DIS DeLuxe Flat Panel Detector Interfacing

2.1.1 Procedure of Calibration

Warm up: the detector should be let ON for at least two hours before performing the calibration.

1. The collimator must be fully open (so that the whole panel is covered by the x-ray beam), the
irradiated field should be uniform and without objects interposed that function as filter; the
focus-detector distance should be 110 cm.

2. Open the program VIVA .


3. Choose from the menu Acquisition Mode the XR window of 550 ms (RCT MSR8).

Offset Calibration and Gain Calibration


The Offset calibration should not be performed during the x-ray exposure.
There are two types of offset calibration; one is used for the preview and the other one for calibrating the final
image.
Steps:

1. Check in the Acquisition→System Settings


menu that the item Offset Corrections is selected,
while the items Gain Corrections and Pixel Defect
Map are deselected. Check that the item Hardware
Handshaking (under the menu Acquisition) is selected.

2. Set the following x-ray values: 70 kV, 1,6


mAs, small focus. Such values are indicative and they
can be modified in order to get the proper grey levels
defined at point 5.

3. Click on Offset Calib. or select Offset Calibration from the menu bar under Acquisition.

[File: 220233-00-01-A.docx] Page 11/162


Flat Panel Detector Interfacing DIS DeLuxe

4. The following window will be displayed (completed Dark Frames and Acquisition).

5. Once the offset calibration process is finished, select from menu Acquisition→Acquire image: it
allows to perform x-rays. The acquired image can be used for the calibration if the grey values of its
pixels have a value of about 3000 (± 500) ADU (Analog to Digital Unit). On the contrary, the x-ray
data set at point 2 should be corrected until an image with the required features is obtained. It is not
necessary that the obtained image is uniform, it is enough that the grey values of its pixels are
included in the indicated range.
6. Once the image has been obtained, from the menu Acquisition→Gain Calibration: follow the
instructions and once the OK is received, perform at least 8 consecutive exposures (wait that the key
Finish cannot be clicked before proceeding with the following exposure). At the end of the
acquisitions, click Finish.
7. Return on menu Acquisition→System Settings and enable Gain Corrections and Pixel Defect
Map. Acquire an image and check the uniformity and the average value of the pixels, that should be
included in the range 3000 (± 500). Save the image on desktop. If the image does not result uniform,
the calibration must be repeated (return to passage 6 and in case increase the acquisitions number).
8. Repeat the procedure by selecting from the menu Acquisition Mode the X-ray window of 1s (RCT
MSR8).

Flat Panel Detector Interfacing DIS DeLuxe

Once the Offset calibration is finished, click on the key Acquisition → System Settings and tick the item
Offset Corrections under Image Corrections.

Click OK and proceed with the Gain Calibration.

In order to compensate the non-uniformities of the Receptor, a reference image of the gain (flat field) is used
in the corrections module to rectify the images. The image of flat field or Gain Calibration must be captured
by Varian Smart Panel (VSP) before acquiring the images. Whenever a gain calibration process is performed,
an offset calibration is previously applied even if it had been performed before. In this way the receptor will
be adjusted properly.
In order to ensure a correct heating, the FPD PaxScan 4336Wv4 should be ON at least 30 minutes before
performing the gain calibration.
For a good calibration it is recommended to acquire images with a median of about 13000 – 14000 ADU
(Analog to Digital Unit).
The calibration frames number used for the gain and offset calibration can be adjusted through the proper
scrolling menu. More frames are used, better will be the calibration. It is recommended to collect 32 frames
for the gain calibration and 8 frames for the offset calibration in order to get an optimal images quality.
Before proceeding with the Gain calibration, check through a test acquisition that the median is included in
the range 13000 – 14000 ADU.

Step:
1. Set the focal distance at 135 cm, open fully the collimator, center the detector in respect of the x-ray
beam by ensuring that no object is interposed between the x-ray output and the detector. Insert the filters
of 1 mm AL + 0,2 mm Cu present under the collimator.
2. Check that the acquisition mode is correct.
3. Ensure that the item Hardware Handshaking is selected.
4. Select “Acquire Image” to start the images acquisition or, in alternative, the menu Acquisition →
Acquire Image (F5).

Page 28/162 [File: 220233-00-01-A.docx]


DIS DeLuxe Flat Panel Detector Interfacing

5. Set the following x-ray values: 70 kV, 2 mAs, small focus. In the acquisition window click on Start
Acquisition and perform the exposure. In case there is no tick on the item Hardware Handshaking,
select it in order to perform the x-ray exposure.

A progress bar will appear and when the 100% is reached, it will be possible to display the acquired image.
From that check by scrolling the mouse on the image that the median is in the range 13000 – 14000. Such
value can be displayed down on the left.

In case the value is not included in the range, don’t change the kV but modify the mAs to reach the necessary
ADU level for the calibration.
6. Then click Acquisition → Gain Calibration to start the gain calibration.

[File: 220233-00-01-A.docx] Page 29/162


Flat Panel Detector Interfacing DIS DeLuxe

The number of exposures to be acquired can be


selected on the Settings box. Once the offset
calibration is finished, the following screen shot will
appear and it will be possible to start the Gain
calibration by setting the x-ray values previously
identified.

Once all exposures had been performed, click Finish


to finish the procedure. Click on Acquisition → System Settings and tick the items Offset Corrections,
Gain Corrections e Pixel Defect Map under Image Corrections.

The Gain calibration must be performed at regular steps, typically once every six months, when the
central beam of the x-ray source has been moved in respect of the receptor or in case of replacement
of the x-ray tube.

Varian advises to collect 32 frames (minimum 8) for the gain calibration for an optimal images
quality. However, the real frames number necessary for the calibration depends exclusively on the
system and the performance requirements.

Click Change directory to select the folder Config and repeat the steps described above.

For selecting the configuration file .ini it is necessary to select before the directory containing the list
of the folders concerning different FPDs (Config) and in a second time the folder containing the configuration
file .ini (Config_3543EZe).

Once the configuration folder had been selected, the initialization phase will start.

Once the initialization phase has finished, click the key Close present next to the progress bar.

The connection with the detector should be established, check that the string next to the key Scan
indicates the Serial Number of the detector. On the contrary, click the key Scan; it will allow to analyze the
detectors declared in the file Detector3543EZe.ini and check that the connexion key is active.

In the box Application mode MODE1 and MODE2 (Autotrigger) will be present. Select first a mode and
proceed with the calibration. Once it is finished, select
the other mode and repeat the calibration.

The references concerning the dark and gain calibration cannot be shared between the rad mode and the
rad.autotrigger mode even if the same detector is used. Therefore, the calibration of the dark and the gain for
the two operation modes must be performed separately.
In the square brackets near every MODE# the writing [unloaded] or [partially loaded] or [fully loaded] will be
present in case the reference files have not been loaded, only partially or completely.
Select the box Preview to display the image preview both in the miniature and in the main screen
shot.

Set the focal distance at 135 cm, open completely the collimator, center the detector in respect of the x-ray
beam by ensuring that no object is interposed between the x-ray output and the detector. Insert 1 mm Al + 0,2
mm Cu filter present under the collimator.
Perform an exposure for each of the 4 dose levels proposed in the table below. Start from the kV and mAs
values indicated. In case the dose value obtained is not included in the tolerance range, modify a little bit the
mAs value (by keeping the kV constant) till it returns in the indicated range.

Dark Calibration
The Dark calibration allows to acquire the offset reference for the preview image correction and the full
correction of the x-ray images.

Click on the icon Dark to proceed with the Offset calibration. The calibration will be performed
automatically by the software. A
progress bar will be displayed, once
100% is reached, the message the
action finished successfully will
appear. For finishing the procedure, click the key Close.
The reference file is created during the Offset calibration process and it is saved automatically in the folder
References (C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references).
Gain Calibration
Thales recommends to perform the Gain calibration:
 After the installation
 After important modifications to the system settings and hardware configuration
 At least yearly
For a correct calibration, at least a Gain Reference and a Defect Map are necessary.
These two reference files are created during the x-ray calibration process and saved in the folder References
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references).
The Gain considers both the reply of detector and the uniformity of the x-ray flow. Therefore, for a given
mode, it could be necessary to have different Gain references to cover various configurations (different SID,
presence or not of the grid, different orientations of the x-ray source...).
Concerning the Defect Map, only a file is required since it depends on the detector performances.
Before starting the calibration, check that the parameter level.sensitivity in the File Detector35643EZe.ini
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\config\config_3543EZe) is preset according to the Pixium EZ
sensibility currently used.
Pay attention that no object is present in the x-ray beam between the source and the Pixium EZ (no
object, well opened collimator...).
The Pixium EZ should remain stable during the calibration.

Procedure:
The value concerning the parameter calibration.prepare.delay in the section [configuration.events] in the
file PIXRAD.ini (C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\config\config_3543EZe) has been set at 10
seconds so that the equipment has the necessary time to perform exposure sequentially (status passage from
busy to ready).
Click the key XRay . Once the calibration is started, the following progress bar will appear:

Whenever a new dose is required, the following message will appear:

Modify the mAs (according to the values found during the doses check) to get the required dose and click
Resume.
If it is not clicked in time, the following message will appear:

[File: 220233-00-01-A.docx] Page 63/162


Flat Panel Detector Interfacing DIS DeLuxe

The bar under the progress one before the x-ray exposure request will become orange as in the figure:

After 10 seconds (as set in the file Pixrad.ini) it will be necessary to perform the exposure, start to
perform preparation at 7 seconds and perform the exposure at 10 seconds when the bar under the
progress one will become red.

It is important to be synchronized with the software timing in case of x-ray exposure during the
calibration phase. Otherwise, an error message to indicate that the received dose is too low/high depending on

Dark Calibration
The Dark calibration allows to acquire the offset reference for the preview image correction and the full
correction of the x-ray images.
Click on the icon Dark to proceed with the Offset calibration. The calibration will be performed
automatically by the software. A progress bar will be displayed, once 100% is reached, the message The
action finished successfully will appear. For ending the procedure, click the key Close.

The reference file is created during the Offset calibration process and saved automatically in the folder
References (C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references).

Gain Calibration
Thales recommends to perform the Gain calibration:
 After the installation
 After important modifications to the system settings and hardware configuration
 At least yearly
For a correct calibration, it is necessary at least a Gain Reference and a Defect Map.
These two reference files are created during the x-ray calibration process and saved in the folder References
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references).
The Gain takes into consideration the detector replies and the uniformity of the x-ray flow. Therefore, for a
given mode, it could be necessary to have different Gain references to cover various configurations (different
SID, presence or not of the grid, different orientations of the x-ray source...).
Concerning the Defect Map, only a file is required since it depends only on the detector performance.
Before starting the calibration, check that the parameter level.sensitivity in the File Detector35643EZe.ini
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\config\config_3543EZe) is preset according to the sensibility
of the Pixium EZ currently used.
Pay attention that no object is present in the x-ray beam between the source and the Pixium EZ (no object,
well-opened collimator ...).
The Pixium EZ must remain stable during the calibration.

Procedure:

Click the key XRay


Once the calibration is started, the following progress bar will appear:

Whenever a new dose is required, the following message will appear:

Modify the mAs (according to the values found in the doses check procedure) to get the required dose and
click Resume.
If it is not clicked in time, the following message will appear:

The bar under the progress bar before the x-ray exposure request will become orange as in figure:

For this mode it is not necessary to wait 10 seconds for performing an exposure, but once the bar is orange
and the equipment status will be Ready the exposure can be performed. In this mode the software will be
synchronized with the x-ray exposure and the red bar will be displayed when the operator performs the
exposure.

The calibration procedure will finish once the percentage indicated near the progress bar reaches 100%.

Once the calibration is finished, the references files (they will be saved in the path C:\Program

Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references) must be loaded. Click the icon Load to load the reference
files (Gain and Defect Map) in RAM memory.

As soon as all reference files for an


application mode will have been loaded, in the
section Application Mode [fully loaded] will be indicated near MODE2 and if the Corrections box
has been ticked the acquired image will be automatically corrected.

Gain Calibration
Thales recommends to perform the Gain calibration:
 After the installation
 After important modifications to the system settings and hardware configuration
 At least yearly
For a correct calibration, at least a Gain Reference and a Defect Map are necessary.
These two reference files are created during the x-ray calibration process and saved in the folder References
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\references).
The Gain considers both the reply of detector and the uniformity of the x-ray flow. Therefore, for a given
mode, it could be necessary to have different Gain references to cover various configurations (different SID,
presence or not of the grid, different orientations of the x-ray source...).
Concerning the Defect Map, only a file is required since it depends on the detector performances.
Before starting the calibration, check that the parameter level.sensitivity in the File Detector35643EZe.ini
(C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\config\config_3543EZe) is preset according to the Pixium EZ
sensibility currently used.
Pay attention that no object is present in the x-ray beam between the source and the Pixium EZ (no
object, well opened collimator...).
The Pixium EZ should remain stable during the calibration.

Procedure:
The value concerning the parameter calibration.prepare.delay in the section [configuration.events] in the
file PIXRAD.ini (C:\Program Files\PixRad Software 7.*\bin\config\config_3543EZe) has been set at 10
seconds so that the equipment has the necessary time to perform exposure sequentially (status passage from
busy to ready).
Click the key XRay . Once the calibration is started, the following progress bar will appear:

Whenever a new dose is required, the following message will appear:

Modify the mAs (according to the values found during the doses check) to get the required dose and click
Resume.
If it is not clicked in time, the following message will appear:

The bar under the progress one before the x-ray exposure request will become orange as in the figure:

After 10 seconds (as set in the file Pixrad.ini) it will be necessary to perform the exposure, start to
perform preparation at 7 seconds and perform the exposure at 10 seconds when the bar under the
progress one will become red.
