Security aspects for Remote Service:
The remote access to DigitalDiagnost is only possible via SSH (Secure Shell) applications. The protocol is
still TCP/IP (FTP) in combination with a SSH client on the remote station. Instead of TELNET it is
recommended to use PuTTY.
Classic TELNET will not work with 1.5.x The FTP client has to be substituted by WINSCP 2 (or higher).
Both tools are freeware even for commercial use. They can be installed on the service PCs without
administration rights.
Remote access to the Service Tool is made by VNC (Virtual Network Computing).
The remote-tools are available on the Zeppelin Tool CDROM or can be downloaded from the Internet.
Details in the Internet:
PuTTY : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
WINSCP : http://winscp.vse.cz
VNC : http://www.realvnc.com/download.html
The DigitalDiagnost system can also be accessed via RSN (TELNET SSH / FTP SSH and VNC).

If activated RIS data transmitted to DigitalDiagnost will be routed to PCR USIT for the use of free
cassette examinations.
• USIT Mount point (PCR):
Help screen :
NOT for PCR Reaeder Integration !!!
Special situation:
1. DigitalDiagnost uses BWLM
With Release 1.4.1 the Send to PCR file does not use any delimiters (except TABs).
No configuration possible on DiDi side. PCR must be configured in a way that no delimiters are used.
2. DigitalDiagnost uses ASCII RIS
DiDi is routing the RIS file through, to PCR. This file includes the original delimiters sent by RIS.
(orig. RIS file = Send To PCR-RIS file)
Problem:
DiDi : BWLM no delimiters / USIT: ASCII RIS with delimiters

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
There is a conflict with the delimiters. Files will be rejected by the USIT.
ON USIT: The delimiter set-up can only be done once for both RIS activities.
Solution: Both devices DiDi & PCR must use the same RIS file !!
• Enable Conventional RIS

Conventional RIS does not require a license anymore. To activate conventional RIS only click this
button.
• RIS Date Input Fomat

Select the date format which is sent by the RIS system. If not correct…the RIS data cannot be
handled as required. (If BWLM is activated the RIS Date Input Format is fixed ! )
• RIS Backannotation
If a connected RIS system is capable to use back annotation it can be activated here. The back
annotation file is sent to the HIS_OUT directory. The RIS system needs to fetch the file from that
directory via FTP/NFS.
NOTE
RIS Back annotation can also be used if DICOM BWLM is activated. If MPPS is activated, RIS Back
annotation is in-active.
• Back annotate Local patients:
If active, RIS data from manually entered patients (e.g. emergency patients) is sent as a back-
annotation file to the HIS_OUT directory.
• RIS Transfer Modus
FTP OR NFS
Username : rishis
Password : hisris
• Special for NFS RIS:

NOTE:
If you configure conventional RIS via NFS the nfsd and stated RPC services will be started. The Solaris
system is patched with all recommended and security patches up to Sep 2002. However both these services
are considered security risks. We strongly recommend upgrading your RIS services to DICOM BWLM or
conventional RIS via FTP.

7.3.1 Known problem when transferring the Backup
It could happen that the scp (secure copy) / ssh (secure shell) creates strange error messages when the
authorization key changed.:
“ Remote host identification has changed. It is possible….”.
The copy process could not be completed. This could happen if the software has been re-installed.
Solution: Delete all files like “knownhost…” in:
/export/home/SABRE/.ssh/……
Enter a command tool:
cd <return> Access the SABRE home directory:

/export/home/SABRE
cd9.ssh <return>
ls <return> List the content of: .ssh
rm9knownhosts* <return> Removes all files with: “knownhosts…”
Keep the file “authorized_keys” in the directory!!!
7.4 Nice to know commands

cdT <return>
7.4.2 Software crash. Emergency menu.
When the system software may not start-up or crashes, it re-boots automatically up to five times.
If this is not successful a menu is shown:
It gives you three choices to proceed:
1. Login as service:
This opens the remote service menu and gives some additional changes to solve the problem or to save
several log-files.
2. Revert to the last “Master Recovery Point”
This re-starts the system at the configuration state of the last valid Master Recovery Point
3. Shutdown & Switch Off
This is usually the customer’s action at that status of the system. In this case the local service needs to be
called.

1 Introduction
The DigitalDiagnost Service Tool is a software package used to test or set-up different areas and functions of
the DigitalDiagnost System.
When logged in for service the user can switch from service tools to patient list without logging in/out.
New users can be created by Philips local service to allow restricted access to the Service Tools area.
Important Note:
It is strictly forbidden to give the service & install passwords to anyone who is not authorized.
The customer and the local Philips engineer accept full responsibility for the creation of local users and
passwords.
1.1 General usage of buttons and fields

To keep all tools/screens consistent some general buttons always have a similar functionality. They are
explained here and not explicitly for every screen. Special buttons are explained for every screen:
ADD starts an extra screen to add new items to a list. Details

Add can be selected out of special selection pop-ups.
EDIT opens the EDIT tool to modify an activated item from a

Edit
list.
INSERT fills in a new item above or below the activated list-

Insert (above/below)
item.
Duplicate DUPLICATE copies an activated item from a list.
New NEW creates a new item/set-up.
DELETE deletes the activated queue items (marked black).

Delete
DELETE ALL deletes the whole list / queue etc..

Delete all
Save Apply SAVE / Apply saves modified data to disk.
OK OK saves modified data to disk and quit the actual screen.
CANCEL quits the modifications without saving them.

Cancel
RETURN closes the screen and jumps back to the previous

Return screen.
HELP gives a short online help-screen.

Help
EXIT closes a window or leaves a tool. If data was

EXIT changed make sure SAVE was used.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Some screens have toggle buttons which activate a list of choices to

be activated.
Use the cursor (mouse) to click on the small internal button (left
mouse button) and move the cursor to the required selection of the
pop-up list. Release the left mouse button to confirm this selection.
1.2 Status Bar

The Status Bar is accessible during (nearly) every system activity. It is used to display information about
different processes and/or status information. Errors can be indicated with a color turn from “normal” green to
red.
Yellow is displayed to indicate a “temporary” not ready status while a dark image is acquired. If this happens in
the System Status window (most right) this indicates that a Dark Image is taken automatically.
If the HCU (DICOM Print) or the External Device windows is yellow, the device is set to PAUSE.
In case of an error the display right to the button(s) shows a text indication on a red background. If a message
(not an error) it can be displayed on a yellow background or the green background.
1.3 Processing Status

The processing window gives information about the status of the processing of images. If the window is empty
no image is in the processing queue.
1.4 External Device

This window displays status information about active DICOM devices connected to the system as:
DICOM nodes for VERIFY (list of archive nodesÆ UI descriptions are displayed)
i.e.:
BWLM
EV
PACS
etc…
Device
i.e.:

Load into the UNIX file system. It is ready as soon as the status
window shows disk information and the Status Bar window
shows “loaded”. The load process is only possible with a
formatted/labeled DOR or CD-R.
Unload Deactivates the inserted Storage Medium from the UNIX file
system. The Storage Medium can be taken out of the drive.
DOR only ! (not for CDROM): Formats the inserted DOR. This
Format deletes all data !
Read Index.. READ INDEX is used to import stored images/patients on

Storage Medium into the patient list of the system. This does not
copy an image to disk!

This procedure performs an upload of an ASCII dataset to the optional Wall Stand Display. This display is
connected via the IRA interface board in the wall stand.
Make sure the display is connected, the system is switched ON completely before starting this process.
It will take some minutes and usually ends with a “success” indication message.
If no Wall Stand Display is connected this process can be started…but will be cancelled after some minutes.
This procedure is only required to be performed ONCE after the installation of the display.
With a new system it is already done in the factory !
The Wall Stand Display only works with DigitalDiagnost Release ≥1.3 and IR CAN BOARD level ≥.3 with
FW ≥2.1 . (1.3.1: IR Can 2.2)
2.7 PCR Reader MUTL (only for COMPANO)
In addition to the workflow using the digital detector it is now possible to integrate images from the directly
connected Compano Reader into the image pool. The PCR plates are identified by the connected barcode
reader and linked to the current patient. The patient list can show images from the DiDi detector AND the PCR
plates.
This MUTL tool is a 1:1 implementation of the tool used for standard PCR systems.

3.2 CAN Monitor

The CAN Monitor Screen is used to view lists of CAN Objects (COBs) that have occurred within the CAN
Network. When the screen is first opened the ”CMS Object List” field displays all COB definitions either
completely highlighted or only ”none-or-more”. The last type of display is a result of clicking the ”Save As
Default” button when none or only some of the items were highlighted before the screen was exited.
The ”Log Messages” field displays all current log messages as they are generated. This display is stopped
(”frozen”) or started (”un-frozen”) by clicking the ”Sample” button.
To adjust the field size (in a vertical direction) there are two (2) ”buttons” at the right-edge of the screen. With
the cursor positioned over one of the ”buttons”, the mouse can be used to move the ”button” up / down the
screen. Only the fields immediately above and below the ”button” are adjusted.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4 Acceptance
The Image Quality Tool (IQ) is a combination of a calibration Tool and Test (Acceptance) Tool. It is usable in
case of Image Quality problems (fault finding) and during preventive maintenance or for System Installation.
The tests are producing results in form of an image or numeric. The numeric values are stored in the Result
tool. Important results can be write protected so that “housekeeping” does not delete the data.
All Tests including the calibrations are performed partly without or with X-Ray. The X-Ray tests have to be
activated by using the hand-switch. All other tests are performed automatically. Some tests require special
test-objects. Refer to the related section to check for the correct positioning.
CAUTION:
Never cancel a test or calibration sequence until it is finished.

Never EXIT the tool until the calibration and/or tests are not finished. Check the Process Control window in
the Status Bar to make sure that no images are in the process-queue.
Figure 4-1, Image Quality Tool (Acceptance)
NOTE
All tests are based on a performed calibration (Pixel & Gain). For reliable results of all tests, perform
the calibrations first.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Some available tests are for different usage:
1. Factory (NOT for Service)

2. Customer (a sub-set of calibration and test items -> Quality Assurance (QA) )

4.1 Detector Working Conditions
SID: 110cm for all tests (150cm for wall-detector)

X-Ray Beam alignment: focal point is located on the axis of the detector central axis
Range of temperature: 10 ... 30°C (Room)
Range of humidity: 20 ... 80% RH (Room)
Range of air pressure: 70 ... 110kPa (Room)
Range of detector (inside-)temperature: 35 ... 50°C (Refer to Detector Diagnostic Tool)
Let the Detector stabilize to a room specific temperature.
4.2 Detector calibration
NOTE
This section describes the Gain and Pixel calibration.

In addition every ~20 sec the Detector is “calibrated” automatically by acquiring a “DARK IMAGE”. This
calibration is used for the offset correction of every image.
4.2.1 Auto Pixel-Calibration
Starting with a complete calibration after system installation, the system (Pixel-) calibrates itself
automatically by using every examination.
Every 4-6 weeks it is only required to perform the Gain Calibration.
Restrictions for Autocalibration:
The Auto Pixel-Calibration is only valid for detector areas used for the examination/image process.
The full area of the detector must be exposed in a significant fraction of images to make ensure a sufficient
calibration. In some cases it could be necessary to re-calibrate the system manually (PIXEL & GAIN)
How to make sure the calibration is sufficient:
¾ If the image quality is degrading a full calibration must be performed
¾ In most cases only RGDV TOMO must be calibrated separately (only GAIN every 4-6 weeks)
¾ The status of the calibration is still indicated in the “System” window under “Last Calibration”.
If switched from “accepted” to “undefined” the calibration must be completed by re-calibrating the
detector (PIXEL & GAIN)
¾ The Calibration Timeout (Timer) can be set to any required interval.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4.2.2 General Preparation
NOTE
Make sure no high dose X-Ray was taken before the calibration is started.
Wait about 20 minutes in this case.
Make sure the Detector has already reached working condition (stabilized temperature)
Usual preparations:
Æ A Grid is not used for every test.

Æ 21mm AL block (Test object) is not used for every test.
Æ SID table 110cm / wall stand (s) & VM 150cm (Special: Different fixed SIDs for DiDi with FS fix)
Æ No object in the X-Ray beam (VM: No table inbetween !)
TH: Make sure no aluminum border of the tabletop is in the beam!
Results / output:
All tests are producing an image. Relevant information is given in the Result Tool.
In most cases film diagnostics is only possible for experienced engineers.
Some tests are designed to be performed ONLY using the film (i.e. X-Ray Area) or the screen.
NOTEs:
Æ X-Ray has to be started by pressing the X-Ray button.

Æ No-X-ray is released automatically.
Æ Any un-complete or interrupted calibration must be repeated completely.
Æ In case of errors or other defects the calibration must be repeated completely.
The Image Quality Tool provides different calibrations:
1. Offset calibration / Tomo Offset calibration

This calibration is detector specific. If the Detector requires this calibration it stays active in the list. If it
is not required it disappears. Delete calibration makes this calibration available again. If one of two
Detectors needs this calibration, it stays in the list.
2. Gain calibration / Tomo Gain calibration
First part of the calibration procedure. Wait until processing is finished before starting the Pixel
calibration.
3. Pixel calibration / Tomo Pixel calibration
Second part to complete the Detector calibration.
4. PCR Calibration
If PCR is integrated (optional) into the DiDi system.
The PCR reader needs to be calibrated (Homogeneity / Sensitivity )
NOTE
If an initial calibration is required (i.e Detector Exchange):
Always perform Offset calibration, Gain calibration and Pixel calibration in one sequence.
Always start with the Offset / Gain calibration and wait until the processing is finished before the Pixel
calibration is started.
Even if no image quality problems are visible, the gain calibration(s) should be repeated every month.
If the IQ stabilizes this interval could be increased.
A separate pixel calibration is usually not required. Exception: Detector Exchange !

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4.2.3 Offset calibration

This calibration produces the OFFSET image. The offset stability (no x-ray) is measured based on 5 dark
images at different points of time. This calibration looks for noticeable offset behavior of pixel or groups of

Exposure Index (EI)
In addition to the switch-off dose measured by an external dose-meter, the system automatically calculates the
EI (Exposure Index) for each exposure. This value is inversely proportional to the dose it is derived from the
histogram analysis. This value is displayed in the image and printed or sent with the image.
There are slight deviations for different kV-settings and filtration. (standard: 70KV, 21mm AL)
Definition: EI [µGy-1] = SENSITIVITY [LSB / µGy] RQA * 1000 / 10Keyvalue [LSB]
Key value:
This is a calculated value based on a histogram analysis and is dependant on the detector-

The particular limits are mentioned under the test itself.
Levels of classification:
1. Accepted
2. Good
3. Ok
4. Warning
5. Error
The limits are fixed for every test. Some errors and or warnings can be seen as tolerable some can lead to an
exchange of the detector.
Level 1–3 Qualifies the Detector to be in specifications for medical usage.

Level 4 Indicates IQ problems. A Detector exchange could be required.
This must not be an urgent state.
Level 5 Indicates an urgent IQ problem.
Check if interfacing, cabling, power supplies are ok and the check / calibration where
performed correctly. If those peripheral items are functional the Detector must be

This deletes unmarked Results data. It helps to keep an overview of relevant data. Especially initial
acceptance data just after the installation can be marked as “ reference tests”.
4.4.3 ECV value
Definition of ‘Effective Cluster Value’ (ECV):
The “Pixel calibration & Tomo Pixel calibration” detects and classifies untypical pixels automatically. These
untypical pixels are added via a weighted sum we call ECV, in which isolated pixels contribute with a low
weight compared to clinically more relevant larger clusters (e.g. whole lines / columns).
This value allows a good classification of the quality of the detector concerning the amount of defective pixel
dependent on their location.
Limits:
Accepted: 0 - 230000
Good: > 230000 - 270000
OK: > 270000 - 458400
Error: > 458400

4 Exchange of the NVRAM
In case of a defective NVRAM chip it must be replaced by a new one. The default settings however will
crash the system. Several changes are to be performed.
Good indications that the NVRAM is faulty and needs to be replaced:

Real time clock is not running correctly (if system was switched off)
Ethernet address shows “ff.ff.ff…”
Hostid shows “ffffff” or other strange contents.
The NVRAM module keeps several specific settings for the functionality of the system. Here are some:
• Realtime clock
• Host ID
• Ethernet address
• Several environment setting (see listing below)
NOTE:
In case of an exchange (NVRAM) a new License paper / License Floppy / CDROM is required.
Contact the Service Support Group (CS) in Hamburg to order .

4.1 NVRAM (U10 / Blade 2500)
This needs to be performed in case the NVRAM or the SUN (incl. NVRAM) is exchanged. Under normal
conditions the software installation process automatically sets the NVRAM correctly. If the NVRAM is
exchanged while the PCI boards are still inserted, a system boot is not possible.
Note Blade 2500:
The NVRAM settings are now buffered by an external (CR 2032) Lithium cell on the main board. If data is
lost it could be expected that the battery is empty and needs to be replaced. Refer to the SUN
documentation for details.

In case the workstation is defective and the replacements of boards did not help or begins to be more
expensive than a complete replacement. This could be the case if the motherboard/CPU needs to be
replaced.
6.1.1 Keep in mind

If you order a new SUN Blade it is required to receive a new license CDROM for the new HostID.
OR you take your OLD NVRAM and install it to the new workstation.
In this case the OLD licenses could be re-used.
If you need to use the new NVRAM (new hostID) some additional set-ups needs to be completed. The
software needs to be installed in a certain sequence.
NOTE:
Backups from different workstations (hostIDs)
Refer to the pages above “Exchange of the NVRAM”. can only be restored when they are based on
the IDENTICAL software release !!
6.2 Replacement SUN U10 Æ SUN Blade 2500
Backup
In case an ULTRA 10 workstation needs to be replaced it is required to restore the U10 backup into the
SUN Blade 2500. There is a big hint…the U10 creates the backup on a DOR..the SUN Blade 2500 cannot
read a DOR but only a CD-R. The U10 does not have a CD-Writer !
There is a tricky way to create a U10 backup on a CD-R by using both workstations connected via a
network or simply a network cross-cable. Both workstations MUST have the same software release. In
other cases the backup cannot be restored.
NOTE:
The Customization Manager settings incl. Licenses cannot be restored to the NEW
workstation.
Note down the values ! In emergency cases: They are stored on the backup CDROM in the
sysinfo.cfg file
Path: CDROM: \ CONFIG_xxxxx \ UNIXBACKUP \ CUSTOMIZATION \ sysinfo.cfg.
The license CDROM delivered for the NEW workstation (SUN Blade) must be restored via
the CM.
Follow the instructions in the “Software Installation” section to proceed.
NOTE:
If the U10 is defective, it is obviously not possible to follow the described procedures.
It is basically required to have both workstations running to transfer the backup (U10 Æ BLADE)!

6.3.4.1 Known problem when transferring the Backup

It could happen that the scp (secure copy) / ssh (secure shell) creates strange error messages when the
authorization key changed.:
“ Remote host identification has changed. It is possible….”.
The copy process could not be completed. This could happen if the software has been re-installed.
Solution: Delete all files like “knownhost…” in:
/export/home/SABRE/.ssh/……
Enter a command tool:
cd <return> Æ Access the SABRE home directory:

/export/home/SABRE
cd9.ssh <return>
ls <return> Æ List the content of: .ssh

rm9knownhosts* <return> Æ Removes all files with: “knownhosts…”
Keep the file “authorized_keys” in the directory!!!

1 HCU Calibration
The HCU Calibration is a relevant procedure to guarantee good image quality. The calibration consists of a
Greylevel Calibration AND the Scale Calibration.
The detailed procedure is described in the UNIT manual “DICOM Print”.
2 Detector Calibration
The detector calibration is divided into 3 parts:
1. Offset calibration / Tomo Offset calibration
The Offset calibration identifies a special artifact type and will not be visible anymore when this kind of
artifact is not found.
2. Gain calibration / Tomo Gain calibration
The Gain calibration is the only calibration, which needs to be performed every 6-8 weeks. The customer can
do this.
3. Pixel calibration / Tomo Pixel Calibration
The Pixel calibration is performed by the system automatically with every patient image. There is no need to
perform it manually.
After the installation of a new system or the replacement of a detector all the three calibrations need to be
performed initially.
For detailed information refer to the Service Tool section.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

NOTE:
While the Up-Date process is running do not activate any other function on the System.
Do not press any button on the Generator / Control Desk.
4.1 Procedure
Make sure the Optimus Generator and the Sun Workstation are switched on.
1. Enter the Service Tool.
2. Klick on SET-UP / APR-Update.
3. Click on START. 1
4. Wait until the process was successfully finished (message).
5. Click on Save to DB to store the synchronization data into the database. 2
6. After the save process ended successfully click EXIT to leave the tool. 3
7. Switch OFF / ON the Generator.
8. Restart the System (System Æ Logout Æ Restart).
9. Switch OFF the Generator Æ Switch ON the Generator.
If the synchronization process between the database and the Optimus was successfully finished the
following message appears:

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
NOTE
If EXIT is used before saving the changes the following warning pops-up:
Note:
Until the synchronization information was not saved to the database the update is not active.
In this case the System does not get ready. The APR update must be repeated.
If the save procedure was ok the following pop-up is displayed:
• Click on “Dismiss” to confirm the screen.

• Exit the APR Update Tool.
• Restart the System.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4.2 If APR Up-date was not successful
4.2.1 APR Up-date incomplete
It is possible that APRs situated in the Database as a part of an AQDS have no “partner” in the Optimus
generator. They cannot be linked automatically.
This must be performed manually using the following screen. This screen appears as soon as “stand alone”
APRs are found. They need to be linked manually.
If unmapped APRs are identified while the APR-Update is saved, this Screen pops-up:
Click on Dismiss to confirm the screen.
Another screen appears. This activates a manual mapping mode.
4.3 Manual APR mapping

If un-mapped APRs are identified by the System this screen pops up:
Figure 4-2, Un-mapped APRs

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
The “?” indicates, that this APR has no corresponding APR in the Optimus. The “X” indicates that the
mapping was valid. After all APRs are mapped correctly (no “?” anymore) the “confirm button can be
pressed. This brings you back to the main screen of the APR Update Tool. Click on “save” again. This
should now be successful.
Mapping the Database APR to a valid Optimus APR:
1. Activate the first APR from the list (highlighted).
2. Click on EDIT.
3. The selection screen give you a list of all Optimus APRs. The correct APR must be selected.
4. Click on OK to activate the selected APR. This brings you back to the mapping screen.
5. If all APRs in the mapping screen show no “?” anymore click on confirm. This brings you back to
the main APR Update screen.
6. Click on “SAVE”. And wait until the “successful” pop-up is displayed:
7. Click on dismiss and leave the APR Update Tool ( “EXIT”).
8. The procedure is now completed.
9. Shutdown and Restart the System (System Æ Stop Æ Restart).
NOTE
If the APRs data-set language stored into the Generator does not correspond to the one used in the
DigitalDiagnost software (language !) the mapping always run into failure condition.
4.3.1 APRs inconsistent (Error Message)
If inconsistent APRs are identified by the System i.e. after a restart this message occurs:
In this case the APR update must be performed:
1. Click on ignore to confirm this screen.
2. Enter the Service Tool (if not made already).
3. Activate the APR Update Tool and perform the up-date procedure.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4.4 If APRs are inconsistent
Error:
"APRs are inconsistent" even when APR update was just made successfully.
Special situation:
The system uses only ONE RGDV (+FREE): RGDV TABLE or RGDV WALL STAND
Could happen when:

New (modified) APRsets are uploaded
APRs with different language are uploaded
With this system configuration it could happen that the APR update succeeds properly.
BUT...
When an examination is performed, the system asks for another APR update.
With the error message: "APRs are inconsistent"
Remedy:
Create the RGDV3 once on the generator. (AGENT)

Fill it with the APRs from the CD (APR Manager)
Create in Customization Manager the Wall Stand VS (temporary) / Or table
Perform an APR update once (DiDi)
Delete the RGDV3 at the Generator (AGENT: Tube to "none")
Remove the temporary wall stand / table settings in the Configuration / Cust. Manager.
It does not help to “ZERO” the Optimus CU or to delete ALL APRs....no need to try it.
This effect may also happen if there is ONLY one wall stand (RGDV3) but no table (RGDV1). Follow the
instructions as described above. (Create an additional RGDV temporary and fill it with APRs....and delete it
later )

1 Easy Vision Print for DigitalDiagnost
Advanced Print (EV Print) cannot be ordered any longer with new systems. It can be used on existing
systems also when upgraded to 1.5.x.
EasyVision Print & DICOM Print cannot be used in parallel!
1.1 Introduction
EasyVision RAD is able from release 4.2L2 onwards to work as a dedicated print server for DigitalDiagnost.
Through this configuration DigitalDiagnost is able to use printers and print formats configured on EasyVision
RAD.
So so-called Advanced Printing for DigitalDiagnost option was available as a complete software/hardware
package:
Advanced Printing for DigitalDiagnost 9896 050 05261
EasyVisionRAD SUN Blade 1500

EV RAD software 1.4.1: 4.2L6
EV RAD single user software key 4.2
EV RAD PCR software key 4.2
EV RAD EasyPrint software key 4.2
The EasyVision RAD serving as a print server holds an ASCII file named configuredPrinters.dat in the
directory /easydata/UI/configuration. This file contains all configured printers with their specific identification
strings as they are used in the user interface of the DigitalDiagnost. Every printer is listed in combination with
real printer name, used film format, film type, etc.
For printing remotely via EV RAD the DigitalDiagnost is using special print
protocols. These protocols must be available on the EasyVision in order to
perform printing. From release 4.2L3 or higher, 20 default print protocols
for DigitalDiagnost are available on the EV RAD in addition to the other
standard protocols.
Print protocols for DigitalDiagnost are always starting with the prefix DD
(see figure). Other protocols cannot be used.
When the system has been upgraded from R4.2.Lxx software and an
existing customization has been kept, the 'DD' protocols do not show up in
the list. In that case the protocols must be loaded manually.
Refer to paragraph 1.2, "Restoring Default Print Protocols".

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
1.2 Restoring Default Print Protocols (EasyVision)

The below mentioned items are language dependent and may show up differently. The procedure described
keeps any existing print protocols.
1. Start the Customization tool.
2. In the screen area Print Protocols select under Application package Æ PCR Viewing.
3. Delete all standard print protocols, keep all customized print protocols and click [Save].
4. Exit the EV Customization tool and start it again.
5. Activate on the top bar Restore PMS settings and click [Save].
6. Select again PCR Viewing, all standard PMS print protocols plus all customized print protocols are now
available.
NOTE:
Modify print protocols require application-experience on the EasyVision, otherwise it may not work .
The existing “DD” protocols are tested and are working.

NO:
The image is not sub-sampled
(scaled down) for printing.The
scale is kept to about 90%-100%.
YES: The image can be sub-
sampled to a lower ratio. Less
than 50% is possible.
This may lead to bad printing
quality if the printer resolution
is too low!

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Default Printer (Default printing format)
Select the smallest possible or available format/printer

It is recommended to use that one containing the smallest film-size. The printing process takes care to start
with the smallest possible film size and will take the next larger size in case the smallest does not fit.
Enable EasyVision Printing
Active : EasyVision printing is activated.

IN-Active : NO printing is active. Printing only via PACS.
1.4 Printing DigitalDiagnost images and PCR images on same Film

Using the EV remote print functionality both image types from DigitalDiagnost and from PCR can be printed
on the same film. In this case use the option “Patient name once “ which can be activated in the PCR print
format editor of the print tool.
The condition for this option to work properly is that all data elements listed below have to be identical for all
images to be printed on the same film:
DICOM_PATIENT_NAME DICOM_PATIENT_BIRTH_NAME
DICOM_PATIENT_ID SPI_PATIENT_ENTRY_ID
DICOM_PATIENT_BIRTHDATE DICOM_ACCESSION_NUMBER
DICOM_PATIENTS_BIRTH_TIME DICOM_INSTITUTIONAL_DEPARTMENT_NAME
DICOM_PATIENT_SEX DICOM_INSTITUTION_NAME
DICOM_OTHER_PATIENT_NAMES DICOM_MANUFACTURER
If the option “Patient name once” has been selected but one or more of the images printed on the same film
do not conform to another image regarding at least one of the data elements above listed the patient name is
not printed on the film at all. The name field on the film is filled with “ *** “. This film is not valid and cannot be
used.
An image can be temporarily printed out with the option “Patient name once” switched OFF. On this film the
patient name is printed on any of the images.

Due to security aspects the root / super user password will not be published anymore !!
2 How to access UNIX
To access the UNIX prompt in the DigitalDiagnost system UNIX can be started via either:
1. Command Tool
2. A service PC connected to the Ethernet connector (network) or
3. Remotely via modem/network/RSN
Passwords:
NOTE
Passwords and Product Licence Strings are confidential and are not published in this text. If they
are unknown please contact Philips Medical Systems, Hamburg, Germany.

3 UNIX structure for files / directories / disks
The UNIX file system is a structure for organising information or data. The data is grouped into
named entities called files as follows:
Directory A special type of file containing information about other files and
directories.
All files and sub-directories are contained by the main directory named
root (/).
Sub-directory A directory contained within another directory.
A Sub-directory can contain files and more sub-directories.
File A container to store data.
Files can consist of memos, reports, graphics or other types of data.
4 File names
The filenames have these characteristics:

- Case sensitive
- NO extensions

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
- NO version numbers
A dot is just another character in the filename. Filenames that start with a dot are called dot-files, or
hidden files, because they are only be listed if the list command has the right option.
In referring to filenames, the following wild-cards can be used:
? Represents any single character.
• Matches any number of characters (including none).
5 File types
The UNIX system uses four types of files as follows:
Ordinary file This type of file is used to store data. It may contain binary data
(executable files, data files) or ASCII data (text files, script files).
Directory file This is a directory file and contains a list of files.
Symbolic link This is only a pointer to another file.
Device file Block type (e.g.: Tape drive).
Character type (e.g.: Terminal).
The Device Files are used to reference physical devices, such as terminals, printers, disks and tape
drives. They are read-from and written-to just like ordinary files, but such requests cause activation
of the associated physical device.
Unix uses two special directory files:
. This represents the working directory.

.. This is the parent directory to the working directory.
NOTE
The parent directory is the directory one level above the current working directory.
6 Basic commands for directory handling
Listed below are the basic commands for directory handling :
pwd Displays the path name of the current working directory.

cd or cd~ Changes working directory to login directory.
This is the home directory, which is specified in the password file for every user.
It is the home directory for the user sabre: /home/SABRE
cd .. Changes the working directory to the parent directory.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
cd /name Changes the working directory to a Sub-directory name.
The “name” is the name of the “file”.
mkdir This makes a directory.
NOTE
The addition of -p allows missing parent directories to be created as needed.
rmdir Removes a directory but ONLY an empty directory.

rm -r Deletes the contents of a directory, its sub-directories and the directory itself.
mv Renames the source directory to the destination directory.
7 Basic commands for directory listing
The ls command lists the contents of directories. The second way to use ls is to specify either the
absolute or the relative pathname of the target directory. This does not change directories. Listed
below are the basic commands for directory listing:
ls Lists all (non-hidden) files.

ls -F Put a slash (/) after each filename if the file is a directory.
Put an asterisk (*) after each filename if the file is executable.
Put an at-sign (@) after each filename if the file is a symbolic link.
ls -a Lists all files - including hidden files.
ls -aF Lists in a combined way the options -a and -F.
ls -l Lists the properties of each file. The list is in long format.
ls -lu Indicates the last time the file was accessed.
ls -s Gives the size of each file.
cp -r Copies files and sub-directories of a directory (source) to a second directory
(destination), along with its files and Sub-directory.
8 Basic commands for file manipulation
Listed below are the basic commands for file manipulation:
file Determine the file type (e.g. : file /etc/passwd). Displayed as “ASCII text".
cat Concatenates (i.e.: puts one file after another) and displays files on the screen.
Example: cat file1 file2 (file1 and file2 are displayed).
cat file1 file2 > file3 (file1 and file2 are written in file3)
more Displays the contents of a file one screen at a time.
page Pages through a text file.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
view To view a file with the “vi” editor in the “read only” mode.
head Shows the first part (default 10 lines) of a file.
tail Shows the last part (default 10 lines) of a file.
cp Copies a file.
ln Creates a symbolic link for a file.
mv To move or to rename a file.
rm To remove a file.
NOTE
The addition of -i provides a prompt for confirmation.
9 File access permissions
There are three classes of file (system) user and three modes of file access offered by the UNIX file
system. This gives a total of nine different kinds of access permission.
The three classes of file (system) user are as follows:
Owner (or user) (u) The owner is usually the user who created the file.
The super-user can change the individual ownership of a file if
necessary.
The owner has full control over restricting or permitting access to the
file at any time.
The ownership of a file can be changed by the system administrator
with the “chown” command.
Group (g) A system user who is not the file owner may access the file, but only
if this user belongs to the group of system users who are allowed to
access the file.
However, this user cannot restrict or permit access to the file. Only
the owner is allowed to do this
Other (or world) (o) This category refers to any other user of the system.
There are three ways of accessing a file. The meaning of these access modes is different for files
than it is for directories as follows:
Files read Examine the contents (view, cat)

write Change the contents (vi)
Create and remove files (rm, vi, cp)
execute Use as a command (“filename”)
Directories read Examine the contents (ls)

write Create sub-directories (mkdir)
Change contents (rm)
execute Rights of passage (cd)
Exploration (cp)

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
To determine the set of access permissions of a particular file the command ls -l can be used. This
gives a directory listing with the long listing option as follows:
# ls -l apple
rwxrwxrwx 1 erik 1024 Jun 20 10:05
apple
Where :
- The dash in the file type field indicates that the file is an ordinary file.
Other possibilities are:
d Directory file
l Symbolic link
b Block-type special (disk device)
c Character-type special (terminal type)
p Special “fifo” file (named "pipe")
Example 1 : rwxrwxrwx The first three characters (read, write and execute) in the access permissions
field gives the permission for the Owner.
The next three for the Group.
The last three for the Other.
If a specific permissions is not allowed, a dash (-) is placed at the that
position.
Example 2 : rwxr--r-- The file can be read, written to and executed by the user.
The file can be read by the group and the others.
1 The number of links for this file.

erik The file owner.
1024 The size of the file in bytes. For special files the device driver and the number
of units.
Jun 20 10:05 The date and time when the file was last changed (modification time).
apple The filename.
10 Basic commands for changing the file access permissions
NOTE
Some files can only be accessed with super-user permissions .
Listed below are the basic commands for file access permissions:

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
touch Updates the access and modification times of a file.
chmod Changes the mode and the file access permission (absolute and symbolic mode).
chown Changes the owner of a file (only root can do this Æ Not allowed anymore).
chgrp Changes the group ownership of a file.
To change permissions of a file, these abbreviations are used:
u User (owner) permissions.

g Group permissions.
o Others (world) permissions.
a All of user, group and others permissions.
= Assign a permission absolutely.
+ Add a permission.
- Take away a permission.
Example 1 : chmod a=rwx apple

(As ame as: chmod 777 apple)
ls -ld apple
drwxrwxrwx 1 erik 17 Nov 9 21:40 apple
Example 2 : chmod g-rwx,o-rwx apple

ls -ld apple
drwx------ 1 erik 17 Nov 9 21:45 apple

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
11 Date command
Due to security aspects the date cannot be changed any longer on UNIX level (no root access !)
Use the Customization Manager instead.
To display the current date/time/time zone at the command prompt:
type in: date <return>

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 WHAT IS COVERED BY THIS MANUAL:
Basic network set-up

DICOM Node set-up
MPPS, Storage Commit
DICOM BWLM/RIS set-up (RIS Mapping)
DICOM Export Filter set-up
DICOM Print is covered by a separate manual: Refer to : “UNIT Manual “DICOM Print”.
1.2 DICOM GENERAL INFORMATION
DICOM is the agreed standard set by ACR-NEMA to transmit / receive data via a network in medical
applications. The conversion of the data from DigitalDiagnost to a DICOM is completed within DigitalDiagnost
itself.
DICOM
is an abbreviation for Digital Imaging and COmmunications in Medicine.
ACR-NEMA
is an abbreviation for Association of Computed Radiographers - National Electrical Manufacturers
Association.
DICOM divides the transmitted data into two (2) parts, the Header and the Data. Within the Header there are
Groups and Elements that each have an individual and constant meaning. The same Group / Element
combination ALWAYS have the same meaning and therefore action for the transmitted data.
Example 1
Group / Element (0000,0000): This always defines the depth of the Header and
the combined Data.
Example 2
Group / Element (0010,0010): This always defines the Patient’s Name.
Other Group / Element combinations define the Networking conditions, the functions, type of image, etc.. For
the type of image, there is a further breakdown to define what to do with the Image (e.g. : ”Store”, ”Print”,
etc.). For DIGITALDIAGNOST (at the time of printing) only the ”Store” definition is used. This is defined
further as either ”Archive” or ”Viewing”. DIGITALDIAGNOST supports the Class ”CR” (Computed
Radiography) within DICOM. Refer to the DICOM Conformance Statement (part of this manual).
NOTE
Only ”Post-Images” can be ”Stored” and ”Viewed”

(according to Class ”CR” as used by DigitalDiagnost).
Exception: DICOM store to EasyVision RAD. This can be Pre-Images
For more details also refer to DigitalDiagnost Conformance Statements (s) and the DICOM standard:

2.1 NETWORK REQUIREMENTS

Connection via standard ethernet connector. 10/100/100 MB Network.
2.2 QUICK NETWORK CHECK
IP-Address “PING”
From the COMMAND TOOL:
Use the „ping“ command to check if the IP address you want to connect to is alive:
1. Open a command tool
2. Type in: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <return>

(xxx.xxx..... is the valid IP address or hostname)
The message „xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx“ is alive tells you the connection to network is working. It does not mean
DICOM/RIS are working. This has to be defined in the configurations.
In addition a DICOM VERIFY (refer to section 3.6 DICOM VERIFY) checks for activ/valid DICOM nodes. This
is limited the the nodes which are already configured. Also refer to section Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden. DICOM Configuration

NOTE
The DISPLAY_STD and Measure Mode are optional.

They are only available if the option “DISPLAY_STD” is installed.
Monochrome
Selects between Monochrome 1 and 2 (in all modes except DICOM Display Standard).
This switch influences the DICOM element „Photometric Interpretation“, thus the bit representation of
the pixel data (inverse). To decide what to pick check with the vendor of the receiving station.
Normally the majority of receiving stations can handle both in which case the setting does not matter.
If the image on the receiving station appears to be black/white inverted, select the other setting.
Bit Depth
Selects the bit depth of the output. Values are 15, 12, 10 or 8 bit. Experiences show that reduction
down to 10 bit are not visible under normal viewing circumstances. However, special cases (high
zooming on small details) might require a higher bit depth. Reduction to 8 bit should be used with care
because interpolation artifacts are visible.

6.3.2 MEASURE MODE
The Measure Mode should be the

preferred one whenever DDS is not
available.
Using this mode the export filter does
two operations:
1. Applying a calibration curve to

the output station (similar to the
HCU calibration).
2. Applying a perceptual linear
lookup curve.
In other words, it simulates a DDS link

to a receiver that is not DDS
compatible.

6.3.3 FILM LIKE

NOTE:
It is recommended to use the DICOM Display Standard or Measure Mode instead of FILM LIKE !!
If you cannot use one of the above modes,

you may also adjust the 9 sliders just by “try
and error”.
The Film Like Mode then applies this curve to
the output data without changing the
histogram width.
Figure 6-7, DICOM Export (Film_like)
6.3.3.1 Film Like Set-Up

1. Take a lung image on film that was reported to be “good”.
2. Now adjust the sliders so that the lungs on film and on screen look similar.
NOTE:
-> After every change you have to save and restart before re-transmitting the post image.
-> On the x-axis, dark values are on the left, light values are on the right.
-> On the y-axis, dark values are at the bottom, light values are on the top.
This means, for example, to darken light areas of an image (abdomen in a lung image), move
the upper right part of the curve more down.
-> Do not change the values of the first and last slider.
3. Set the bit depth and MONOCHROME switch (photometric interpretation) according to your needs.
According to the experience so far, “good” curves kind of look like a “banana”.
After aligning the curve for a lung image all other anatomical regions should produce satisfactory results as
well.

6.3.4 FULL RANGE
NOTE:
It is recommended to use the DICOM Display Standard or Measure Mode instead of this filter type.
The Full Range Mode is quite similar

to the Film-Like mode. The only
difference is that the actual
histogram range is always expanded
to the full possible data range.
Even though this seems to be a
remarkable benefit because the
contrast of each picture is enhanced
compared to “Film-Like”, the user
MUST be aware that this mode
expands each image differently.
This includes the following danger: The
same patient, examined twice with
different collimation (-> more direct
radiation in one image) expands
differently. For the viewer this results in
the same patient having completely
different contrast appearance. A
comparison study is much more
Figure 6-8, DICOM EXPORT (Full Range) complicated and may result in wrong or
inaccurate report!
6.3.4.1 Full Range Set-Up
1. Take a lung image on film that was reported to be “good”.
2. Now adjust the sliders so that the lung on film and on screen look similar.
3. Set the bit depth and MONOCHROME switch (photometric interpretation) according to your needs.
NOTE:
-> After every change you have to save and restart before re-transmitting the post image.
-> On the x-axis, dark values are on the left, light values are on the right.
-> On the y-axis, dark values are at the bottom, light values are on the top.
This means, for example, to darken light areas of an image (abdomen in a lung image), move
the upper right part of the curve more down.
-> Do not change the values of the first and last slider.
According to the experience so far, “good” curves kind of look like a “banana”.
After aligning the curve for a lung image all other anatomical regions should produce satisfactory results as
well.

8 TROUBLE SHOOTING
To assist in correcting problems that may occur between DigitalDiagnost and the Network some useful
references are given below. When a particular problem occurs the references are to be used in the order
given under each heading. This is to make sure that all interactions within the system are completed correctly
and therefore conflicts are eliminated.
In case of messages like: “Network Error” or “DICOM Error” or similar check all settings for Customization
Manager, DICOM Nodes, DICOM Export Filters .
If strange messages appear check also the contents of the “archive.log” and the “Append_archive.log”.
Logfiles are in .../DATA/LOG/... and /DATA/LOG/DICOM
A special logfile is created for BWLM (worklist management): BWLMscu.Log
The use of DPM (DICOM Protocol Monitor) in combination with a “Sniffer” can be helpful to analyze the image
transfer and referring messages on the network.
Also use the DICOM VERIFY ! Refer to Section 3.6 (DICOM VERIFY).

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
2.2.2 “GENERAL ITEMS” TAB:
Print Mode : Within this setting, two configurations are possible:
Æ AutoPrint
Æ EasyPrint
1. AutoPrint
AutoPrint means that the system prints the film according to the
selected examination and the defaults within the configuration. This
function starts when an image is ‘‘confirmed’’ like today’s
DigitalDiagnost.
If the configured layout and scale can be accomplished within
the film then no other interaction is necessary, and the print job
will start in the background.
The ‘‘print preview’’ button (Verification Tool) allows the user to view
the current waiting pages.
The printed pages are removed. Changes to a page cancel any further
automatism for this page.
If AutoPrint is active & Illegal Scale Behavior is set to ‘‘ask what to

do’’, the print is NOT initiated fully automatically but stops to ‘‘ask for
what to do’’ only if the print cannot be performed as configured.
2. EasyPrint
EasyPrint works in exactly the same way as Auto Print with the exception that the user is always provided with print
preview either by selecting ‘‘back to patient list’’ or ‘‘print by preview’’. If the user is satisfied with the preview, a click on
the ‘‘print’’ button will initiate film printing.
Illegal Scale Behavior

If the scale set in the configuration (life, large etc) cannot be applied to the configured layout/film size then the
configuration ‘‘Illegal Scale Behavior’’ is adopted.
General items
Fit To View Port the image is rescaled to fit to the View Port
Cut and centre the image is cut around the edges. No scale change.
Ask, what to do the scale of the image remains constant and the print preview will appear so the user
can make any necessary changes before printing.
Apply Same Scale only applies when configuration of ‘‘Illegal Scale Behavior’’ is set to fit to film and there
are multiple images on one film.
None Only the image that is too large for the viewport will be fitted
Fit all All Images will be fitted to their individual maximum scale
Fit to smallest All images will have the same scale.
Incomplete Page mode If the user activates ‘‘back to patient list’’ before all spaces on the page are filled, the
incomplete page mode will be adopted.
Ask, what to do The print preview will appear, so the user can make any necessary changes before
printing.
Print incomplete Sends the incomplete page for printing.
Change template Selects an appropriate template for the current number of images.
Draw Calipers Displays on the film (along all four sides) calipers of 1 cm intervals.
(calipers = ruler/scale indicators)

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Invert Panning Reverses the direction in which the panning tool is orientated.
AutoPrint active Switches on those examinations configured for automatic print.

Each examination can be switched on/off independently.
This toggle acts a master and therefore needs to be switched on to allow any auto-
printing.
Retries Number of retries of the print job in the event of an error printing.
Default Print Scale The default print scale configuration affects only the manual composition of films (not
through auto or easy print). It determines the scale at which images are first placed
on the film before any modification that can be performed by the user.
Three configurations are possible:
0 Fit image to the film

100 Place image life size on the film
other (ie 60, 70) Place image at this certain scale.

2.2.3 “PRINTERS” TAB:
The “Printer” tab enables the configuration and modification of the printers.
A screen printer is within the list of configured printers. This enables testing / training without the need to print
films. After activation of printing to the screen printer, the image will appear on part of the screen to show the
result. To activate this screen printer and make it visible for use within the user interface, follow the protection
(lock icon) instructions described in the template tab.
The set-up screen lets you enter all relevant DICOM & NETWORK values for each activated DICOM
printer to communicate with DiDi.
Procedure:
1. Click on “Add” to open the screen on the right.

(The first printer in the list is the default printer the system will use)
2. Select the printer to added and configured. Click on:
3. Name Model & Manufacturer is automatically filled in when a printer is selected
4. Description: can be filled if required.
5. Protocol ID: Always “DICOM”. Do not change.
6. Prototype: Inserted automatically. Do not change.
7. AET: Application Entity Title of the printer.
8. Hostname of the printer.
9. IP Address: of the printer.
10. Port number: of the printer.
11. Last Calibration: Shows the date of the last calibration. YELLOW if status is : “Not Calibrated”
12. Media: Remove or hide all unavailable film formats, types and resolutions.
Using a high resolution media can cause in a long time to get the image printed. To make sure you use the
standard resolution media remove the high resolution media and the 12 bit media as well. There is no need to
use the high resolution except for mammo images.
• In the media list press the right mouse button to open the menu.
• Select the print media to be removed or hidden.

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
2.2.4 „STRING GROUPS” TAB:
The “String Groups” tab enables the configuration of new and the modification of default string
groups that appear on the film.
All default string groups appear on the film in English (before an image is added).
Translation can be performed locally within this tab.
By selecting a string group and clicking “Edit”, one can modify the elements ( add, remove, move etc.) within
the string. One can “Add” new strings or duplicate, rename and modify old ones also (for protection
instructions see template tab).
Once a string group is saved, it appears in the list of all available string groups within the Add TextBox
functionality for the user and can be placed on a film.
2.2.5 „FONT SETS“ TAB
The “Font Sets” tab controls the size and type of each font set as it appears on each film size.
The font size for each sting group is selected in the “String Groups” tab (i.e. medium, small etc.). This can be
then independently configured for each film size within this table. The family (i.e. Times New Roman) and style
(i.e. plain, bold) can also be selected.
An example of how it will appear on the film is given. Changing a font size (e.g. medium font from 8 to 10)
within a selected film size changes all strings that use that font size (medium) within the film size.

2.2.6 “TEMPLATES” TAB
The “Templates” tab enables the construction of new and the editing of existing templates.
Systems are delivered with factory defaults that are protected from deletion and are not editable (without
unprotect).
The system also automatically protects any linked template from being deleted and renamed.
There are several states of templates:
Grey text with lock
Template cannot be edited, deleted and renamed. They are factory defaults and can only be viewed.
To allow editing the protection must be removed (see below).
Black text with lock
Template can be edited but not deleted or renamed. The lock is present due to a linkage within the
database. To rename or delete this template, the link to the examination must first be deleted.
Black text
Template can be edited, deleted and renamed. This is no link in the database.
Text with “Hidden” sign
This Template is not visible within the user interface. This is activated/deactivated by selecting the hide/unhide
button on a template that can be edited. Typically used for test templates.
Text with “-rot”
4512 983 11821 CSIP Level 0 (06.0) 7-9

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
Templates, which contain “-rot”, will automatically rotate all images that fit better in the opposite rotation (if they
do not fit in the configured manner).
The configuration of “Auto-rotation” can be found in the settings box via the “Edit” button.
2.2.6.1 Protect / Unprotect templates (from editing)
In order to change or delete a non-editable template them the following must be performed:
• Select the template by pressing “Ctrl”, “Alt” and “Shift”
• Simultaneously click on the “View” button. It changes to “Edit” .
If the lock icon remains, the template is linked to an examination. Renaming or deleting is not
possible.
• Select “Edit” and perform the necessary changes to the template.
• When finished, return the template to the protected state by again pressing “Ctrl”, “Alt” and
“Shift” , select “Edit”. This now changes back to “View” and the template is not editable
again.
This protection mechanism also applies to the Printer tab, String tab and Font Sets tab.
2.2.6.2 Restrict number of (visible) templates
With this switch activated, the number of visible templates that are presented to the user
(without the need for scrolling) can be entered.
2.2.6.3 Configuring new and editing existing templates
The same tool shown below is used by both methods.
When “Add” (new templates) or “Edit” (modify existing templates) is selected the following screen
appears:

2.2.6.6 Editing a Viewport’s Reference Number and Caliper Position
All view ports of a template have a unique reference number, which is shown in the view port’s preview.
This reference number defines the order that is used for the AutoPrint functionality.
All factory default templates have four calipers on (one on each side). Each caliper can be removed
independently of each other.
To change a reference number or position of calipers:
• Select the Viewport that has to be changed.
• Click the (Edit) button
A small dialog appears in which all available reference numbers are shown and active
calipers displayed.
Now the user can select the preferred number. The selected Viewport exchanges the
reference number with the Viewport that owned this number before. The user can
also activate / deactivate each caliper.
A click on the “Close” button closes the box.
2.2.6.7 Textboxes
Textboxes are automatically filled with text, which get their content from the database. Text
boxes can either belong to a page or a Viewport. They can be moved using the arrow buttons
(Small movements are achieved by holding down the Ctrl-key).
For positioning the textbox within a Viewport use the arrows from the toolbox:

3.5 CHECKLIST FOR DICOM PRINT

1. Is the correct CURVE loaded / selected in the DICOM printer: DICOM Curve (ÆPrinter)?
2. Is the DICOM printer selected correctly in the HCU configuration (ÆDICOM Print tool)?
3. Is the DICOM printer set-up (IP, AET etc..) made correctly in the HCU configuration (ÆDICOM Print tool) ?
4. Is the DICOM printer connected correctly via the network? Can you ping the printer IP?
5. Is the DICOM printer Calibration correctly performed (ÆDICOM Print tool) ?
6. Are all values within the ranges? (Æ Verification/Validation performed?)
7. Did you RESTART the system after set-up?
8. Is the FINAL BACKUP performed?
NOTE
Special situation:
Upgrading a 1.4.1 system which formerly uses a not calibrated DICOM Printer and where the post-
processing’s have been adapted to the IQ of a not calibrated DICOM Printer.
When upgraded and calibrated, the images might appear different to the images from 1.4.1.
The post processing’s need to be re-adjusted!
There is another possible solution (but it is not recommended):
Use the printer with the default curve (no printer calibration!).
3.6 UPGRADING FROM 1.4.X (RESTORE HANDLING)
If an existing system is upgraded to 1.5.x keep in mind the following information:
1.4.0 Æ 1.4.1 Never restore “APC”

1.4.1 Æ 1.4.2 Æ 1.4.3 APC can be restored
1.4.0 Æ 1.5.x Never restore APC
1.4.2/3 Æ 1.5.x APC can be restored
If APC (1.4.0) was restored erroneously, the Print editor / Calibration Tool crashes.
The application needs to be re-installed to cure the problem.

4 DICOM PRINT NOTES
4.1 TIC TOOL NOTES

The TIC tool could be used to check the final image quality, to calibrate the DICOM Export Filter.
Details can be found in the TIC Tool UNIT Manual and the DICOM UNIT Manual.
The main and most important image to check the print IQ is the “circle wedge” image:
On the film this image should not show any

steps/borders from inner to outer areas. The
behavior must be strictly homogeneous.
If steps can be seen, the “clipping effect” is

identified. If this happens the clinical image would
loose grey areas and may hide structures, which
are present in the real image.
NOTE
The test images are always sent as linear (non physiologic) images. They are not adapted to the human eye.
The images may look darker than those from other modalities and also darker than our own patient images.
The appearance of the DIDI TIC Tool test images (1.4.2/3) is not comparable with the PCR NUEVO test
images.
BUT:
The clipping effect can be identified easily.
Clipping = non-homogeneous grey characteristic (visible steps).

1 INTRODUCTION
Since Diagnost Release 1.4 an optional Compano CR Reader is supported.

Since Release 1.5 the PCR Eleva S+ Reader is supported (optional).
In addition to the workflow using the digital detector it is now possible to integrate images from the directly
connected PCR Reader into the image pool.
The patient list can show images from the DiDi detector AND the PCR plates. The plates are mapped to the
patient, which is currently active for an examination via FREE CASSETTE.
2 GENERAL REMARKS
For more details concerning the functionality please refer to the users manuals. This document will describe
the installation/set-up and calibration of the PCR Reader.
A reliable functionality can only be expected when the workflow described in the user manual is followed
strictly.
3 CURRENT READER SOFTWARE
3.1 ELEVA S+ SOFTWARE
With DiDi Release 1.5 the integrated reader software is 1.3. During the set-up process this software is
installed on the Reader. Several file structures are established on the DIDI system, based on the IP address
of the Reader.
3.2 COMPANO-READER SOFTWARE
With DiDi Release 1.4 / 1.4.1 the integrated PCR SW is A09.

With DIDI Release 1.4.2 the integrated PCR SW is A10.
Never try to install any FUJI CDROM to DiDi/Compano—it will not work.
If a new SW for the Compano Reader is required from the DIDI side, a separate DIDI Installation CDROM is
delivered. The standard way is a new DIDI Application SW package, which installs the required Compano SW
image on the DIDI hard disk.

5 CONNECTING THE ELEVA S+ READER TO THE DIGITALDIAGNOST
5.1 ELEVA S+ READER

The Eleva S+ PCR Reader is the successor of the Compano Reader. The Compano Reader is still supported.
New DIDI deliveries with integrated CR (option) will be equipped with the Eleva S+ Reader.
5.1.1 Installation
The mechanical & electrical installation has to be performed according to the SMI and the Release Bulletin of
the S+ reader.
Any further maintenance or service actions are to be performed via the service PC using the delivered FUJI
cdrom. This (communication-) software needs to be installed on the service laptop.
For more details also refer to the PCR ELEVA S+ Release Bulletin.
5.1.2 Set up IP addresses
1. Set up S+ Readers network data at the readers touch panel:
¾ Local IP (This is the S+ Reader IP)

¾ Netmask
¾ FTP Server IP (This is the DIDI IP)
2. Enter the local S+ IP into the DIDI system via the Customization Manager.
Restart the S+ Reader and the DIDI workstation.
5.1.3 Install the S+ software from the DigitalDiagnost hard disk.
This procedure is required to install relevant files on the DIDI and on the S+ system.
• Enter the DiDi Service Tool:
System Æ Logout Æ Login: service & password
• Service Tool:
Enter a command tool
• Start a telnet session to the S+ Reader IP address:
type in:
telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <return> (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx = IP address of the S+ Reader)
• At the telnet promt type in:
Æ changeUpdateTime(3600) ....................................................... <return>

Æ install(“Install.lst”) ......................................................... <return>
Type in both apostrophe and brackets in the way shown: (“Install.lst”)
This will start the upload of the S+ Readers software including configuration.
The procedure will take about 15-30 minutes dependent on the type of workstation.
• The telnet session quits automatically when the procedure is finished.

• Make sure to restart the reader (power ON/OFF)

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
5.1.4 S+ Reader calibration
The S+ Reader calibration has to be performed according to the PCR Eleva S+ Release Bulletinn
There is no service software integrated into the DIDI system except for the required AQDS sets in the DIDI
Acceptance Tool. The Reader is usually pre-adjusted. No initial calibration is required.
According to local rules it might be required to perform acceptance tests.
These calibration procedures are to be performed by using the Service PC and the delivered FUJI service
tools (RU PC tool).
Refer to section 7.3 “Local service via Service PC” and “Compano / S+ Reader Calibration” (part of this
manual)
6 CONNECTING THE COMPANO READER TO DIGITALDIAGNOST

The Compano Reader is connected to the DigitalDiagnost workstation via a standard (Ethernet) network
connection, usually via the hospital network. If directly connected (for service) please use a cross-network
cable to do so.
Due to the fact that no separate PC is delivered with the Compano (if used with DiDi) , the service
communication is made via the Service Tool of the DigitalDiagnost workstation. A TELNET link is made and
the MUTL is started to communicate with the Compano.
Make sure the license for “PCR Reader Integration” is available and activated in the CM Manager.
6.1 SET-UP THE IP ADDRESSES
The Compano Reader is delivered with a default IP address 172.16.1.10

For the general communication set-up it is required to connect in the first step via this IP address to be able to
start the MUTL tool.
NOTE
In most cases it is a problem to connect to a hospital network by using “default” IPs. In addition it is expected
to have no connection due to non-matching net masks.
Therefore it is recommended to use a local network connection via a network-cross-cable to set-up the
basics.
Æ Set up DigitalDiagnost to have an initial connection :
• Enter the CM Manager

• Select the PCR frame
• Enter the default IP Address (172.16.1.10) of the Compano Reader
• Re-start the DigitalDiagnost workstation

• Close the DiDi TELNET session (QuitÆButton: Disconnect )

• Switch ON/OFF the COMPANO
• Enter the CM manager of DiDi and type in the final IP address of the COMPANO
• Exit the CM manager ( Save & EXIT )
It should be possible now to enter the MUTL tool via the DigitalDiagnost Service Tool by using the new
settings.
6.2 UPGRADE THE COMPANO READER SOFTWARE VIA DIGITALDIAGNOST
STEP 1:
If a new COMPANO software needs to be installed it needs to be transferred to DiDi first !!
An installation from CDROM directly is not possible.
STEP 2:
The second step installs the software from that directory into the COMPANO.

3 SOLVED PROBLEMS
• DICOM Print IQ increased

A new calibration procedure increases the image quality. 16 fields are to be measured instead of
former 9 fields. + Validation & Verification. Like in 1.4.2/1.4.3.
• Verification Tool (resolution can be adjusted)
The resolution / IQ of the Verification Image is adjustable.

Increase of resolution --> delayed display.
Service Tools Æ Configuration Æ Unstructured Æ User Interface (UI) Æ
VeriImageSusampleFactor: 4 (default) / 2 (increased IQ Æ delayed display)
• DICOM Print performance (speed)

The printing performance was improved to about 1-2 minutes from “commit” Æ “printed film”. This
can only be reached under the following (ideal) pre-conditions:
- Ideal network (100 Mbit/sec).
- No heavy network load.
- No printing jobs from other modalities in the printer queue.
- Printer is active. No warm-up required.
- Normal image resolution. No high-resolution. Like in 1.4.2/1.4.3.
• Clean patient list & hidden queues
The change of the system language does not clean patient list & queues anymore.
Instead:
Change the “Device Serial Number” (temporary)
Re-Start
Change it back to original
Re-Start
• PCR Integration (several problems)
- No “burned” image plates

- No linking problem. The image in the Reader will be linked to the active patient & AQDS
- No BARCODE handling by DIDI PCR integration.
- No blocked CR plates
- A10 Reader SW is part of 1.5 (can be uploaded to the Compano Reader via DIDI)
• VeriTool crash
Finally solved.
• TIC Tool
Can now send images to PACS (via DICOM) without DICOM Print license.
SMPTE image available!
• BWLM Background Query crashes Image Processor

Solved.
• Strange Characters in Wall stand display

This problem is finally solved now. Since 1.4.3.
• Bad calibration (IQ) with communication error to detector (first image)

Solved.
7-4 CSIP Level 0 (06.1) 4512-983-11801

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
• Examination performed under wrong Accession number

Solved.
• Inaccurate image ranging

Ranger re-designed to improve the quality.
• VIEW button with large patient list leads to hang-up

No restrictions when using VIEW within a large patient list.
• Small objects not handled correctly when sent to PACS (smaller/not centered)
Workflow improved.
• EI indication not printed on film with “auto print”

Solved.
• Send to PCR does not work when BWLM active

Solved.
• Bad Verification Image (spec. small objects)

IQ improved.
• Table-Detector collision during downwards movement (TH-S)

With new delivered systems the TH-S table is CAN controlled. Collisions are prevented at any time.
• Amplimat fields behavior

If the collimation is below the “collimation threshold” (X-Scope) the outer chambers will be
switched off and the inner chamber gets activated.
• Day Light Saving Time schedules change in 2007 +

US: Second Sunday in March and end the first Sunday in November. This is corrected in this
release.
• New Printer definition files

Released printer definition files are generally part of the released DIDI application software.
Printer prototype files cannot be updated separately by a prepared process. They need to be
inserted manually by using a command tool.
DICOM Printer Prototype Directory:
/export/home/SABRE/SYSTEM/APC/PROTOTYPES
Officially tested & released printer prototype files (.xml) can be copied manually to this directory.
This directory is part of the backup process.
4512-983-11801 CSIP Level 0 (06.1) 7-5

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4 KNOWN RESTRICTIONS
• Backups from former releases cannot be restored (directly) to 1.5

The databases in Release 1.3.x/1.4.3 had an unknown bug, which corrupted some
DB pointers. This was no problem within 1.3.x/1.4.x . But is for 1.5. When restoring
to 1.5, the current 1.5 database may crash.
Workarround:
We need to receive the old (1.4.x) Backup from the upgrade site to check & repair it
in a way that it can be restored to 1.5. Some files might not be recovered. A report
of un-recovered database entries will be generated.
• Printer calibration has no film-format relation

If performed, it is valid for ALL valid film-formats.
• Scale / Grey Level Calibration:
When clicking on “Scale/Grey level” a second time after it has been active already, the user
interface could be mixed up. The help text toggles between “Grey level and Scale”.
• Cassette gets stuck in the PCR Reader
This rarely can happen still within 1.5.
• No “offline” configuration for Anatomical Database
• Tracking ON/OFF lets the tube move the other direction

When switching OFF tracking and measure manually - then switch ON Tracking again may let the
tube move the wrong way.
• Stitching Examination/Acquisitions lost.

When temporary deleting the Auto-Stitching license, the related Examinations/Acquisitions are
deleted. They can be restored via the backup.
• Move to position with motorized VM

MTP only works sufficient when the CS once is driven into a detent & the alpha drive has once
reached a 0° or 90° position.
• Send to PCR
Does not work with PCR ELEVA systems.
• TYPE 7 Keyboard & Blade 2500 SILVER is not compatible with Barcode Reader Option
When the Barcode Reader Option is installed the TYPE 7 USB keyboard is not fully compatible:
Workaround: System boot while Barcode Reader is disconnected. The Barcode Reader could be
connected/disconnected directly at the TYPE 7 keyboard. (Identify Type7 keyboards: They have a
separate USB port).
• TYPE 7 Keyboard
USB stick cannot be used at the keyboards USB ports. If done so, remove the USB stick and re-
start the system. Only use the USB ports at the backplane.
• PCR MUTL tool must not be minimized

When minimizing the PCR MUTL tool it stays alive behind other windows an cannot be re-activated.
This requires a system re-start.
• No remote access to Anatomical Database
7-6 CSIP Level 0 (06.1) 4512-983-11801

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
• No remote access to printer configuration/calibration
• No remote access to Backup & Restore
• DICOM Print (Calibration)
The magnification function (shift-“Print”) does not work. The Calibration & Verification image can
only be printed in small size. This is sufficient for the calibration/verification.
• Auto Stitching
Ruler may cause memory/ghost structures when a number of images are taken.
To avoid this, it is required to wait a little longer to proceed with the next exposures.
• Finish language
De-installation of the finish language can be incomplete. A re-installation of the application package
OR the restore the database will cure it.

4512-983-11801 CSIP Level 0 (06.1) 7-13

ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
5.3 DETECTOR CALIBRATION

Perform the Detector calibration as usual.
5.4 DICOM PRINT CALIBRATION

Make sure to re-calibrate the existing DICOM printer. Refer to the “UNIT manual DICOM Print.”
Release 1.5 uses the same DICOM print tool.
6 NICE TO KNOW
Emergency shutdown & re-start
Instead of using Stop & A it could be helpful to use:
STRG & ALT & DEL

Or
Ctrl & ALT & DEL
This key combination shuts-down & re-starts the system at any time.
Should be used ONLY in case of a hang-ups.
Stop + a is blocked during normal operation. Only while the system is booting (shortly after switch ON)
it can be used.
Master Recovery Point / Recovery Points
1. Recovery Points (RP)
Every time a Backup is re-stored a “Recovery Point” is created by the system automatically. It reverts to
it when the re-store could not be completed successfully. The system can create up to 5 Recovery
Points. When the fifth RP is reached, the user is forced to set a Master Recovery Point.
2. Master Recovery Point (MRP):
From the Backup/Restore menu it is possible to set a Master Recovery Point manually.
Only ONE MRP is possible when ever necessary the user can revert to that MRP.
Emergency menu (Software crash).
When the system software may not start-up or crashes, it re-boots automatically up to five times.
If this is not successful a menu is shown to give you three choices to proceed:
1. Login as service:
This opens the remote service menu and gives some additional changes to solve the problem or to save
several log-files.
2. Revert to the last “Master Recovery Point”

This re-starts the system at the configuration state of the last valid Master Recovery Point
3. Shutdown & Switch Off

This is usually the customer’s action at that status of the system. In this case the local service needs to
be called.
Clear Calibration
Requires a second re-start of the system software.
