1-3 TEMPERATURE
During the installation and start-up of the system you must take continuous temperature checks to make sure the
environment meets specifications listed in Section 3 of the Preinstallation manual. Excessive temperature, coupled
with reduced air flow from clogged filters, may overstress components and cause failures.

Filters
Check and clean all electronic equipment dust filters. GE recommends initially doing this on a weekly basis,
because new installations always have dust and dirt present at this stage. Over a period of time, you may increase
the maintenance interval as site environment improves.

Specifications

SECTION 1 - CHECKS DURING


SYSTEM INSTALLATION
During installation, use the temperature/humidity recorder and a thermometer to record the temperature and relative
humidity in the scan room. Make sure the data you collect meets the following temperature and humidity
specifications.
• Gantry / Scan Room
- Temperature: 20 C  28 C (at least 5 C/hr gradient)
- Relative Humidity: 30  70 % RH (Non Condensing)
• Operator’s Control / Equipment Room
- -Temperature: 15 C  30 C (at least 5 C/hr gradient)
- -Relative Humidity: 20  80 % RH (Non Condensing)

Action
Contact the air conditioning supplier or your local GE service department when your data fails to meet any
specifications.

1-4 POWER LINE VOLTAGE


The following assumes that the power source for the system was checked for mean voltage, as well as any line
voltage disturbance during preinstallation site checks.
Instrument
Use the same instrument (Dranetz, etc.) to monitor line voltage during this check that you used during the
preinstallation check. The recommended line analyzer is the Power Monitor (3 channel) with the 101 frequency
option, or Dranetz Model line monitor plug in modules. You can use a similar analyzer, as long as it can monitor and
report mean voltage, surges, sags, short term impulses, and frequency drift.
Check Using an Instrument
Monitor the input power lines (380 VAC) to the PDU at the Power Distribution Box (on terminals L1, L2, L3 and N
line) (hospital supply). Check in particular:
• Verify that the current line voltage equals the voltage measured during the preinstallation check.
• Verify that mean line voltage does not fall outside of equipment specifications during the day to day
operation of other site equipment during the installation period.
• Look for any line voltage disturbances and check for a correlation between disturbances and system
malfunctions such as “Aborts” or component failures.
From the printouts, ensure that the power supply meets the following criteria:
• Line Voltage : 380 VAC
(50/60 Hz) (Normal Steady State)
• Daily Voltage Variation : +10% to -5% from nominal steady state (50/60 Hz)
• Frequency : 50/60 Hz ± 2% Hz

Check Using an Oscilloscope


Monitor the power lines with an oscilloscope and verify that no significant distortion, noise or transients exist. Switch
between the oscilloscope’s long and short time base to monitor for spikes, as well as line drift over time. Generally,
harmonics of the third, seventh, and eleventh derivative will be the most prevalent.

Action
Investigate any condition that falls out of spec. Identify the problem source(s) and resolve the problem.

c. Medium Type specifies the type of film being used. Currently, only Blue Film and Clear Film are support-
ed.
d. Set Destination to the final location for film output: either Processor or Magazine.
e. Film Orientation selects film orientation. Only Portrait is currently supported.
f. Set the Magnification Type. This parameter selects the algorithm used to interpolate pixels for proper film
resolution. Set this parameter after consulting the camera manufacture to ensure optimal image quality.
Choices are described below:

SECTION 2 - SOFTWARE LOADING


• None: No interpolation. This option is not supported by all cameras.
• Replicate: Adjacent pixels are interpolated. This can result in “pixelized” images. This algorithm is not
normal preferred.
• Bilinear: A 1st order interpolation of pixels. Results in images usually described as blurred. This algo-
rithm is not normal perferred.
• Cubic: A 3rd order interpolation. Used with a large number of possible formulations. Camera manufac-
tures define parameters called “smoothing type” to set coefficients used in this algorithm. The imple-
mentation of these “smoothing coefficients” is camera dependent.
g. Select the Standard Film Formats. Select the film format by choosing ON in the pull down menu box lo-
cated below each selection. (See Illustration 2-4) Valid film formats are set by the camera manufacture.
Example: IMATION doesn’t support 1x2, 2x4 or 4x4; AGFA doesn’t support 4x2.
The DICOM print convention designates film formats by column and row. (e.g. 12 on 1 film is 4x3)

2-18 DICOM Print Troubleshooting Tips


The following is a summary of troubleshooting information for DICOM Print that was gathered during software testing
and validation of the DICOM Print feature.

ERROR BRINGING UP THE CAMERA INSTALLATION/FILMING APPLICATION


• Symptom: After creating/modifying the DICOM Print Camera the install camera interface does not come
up and the filming application indicates it cannot bring up the film composer.
Cause: The configuration field contains invalid information such as a backslash (\) as the final character
in the field or brackets ({}).
• Solution: The camera.dev file in ‘~ctuser/app-defaults/devices’ must be manually edited to remove the
offending characters in the set configuration line. Invalid characters include \{}

CONFIGURATION INFORMATION FIELD


• Solution: Hold down the middle mouse button and move the field contents

NEED TO SET DICOM PRINT ATTRIBUTES NOT SUPPORTED BY SOFTWARE


• Symptom: User wants the white border around each image box ON/OFF permanently for this system
and it cannot be set as the default for the camera.
• Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in ‘~ctuser/app-
defaults/devices’ after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
For Trim Off - set TRIM NO
For Trim On - set TRIM YES
• Symptom: DICOM Print Camera supports multiple film sizes and the User only wants to print if the Film
Size is correct for [14x17]. [Otherwise the camera will queue the films or return an error causing the
queue to pause (based upon the DICOM Print Camera specifications).]
• Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line to the camera.dev file located in ‘~ctuser/app-
defaults/devices’ after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
To force a 14x17 film size - set filmSize 14INX17IN
a. Click on Service icon to display the Service Menu desktop, then select Utilities -> Shutdown ->
Application Shutdown -> OK.
b. Click on Shell.

e. Select File -> Save.

f. Type exit <Enter> to terminate the shell window.

NEED TO PREVENT DICOM PRINT ATTRIBUTES FROM BEING SENT TO DICOM PRINT CAMERA
• Symptom: Some DICOM Print attributes are optional, and may result in fatal errors. For example, the
Fuji camera does not support the Empty Image Density parameter for the film box.
• Solution: Using your favorite editor, add the following line(s) to the camera.dev file located in ‘~ctuser/
app-defaults/devices‘ after the DICOM Print device has been otherwise configured.
- To prevent sending the Smoothing Parameter set FB_Smooth FALSE
- To prevent sending the Border Density set FB_Border FALSE
- To prevent sending the Empty Image Density set FB_EID FALSE
- To prevent sending the Minimum Density set FB_MinD FALSE
- To prevent sending the Trim Parameter set FB_Trim FALSE

2-18 DICOM Print Troubleshooting Tips (CONTINUED)

ERROR TRYING TO CONNECT TO THE DICOM PRINT CAMERA


• Symptom: DICOM Print server can be reached (ping), but Application error indicates ‘Unable to start
filming interface‘ and the help message talks about running the install.dasm (Association Error)
• Solution: The system is unable to complete the association. Check the AE Title and the Port number of
the DICOM Print Server and correct them using reconfiguration, CT Camera setting screen.

FILM COMPOSER ERROR NOT USABLE


• Symptom: Film Composer error says ‘unrecognized status - code 0‘
• Solution: Review the log file, the attention and status windows. These areas have the correct filming
status (e.g. film jam, supply empty)

DEBUGGING CONNECTION ISSUES DIFFICULT


• Symptom: The timeouts for the DICOM Print are very long, which means one needs to wait a long time
before you know the application is not working.
• Solution: The timeouts for the DICOM Print were setup to ensure that the system would work regardless
of whether the DICOM Print Camera was on a LAN or a WAN halfway around the world. The DICOM
Print timeouts for the association and DIMSE classes (e.g. N-GET, N-DELETE) can be modified within
the DICOM Print camera installation. They can be reduced down to 90 seconds.

DICOM PRINT ERROR ON N-GET TIMEOUT CONFUSING


• Symptom: When the N-GET timeout goes off, the error message in the prslog file will be ‘Could not get
printer status, invalid command sequence for N-GET‘.
• Solution: When the User sees the above error they may want to consider that the issue may be an
inactivity timer on the N-GET DIMSE Service.

DICOM PRINT CAMERA SLIDE SUPPORT


• Symptom: Current implementation of DICOM Print does not allow selection of slide format.
• Solution: Feature not currently supported. Possibly in future releases.

CONFUSION ON FILM FORMAT NOTATION


• Symptom: GEMS Laser Camera and DICOM Print film format notations are opposite.
• Solution: GEMS Laser Camera film format notation has always been
- row x col (e.g. 12 on 1 = 4x3)
- DICOM Print Standard film format notation is
- col x row (e.g. 12 on 1 = 3x4)

At detector replacement, perform 4 5 6 7.
Note3: Z-axis mis-alignment has serious effect on an image quality for the Twin Detector system, as compared
to the single detector system. Therefor, the Detector position alignment, aperture position alignment, and
tube warm-up sequence at POR and BOW must be properly performed.

4-1 GENERAL (CONTINUED)


Difference of POR Between Twin Detector and Single Detector
For POR of the Twin Detector system, the X-ray beam location after adjustment is determined by the initial position
of the Aperture and Detector (the center between A and B slices).
Therefore, the X-ray beam location adjusted by Film–less POR might be different from one by Film POR, but it is
no problem due to the fact that:
• A slight tilt of X-ray beam against Z-axis has little effect on an image quality.
• The Aperture and Detector are installed using the special tools shipped with the system to ensure reli-
able position and parallelism. (The single Detector does NOT require the aperture alignment tool.)
• During Filmless POR, the X-ray tube temperature is controlled by software so that the X-ray beam can
be exposed at a certain location of the detector. (The single Detector does NOT control the X-ray tube
temperature.)

4-5 DETECTOR BEAM-ON-WINDOW


To ensure that the entire width of the x-ray beam falls within the Detector window, follow this procedure for a Z-Axis
position check/adjustment of the Detector.
For Detector Z-Axis alignment of the dual slice system, high accuracy is required for geometric position between X-
ray beam and detector. Detector is aligned so that each detector channel (A-ch and B-ch) counts becoming same.
This Filmless Detector Z-Axis alignment require a scan to the user, and calculates ratio of counts between A side
and B side on 3 area (left, center, right). The ratio is converted to tolerance of detector (mm) and displayed. The
user move detector and retry BOW.

5-2 HILIGHT CALIBRATION

5-2-1 General
This Hilight calibration should be performed prior to the Spectral Air and Phantom Calibrations; and the Spectral Air
and Phantom Calibrations should be performed if once the Hilight calibration is performed.
The x-ray tube must be sufficiently cool (the tube case temperature must be below 10 % heat level).

WARNING
ROTATION HAZARDS! SOME HILIGHT CALIBRATIONS ROTATE THE GANTRY (SEE THE

SECTION 5 - SYSTEM CALIBRATION


TABLE BELOW). WHEN HILIGHT CALIBRATION IS PERFORMED WITHOUT THE GANTRY
COVERS INSTALLED, ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT NO PERSON IS IN THE SCAN ROOM.

Hilight Calibration Does gantry rotate?


Yes (The Gantry rotates during warm-up sequence,
Q-CAL
but stops during data acquisition sequence.)
AV-CAL No
Yes (The Gantry rotates during warm-up sequence,
DG-CAL but stops during data acquisition sequence.)

5-2-2 Q Calibration
The focus position of the x-ray tube shifts with temperature change. It will consequently shift the x-ray beam position
along the Z-axis. In this calibration, the following scans are automatically performed:
• six scans (Thickness: (0.6), 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 mm) (when the x-ray tube is cold)
• warm-up scans
• six scans (Thickness: (0.6), 1, 2, 3, 5, 7 and 10 mm) (when the x-ray tube is hot)
This calibration takes approximately 10 minutes.
1. Preparation:
a. Remove the left side cover from the Gantry.
b. Switch OFF the ‘CB2’, ‘CB4’ and ‘XG Power’ switches at the PDU.
c. Remove the Gantry covers except the rear cover.
d. Switch ON the ‘CB2’, ‘CB4’ and ‘XG Power’ switches at the PDU.

NOTICE
The detector temperature must be at a specified temperature before alignment, otherwise
alignment result is not exact.
2. Select Q-CAL, refer to below:

Service  Calibration  Service Calibration  Q Cal


Note

The bow-tie filter must be removed during Q calibration .

5-2-3 AV Calibration
The light emission of the Lumex Crystal persists after the x-ray radiation stops. This phenomenon is called ‘After
Glow.’ This procedure creates a file called After Glow Vector, used to compensate the After Glow.
This calibration takes approximately 2 minutes.
1. Preparation:
a. Remove the left side cover from the Gantry.
b. Switch OFF the ‘CB2’, ‘CB4’ and ‘XG Power’ switches at the PDU.
c. Remove the Gantry covers except the rear cover.

3. Follow the procedure that appears on the monitor screen.

5-2-4 DG Calibration
If some scans are performed with the same conditions but with different scan times, the CT numbers may not be the
same for these scans. This is due to Converter Board gain changes caused by different scan times. The DG
calibration reduces the CT number changes.
This calibration takes approximately 3 minutes.
1. Preparation:
a. Remove the left side cover from the Gantry.
b. Switch OFF the ‘CB2’, ‘CB4’ and ‘XG Power’ switches at the PDU.
c. Remove the Gantry covers except the rear cover.

Note
For the system with the asymmetric option only, the CT # value displayed is the original one. Note
that the updated data is NOT displayed.

Perform this <CT Number Adjustment> after completing the Spectral Air Calibration and Spectral Phantom
Calibrations.
In addition, if you have any doubt whether the CT numbers of the phantom are good or not, perform the CT Number
Adjustment. This adjustment modifies the CT numbers of the 43 cm CAL files until water has a CT number equal
to zero and air has a CT number equal to -1000.
It takes approximately several minutes to complete this adjustment.
Note
The CT# of water will change according to its temperature by a factor of -0.4/C.

• SYS/MNL (SW2): SYS
• JOG/OFF/CNT (SW3): OFF
• FAST/SLOW (SW4): SLOW

CAUTION
Gantry may experience sudden high speed rotation due to order from the OC. Be very care-
ful; stand clear of the rotating Gantry.

3. Check that the Gantry Initialize Sequence is normally performed.


a. Be ready to hit the Emergency OFF switch in case of any rotational problems, and then, switch ON the
‘CB2’‘CB4’‘XG Power’ switches.
b. Make sure Axial Drive display is ‘d’.
c. Set the TGP service switch SVON/SVOFF to SVOFF.
The Gantry starts rotating at 15 sec/Rot and stops after pass home position (during which Gantry Initialize
Sequence is performed). The Axial Drive display is ‘E’.
Note
For one new axial drive, TGP need configure parameters for it. During configuration, LED ‘MNLT’
is lit on TGP board until TGP finishes the operation. This procedure takes about 3 minutes. After
the configuration, the Gantry can start rotation.
During the Gantry Initialize Sequence, if the Gantry can not rotate (ex. TGP service switch (SVON)
is set to ON), LED ‘ERRG’ is lit on the TGP board. (Waiting for Gantry rotation) To release this sta-
tus, set the service switches properly.
Note
Before LED ‘MNLT’ is off, make sure not to switch off the power of TGP or the Axial Drive, otherwise
it will probably cause the Axial Driver in fault.

Service Switches
The following four switches on the TGP board provide off-line control of gantry rotation.
Note
Repeated acceleration and deceleration operations of the gantry over a limited period of time with
these service switches may cause an Overload Alarm state or overheating of the energy dissipation
resistor in the servo amplifier.
When doing the operations, take a pause of approximately 20 seconds before changing the speed.

Table 2-3 Service Switches

SWITCH SWITCH POSITION FUNCTION


SW1 SVON The axial driver would be disabled, and the Gantry can be rotated by
SVON (Service ON) hand manually.
SVOFF The axial driver would be enabled, and external force can’t pull the
SVOFF (Service OFF) Gantry, Gantry can rotate only by OC instruction or service switches.

SW2 SYS When the SW1 is in SVOFF state, only instruction from OC can make
SYS (System Mode) Gantry rotate. SW3 and SW4 can’t make Gantry rotate under this
condition.
MNL When the SW1 is in SVOFF state, TGP will not response to OC
MNL
(Manual Mode) instruction. SW3 and SW4 can make Gantry rotate under this
condition.
JOG This switch is a spring load switch. When the switch toggled to this
SW3 (JOG Rotation) position, Gantry shall rotate continuously under the speed setting of
SW4. When release this switch, Gantry rotation will stop.
JOG
OFF TGP would give axial driver 0 rpm speed command and motor will
OFF stop rotation.
CNT CNT Gantry will rotate according to the speed setting of SW4.
(Continuous Rotation)
SW4  Gantry will rotate with speed 1.0sec/Rev.
FAST FAST
