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
This chapter presents the Senographe DMR installation procedures. The wiring and room
layout requirements for the product are covered in the Pre–Installation Manual.
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
3–1 Introduction
This section describes how to use the Senographe DMR console during installation.
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).
1–1
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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
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
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.

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

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.

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.
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.

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).
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.

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.

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

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

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.
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:
– 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.
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).

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

ibration such as:

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

GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
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.

5.2.3 Note the filament current value measured from the ammeter.
5.2.6 Enter and validate the measured filament current value from the ammeter for this first calibration
point.
5.2.7 Select SETUP/SETUP/2nd pt/CALIB on the console for the first calibration point.
Note: The default filament current command value for this second point is +5.000E+00 (5.0) A.

lizes (this may take a few seconds).
5.3.7 Note the filament current value measured from the ammeter.
5.3.9 The expected results are 4.0 ± 0.02 A for the first point and 5.0 ± 0.02 A for the second point. If the
results are within these tolerances, the calibration for this X–ray tube track is finished. If the results
are out of tolerance, repeat the calibration procedure in section 5.2 and the check procedure in sec-
tion 5.3 for the same X–ray tube track.
JOB CARDS
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.
5.3.10 Select SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console. Note down the calculated values of scale
factor K and offset VOF. Each of these two values can be displayed alternately by rotating the kV
dial on the console.
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.
5.3.13 Re–connect flat cable WG8 to generator command board 400–PL1 connector XJ7, remove high
voltage cable adapter. Do not forget to secure the HV ring with the Allen screw, to insure proper
ground continuity.

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.
5.1.1 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.
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

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).
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.

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).
To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.
5.1.2 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
Note: To insure that the photo cell is fully covered by the plexiglass, be sure that it overlaps the front

5.2.4 Select SETUP/PARAM on the console. Note down the calculated values of parameters beta and
gamma. Each of these values is displayed by rotating the kV dial on the console. Since the third
parameter, alpha, always has a value of zero, it is not necessary to note it down.
Note: The value of alpha MUST be zero. Do not modify it under any circumstances.

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.
Note: This default AOP strategy value will be verified and changed, if necessary, at the end of screen
pair calibration. This value has no effect on screen pair calibration.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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-

Therefore, each configuration must be calibrated twice – once with and once without a screen.

5.5 Connecting the fibre-optic cables
Fibre-optic cables are more fragile than ordinary coper-stranded cable and
CAUTION you must therefore treat them with greater care – bend or twist them only as
much as is strictly necesary to install and connect them.
1. Route the black plastic pipe protecting the fibre-optic cables as shown in Ilustration 5, taking care to keep
a smooth radius on all bends (fibers are routed under the capacitor box, through the middle of the genera-
tor).

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 = ......................................
3–76
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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.
5.2.4 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.

You must strictly follow the order of AEC calibration for each screen pair given in Installation Steering in
Chapter 1. In particular, the three film reciprocity law failure compensation parameters A0, A1 and A2 for the
screen pair being calibrated must be unknown. If they are known, it is useless to follow the procedures in this
Job Card (see AEC calibration sequence and “Recommendations for AEC/AOP calibration procedure”
given in Installation Steering of Chapter 1).

PROCEDURE.
To avoid excessive X–Ray doses on the photo–cell tube, place an empty cas-
CAUTION sette on the top of the image receptor.
5.3.1 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
3–80
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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
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.
3–81
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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.
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
5.6.1 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).

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.
5.6.8 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.
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).
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.
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.

GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
Note: The grid is not activated during this calibration mode exposure, so it is normal to see grid lines

5.7.6 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.
5.7.7 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 is necessary, the software displays ANOTHER FILM.
In the latter case, press the SETUP key once and repeat sections 5.7.3 to 5.7.7. As many as 15 films
may have to be used before CALIB END appears on the console display following the calculation,
indicating a satisfactory result.
JOB CARDS
Note: Be sure to update the amount of plexiglass on the cassette holder (if necessary) according to the
indication on the console display.
5.7.8 Select SETUP/SETUP/PARAM on the console and note down the three film reciprocity law fail-
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.
5.8.1 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.

REV 9 sm 2240777–100
5.9.1 If necessary, enable use of the screen pair being calibrated by selecting SETUP/SETUP
/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/VALID/YES on the console.
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.
3–86
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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.

PREPARATION
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.
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-

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
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:
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).
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

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.
5.5.1 If necessary, enable use of the screen pair being calibrated by selecting
SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/SETUP/VALID/YES on the console.
5.5.4 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.

REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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
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.
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
Job Card IST043 (IST014 data section) for each one:
– 32 kV with 1.5 cm of pexiglass.
– 28 kV with 5.5 cm of plexiglass.

Check the optical density value obtained previously with 4 cm, with 1.5 cm, and with 5.5 cm. It must
not vary by more than 0.2 between any two of the three films. If it does:
1. Check the reciprocity low failure compensation parameters A0, A1, and A2.
– If the parameters are not correct, re–enter them manually as explained in Chapter 1 of
the Installation Steering Guide, and perform this Job Card, IST 014, from the beginning.
– If the parameters are correct, check Job Card IST 007.
If Job Card IST 007 does not check correct, perform the entire Job Card IST 007 before
performing Job Card IST 014 again.
2. If all the previous checks are correct, check the automatic film processor by making several sen-
sitometry tests and comparing the results (see Job Card IST 034, Section 5.2).

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.

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.

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. The chronological order of AEC calibration given in
Installation Steering in chapter 1 must be strictly followed for each screen pair.
In case of Stereotix 2 add–on to an already–installed Senographe DMR, follow the instructions given in the
section entitled AEC Calibration Upon Stereotix 2 Add–on in Chapter 2.
SECTION 5
PREPARATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
D The photo cell must be in its most forward position (towards the patient) throughout the procedures in
this Job Card.
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
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

5.3 Perform calibration of reference energy in Stereotix 2 mode.
The objective is to calibrate the Senographe DMR for correct film blackening when in AEC (1–point) mode
with Stereotix 2.
Do not go any higher in the menu tree structure than given in the various
CAUTION steps in this section. If, for any reason, you do go higher in the tree structure,
it is essential to go into the CONFIG/STEREO menu first to avoid acciden-
tally using the default NORMAL mode, before proceeding with the calibra-
tion.
5.3.2 Select SETUP/PARAM/OD_R/CHANGE on the console. Enter the desired reference optical
density by using the NEXT and VALID keys and rotating the kV dial. See ”Visual Display of Param-
eter Values” and ”Modification of a Parameter Value or Entry of a Measurement” in chapter 1.
Note: Normally, this value should be the same as the value used for the non–Stereotix 2 calibration in

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.

changed, collimator front and rear blades are moving at once. For the moment, only consider the
movement of the collimator front blade. Stop changing the value when alignment is correct.
Note: If it is impossible to align perfectly the front blade (Diff_F is always above 2 mm, see illustration
3) perform Job Card IST 036 (Adjustment of centering device lamp).
Note: The centering light should turn off and on again when you enter this menu.
5.4.2 Use + & – keys or rotate console kV button to change the displayed value. The value changes by
step of 5 units, starting from the previous value (e.g. –12, –7, –2, +3, +8 ...etc). When the value is
changed, only the lateral and rear collimator blades are moving at once. Stop changing the value
when alignment is correct.
Note: If it is impossible to align simultaneously the lateral and rear blades, try to find a position where
Diff_L and Diff_R are both less than 2 mm (see illustration 4). If this compromise is impossible,
perform Job Card IST 036 (Adjustment of Centering device lamp).

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.

JOB CARDS
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

5.1.7 Select SETUP/Calculation on the console to execute the X–ray tube angle calculation.
Normally, the message ”calib OK” appears on the console display.
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).

CALIBRATION OF ALL COLLIMATOR BLADE REFERENCE POSITIONS
The objective is to determine the lateral, rear, and front, collimator reference positions. The result is that the
software will then be able to command and obtain any desired X–Ray format.
This calibration is done by taking three exposures (at a given SID):
– A first exposure with blades at optical fork reference.
– A second exposure as large as possible.
– A third exposure as small as possible.
The width and depth positions of the blackened areas of the exposed film are then measured and entered in

5.2.7 Note the exposure time as displayed on the console display. If it is within the range 0.200 to 0.300
S, develop the film and proceed directly to step 5.2.10. If it is above (below) this range, increase
(decrease) the HV by 1 kV and repeat the exposure using the same undeveloped film in the cassette.
Continue increasing or decreasing the HV by 1 kV until a satisfactory exposure time is reached, then
proceed to the next step.
Note: For an unusually slow film (i.e. if the exposure time is still greater than 300 mS at 30 kV), remove
the Plexiglass from the bucky and continue the search for a satisfactory exposure time.
Note: For an unusually fast film (i.e. if the exposure time is still less than 200 mS at 22 kV), increase
the amount of Plexiglass on the bucky to 2 cm and continue the search for a satisfactory exposure
time.
5.2.8 Re–load the cassette with a fresh undeveloped film that corresponds to the screen pair being used

GENERATOR TESTING
The objective is to check quickly the generator kV, mA and mAs calibrations, which have already been done
in the factory. At the same time, these procedures will warm up the X–ray tube slightly in preparation for the
AEC calibration.
5.1.3 Connect the digital mAs meter to kV mA board 701–PL1 (on HV tank unit 701) between terminals
MES_MA_POS and MES_MA_NEG. Disconnect the jumper that is normally between these same
two terminals.
5.1.5 Take 5 exposures at approximately 20 second intervals, incrementing the HV by 2 kV each time
(i.e. 22 – 24 – 26 – 28 – 30 kV).
5.1.6 Take 5 more exposures at the same interval, leaving the HV set at 30 kV.
5.1.7 The X–ray tube current value displayed on the console (Idisplay) must be 100 mA ± 5 mA AND in
agreement with the value read on the mAs meter (Imeasure) ± 5% (this value is available both for
GS412 and Maxiray 70TH–F tubes).
IF Idisplay ≠ Imeasure then perform Job Card IST 016 ”CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE MA
MEASUREMENT” followed by Job Card IST 003 ”CALIBRATION OF X–RAY TUBE
HEATER CURRENT”.
5.1.8 Take 2 exposures at 40 kV and 50 mAs at an interval of 30 seconds. No arcing should be detected.

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.
6.3.1 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.
6.4.1 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.
6.6.2 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.

6.7.1 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.
6.8.1 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.
6.9.1 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.

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.
5.1.1 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).
3–187

REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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
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.
5.1.14 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.
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.

light turned OFF.
5.2.1 Perform a sensitometry test on the type of film being used by the customer.
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).
Note: A gamma value less that 3.0 cannot produce a good image quality in mammography.

The objective is to adjust the position of the centering device lamp (in all three dimensions, if necessary) so
that the lit field coincides, within acceptable tolerances, with the exposed X–ray field. This is done by first
exposing a film and then illuminating it on the image receptor support to check the coincidence of the lit field
with the exposed area on the X–ray film. The following properties of this coincidence are measured and
adjusted, if necessary, in the following order:
Lateral centering
Field width coincidence
Field depth coincidence
Field front light alignment
Note: Field width, depth and front can be fine–tuned using procedure detailed in IST 028.

JUMPERS AND SWITCHES
The objective is to verify the position of jumpers and switches. Jumpers and switches are divided into three
groups: generator, gantry and console.
5.1.1 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
in position TP1, the generator CPU RAMs are totally erased, necessitating
a TOTAL RE–CALIBRATION of the generator and AEC.
5.1.2 Check that the jumpers JP1 and JP2 are installed on generator command board 400PL1 (they must
NOT be in parking position JP3 and JP4 at this point). See illustration 1.
Note: JP1 and JP2 are in relation with room relays on 200PL4. See Job card IST042 “Room lights wir-
ing” for details.

REGULATORY PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION LABELLING ON GANTRY AND GENERATOR
The objective is to attach regulatory product identification labelling in the local national language to the gantry
and generator of the Senographe DMR. This is done by affixing specific national language labelling over the
existing labelling in English.
Note: If the national language is English, skip this section and proceed to the next section.
To attach product identification labelling in the local national language to the gantry and generator of the
Senographe DMR, proceed as follows:
1. Locate the three small plastic bags containing labelling in different languages inside the emergency
maintenance kit.
2. From each of the three plastic bags, select the label in the local national language. Two of the labels are
identical to each other and smaller than the third label.

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.

REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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.
5.1.2 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
3–216
GE Medical Systems SENOGRAPHE DMR+
REV 9 sm 2240777–100
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
5.2.3 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.
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.

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

PROCEDURE
• Position the luxmeter photocell at a distance of 30 cm from the viewbox, in direction opposite to the
latter (to measure the light received on viewbox surface),
• Record the Lux value (on datasheet) and proceed the same way for other viewboxes.
Pass criterion: Each measured Lux value of ambient light must be < 50 Lux.
• Five test points are identified in each diagnostic area (one test point at the center, and four test points at
the corner of an area of 35 X 43).

PROCEDURE
5.1.1 Purpose:
• 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,
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.

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 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?

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

with a metal grounding clip which must be securely fixed as shown in the illustration on the next
page.
– Generator AC Incoming Line cable. Check tightness of connections for incoming phase, neutral
and ground wires.
– HV cable. To ensure proper grounding of the HV cable, tighten the 1.5 mm allen screw on the top
of the cable locking ring at both ends of the HV cable.
Note: If the HV cable is not properly grounded, then intermittent console lockup and random error messages
could occur – in such an event, check the grounding at both ends of the cable.
– Anode return cable (2109238). Check that X–ray tube anode return wire (marked BLOC + HT)
is connected to the threaded stud marked with a ground symbol on the top of the HV unit (for more

PROCEDURE
2. Verify that both sets of compression/decompression pedals and the manual compression knobs located on
the paddle holder all function correctly (i.e., the paddle moves up or down in response to each command).
3. 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, one
point at 15 daN, and one point at 20 daN. The value on the gantry readout must agree within ±1 daN. If
it does not, perform Job Card Calibration of Compression Force Detector in Service Manual.
Note: If the recommended compression measurement tool is not available, this verification can be done
by lowering the paddle close to the top surface of the cassette holder, installing the magnification
device in the upper pair of holes, and connecting a spring dynamometer (calibrated from 0 to
20 daN) between the compression paddle and the magnification device.
