image by increasing the kV value. It is obtained if you modify the
strategy of film exposure; reducing its speed corresponds to an increase of the kV value:
– Access to menu /AOP/FSCx/ and set strategy to the immediat lower speed.

Changing the strategy will reduce image quality. It may be done only with the
CAUTION physician agreement.

CHECKS ON PRE-EXPOSURE
Job Card IST 046 2 of 6

SECTION 5
CHECKS ON PRE–EXPOSURE IN AOP MODE

5.1 Purpose of test


For good results in gridlines, it is required to have a good prediction of exposure time in AEC and AOP mode.
This prediction can be affected by an uncorrected adjustment of the kV feed–back circuit on 701PL1 board
(KV/MA board). For example, an overshoot on KV waveform during pre–exposure (pre–shot) would give a
minimized or a maximized value for radiological thickness, compared to the thickness measured during main
exposure.
A simple check is to record the thickness measurement done by photocell during a complete exposure and
compare it to the measurement during pre–exposure. The measurement will have to be done several times to
take in account other variations in the system.
This adjustment does not modify the AEC/AOP calibration; it will improve the grid movement ( the risk of
JOB CARDS

grid lines is more important for short exposure times).


Since generator software 3.26, the AEC mode works with a pre–exposure, same as AOP mode.

5.2 When perform this test


– If you detect gridlines
– or if radiological thickness of an AEC pre– exposure is smaller or equals to the radiological thickness of expo-
sure
– or if you have 097/027 error code in the generator error log file.
Caution:
After each pre–shot or exposure wait 30s before performing other X–rays.
5.3 How to check AEC exposure
The appreciation of Kv rise time is based on the measure of radiological thickness during the pre–shot. When
there is an undershoot or an overshoot of KV this measure of radiological thickness have a significant disper-
sion.

JOB CARDS
So we need to perform at least 5 pre–shot to get a sufficient accuracy; (du to the variability in pre–shot length)

5.3.1 Preparation for test:


• Power–OFF/ON the DMR
• Used a calibrated FSC; note here after the original parameters:
FSC NAME:_________________
• Set and note the following parameters in menu medical:
Disable auto decomp Check if Yes or no
Disable cassette detection
Note the original force limit registered______=______DaN
• SID = 660 mm
• ⋅DMR examination Arm: vertical
• 18x24 compression paddle installed
• Put 4 cm of plexiglass on the bucky; verified that photocell area is covered
• Compress the Plexiglas to get the mechanical thickness as described above; you need always compress with
the same force; chose 11DaN.
• You could set in medical menu, the maximum compression force to 11daN, to get reproducibility of all expo-
sures requested by this job card
• Insert a cassette with film (we do not need to develop this film).
• Choose AEC mode 28kV.

5.3.2 System warm–up in AEC mode 28 kV


• Perform a serie of 5 exposures with 30 seconds waiting time between each exposure in order to warm–up the
tube.

Note: Be sure to record all digits on the console (ex: 4.17 cm)
5. Redo the same exposure, but this time, let the system finish the main exposure.

6. Read the radiological thickness on console.

7. Record this value in Table 1, value THe1 (which stands for Thickness, exposure N°1 ),

8. Repeat steps ”1” to ”7” FOUR TIMES and each time report values in Table 1 (THp2 to THp5
and THe2 to THe5). Observe carefully a waiting time between exposures.

9. Calculate average values for THp, THe and Delta

5.4 Analysis of results


Two conditions are required:
• Average Delta should be comprised between 0.00 and –0.03 cm (no positive value allowed), meaning that
pre–exposure measured thickness is always slightly above the real thickness
• THp minimal is equals or greater than THe maximal
If these conditions are satisfied, go to section 5.7 Final adjustment of KV rise time.
If not, « kV return » signal may not be properly calibrated. Proceed to next paragraph 5.5.

5.5 Corrective action on KV risetime


D If the gap is small (less than 0.2 cm), you can directly fine tune the HV risetime by rotating the potentiome-
ter P1 CW or CCW according to examples given below (one turn corresponds to about 0.01 cm of thick-
ness).

JOB CARDS
Note: P1 is the frequency compensation adjustment of the DMR HV probe (HV connection +
wire…) if you turn P1 clockwise you go to overshoot, if you turn P1 to reverse clockwise you
go to undershoot.
Examples of adjustment for 701PL1 –P1:
First example :

AV_THp 4.03 cm AV_THe 4.06 cm AV_Delta 0.03 cm

In this case, turn P1 by 3 turns clockwise: this will increase THp by 0.03cm approximately.
Refine if necessary.
Second example :

AV_THp 4.08. cm AV_THe 4.01 cm AV_Delta –0.07 cm

In this case, when average delta is equals or smaller than –0.06, turn P1 with a maximum of 6 turns re-
verse clockwise by step: this will reduce THp by 0.06cm approximately; average delta is not linear.
Refine if necessary.

5.6 First Adjustment check


• Perform again the test exposures as specified in paragraph 5.3.2 and 5.3.3 above; note results in table 2 below.
• Results must be in the conditions of paragraph 5.4 Analysis of results

• The purpose is to check the compliance of system condition with respect to a rated and/or reference condition,
i.e. gamma as a function of chemical/Film/Film processor parameters.

• It could help to find out the optimum O.D. which allows a good completion of IST 013.

5.1.2 Procedure:
a) expose the film with the sensitometer set to green, with the film right way up (if single emulsion is used)

• For most of the films, the emulsion is facing down when the notch is on the upper left.
JOB CARDS

• For an X–RITE 333 sensitometer, the emulsion must be facing down with the film up against the stop.

b) Develop the film and write in all data necessary for its identification: site, date and time,

c) Calibrate the densitometer to zero on step 1 of the film sensitometric strip:

Note: Calibration of LNRT and Reference Energy are done using net Optical Density values (without base +
fog).

d) Measure and record O.D. levels for each step ( 1 through 21) in Table 3–1, then draw the sensitometric curve,

e) Note the first step whose relative density is greater or equal to 1 (Sensitivity Index). Let N be the step found and
D(N) its relative optical density, and record it in Table 3–2.

f) Note the relative optical density for step (N + 2). Let this measured value be D(N + 2).

g) Calibrate the densitometer to zero without film, then measure the raw O.D. for step 1 (Base + Fog density). Re-
cord it in Table 3–2.

Sensitivity Index (N) = First step whose relative density
(D) is greater or equal to 1.
Contrast Index = D(N + 2) – D(N).
Density deviation between step N (corresponding to Sensi-
tivity Index) and step N + 2.
Calculated Gamma = Contrast Index / 0.3 See table 3

Note: The Gamma value calculated by the DMR must be close to the Gamma value calculated manually to
get good results about optical density.

SENOGRAPHE DMR+ Job Card IST 050 1 of 2

Purpose: A0 OPTIMIZATION FOR CONTACT MODE Version No.:


Date:

Time: xx min Personnel: 1

SECTION 1
PURPOSE
This procedure applies to the DMR mammographic equipment line.
The standard adjustment made using Job cards IST007 and IST013 guarantees an acceptable Optical Density
variation for each Track/Filter combination.
The two purposes of this additional Job Card IST050 are the following:
1) to check the Optical Density variation for a plexiglass thickness varying from 2 to 6 cm,
2) to reduce the Optical Density variations when switching from one combination to another among the three

JOB CARDS
possible (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh), and allows to be compliant with the specifications of MQSA 2002 stan-
dards (US Regulation). This is achieved by optimizing the values of the coefficients A0 without screen and
with grid coming from IST007 calibration, for Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh Track/Filter combinations.

SECTION 2
WHERE/WHEN
1) For already installed systems:

Where

– In the countries where MQSA 2002 has become a requirement.


– For the other countries if you need to reduce the Optical Density variation.

When

This procedure should be performed once for each Film/Screen combination.


It must be repeated each time Job Card IST007, IST013 or IST014 is redone, for example when the user intro-
duces a new Film /Screen combination

2) For new DMR system installation

Where

This procedure should be performed in all countries

When

This procedure should be performed once for each Film/Screen combination during the first installation of the
system (refer to the “flowchart of AEC/AOP calibration”).

It must be repeated each time Job Card IST007, IST013 or IST014 is redone, for example when the user intro-
duces a new Film /Screen combination

SENOGRAPHE DMR+ Job Card IST 051 1 of 2

Purpose: A0 OPTIMIZATION FOR THE Version No.:


MAGNIFICATION MODE Date:

Time: xx min Personnel: 1

SECTION 1
PURPOSE
This procedure applies to the DMR mammographic equipment line.
The standard adjustment made using Job cards IST007, IST013 and IST046 guarantees an acceptable Optical
Density variation for each Track/Filter combination.
The goal of this additional Job card IST051 is to reduce the Optical Density variations when switching from
one combination to another among the three possible (Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh) inside the magnification
mode, and allows to be compliant with the countries regulations (e.g.: MQSA 2002).

JOB CARDS
This procedure does not reduce the shift between the contact mode and the magnification mode.
This is achieved by optimizing the values of the coefficients A0 without screen and without grid coming from
IST007 calibration, for Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh Track/Filter combination, the Mo/Mo combination being taken as
a reference.

SECTION 2
WHERE/WHEN SHOULD THIS JOB CARD BE PERFORMED?
Where

If you need to reduce the optical density variation between Mo/Mo, Mo/Rh and Rh//Rh inside the
magnification mode.

When

This procedure should be performed once for each Film/Screen combination.

It must be repeated each time Job Card IST007, IST013 or IST014 is/are redone, for example when the user
introduces a new Film/Screen combination.

inhibition.
161/013 indicates no reference crossing during movement.
E55 is the error code type listed in the Operator Manual. This code is easy to use and
communicate, and is considered sufficient for customer use.
161/013 is the ”technical code”, recommended for GE internal communication.

The error code listing currently contains almost 500 codes. Around 200 of these codes
concern software errors which, by definition, should never occur.
If a software error should occur, especially if it occurs several times, please inform Service
Engineering, giving as many details as possible.
The error code listing, below, only contains codes ccc/ddd, to facilitate technical
communication.

Note: *** : these 3 stars indicates an explanation at the end of this chapter (section 3) for a
possible known root cause.

071/081: Generator checksum error: check + 5.1V (see Job Card IST022) and Lithium
battery.

079/002 + 023/006: no mA measurement; change 701PL1 (kV/mA board).

157/005: check for play between compression motor axis and pulley (screw not tightened).

157/006: check for bad feedback from the compression encoder.

157/007: check for defective cable on the compression steel spring.

157/010: loss of compression feedback; a square wave should be always present between TP
14 and TP1 (0V) of 800PL2.

157/012: check cable between 800PL8 and 800PL5.

157/023: check for play between compression motor axis and pulley (screw not tightened).

158/019: check for play between collimator lateral motor axis and pulley (screw not
tightened). Possible problem with 800PL1 (Gantry power board).
ERROR CODES

159/019: check for play between collimator rear motor axis and pulley (screw not tightened).

160/019: check for mechanical play between collimator front motor axis and blade (screw
not tightened).
check for poor position of the flag in optocoupler fork.
check the calibration of front blade in IST030.
171/019 and 171/020:
reset DMR.
check for friction point in sensor; change if necessary.
If problem persists, note software version and call your OLC.
171/021 and 171/024:
reset DMR.
check sensor, connections, and board 800PL5, change if necessary.

1. With the compression paddle out of compression, check that all four sets of column up/down control but-
tons 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.

3. During column movement, check for any noise which might indicate excessive friction or binding.

5.2 Check and clean the column mechanism


Refer to the illustration below, and proceed as follows:
1. Raise the column to its maximum height, to facilitate access to the column mechanism.

2. Switch off system power (see the Warning above).

3. Check for any sign of oil leakage from the gas spring (1). Leakage may indicate the need to change the
spring.
