This system provides chest, abdomen, bone, spine, head and other plain X-ray imaging,
as well as spinal canal, bronchial tube, urinary organ, and other contrast medium X-ray
imaging and X-ray tomography.
1 Due to the effects of digital image processing, the system produces radiographs that
are easy to observe and have a high diagnostic value.
2 The system has a wide latitude for incident X-rays so that a large amount of X-ray di-
agnostic information is obtained.
3 The system has high sensitivity, resulting in a decrease in the X-ray radiation dose to
the patients.
4 As the system has a wide latitude and an automatic sensitivity adjustment function, its
radiographs are not affected by small changes in X-ray exposure conditions. Therefore,
consistent image density is obtained for all radiographs.

2
information for image interpretation work.
2. Before inserting a cassette into this equipment, verify patient identification without
fail by means of the patient’s full name, birthdate and the like.
3. Before inserting a cassette into this equipment, be sure to read the exposure
3
menu.
4. Before inserting a cassette into this equipment, make sure that this equipment is in
image-reading mode. This is because cassette erasure will take place if this equip-
4
ment is in erase mode.
5. When you install this equipment close to a wall, use caution not to block its air outlet
openings.
A
If the temperature inside this equipment rises abnormally high, the image on the IP
may be imperfectly erased, possibly causing an output image that does not allow
accurate image interpretation.
B
6. Clean the air outlet openings periodically to keep them clear of dust or the like which
can cause blocking. If they are blocked, the temperature inside this equipment rises
abnormally high and the image on the IP may be imperfectly erased, possibly caus-
ing an output image that does not allow accurate image interpretation.
Z
7. Do not place an unspecified IP into the cassette, otherwise an image that may affect
image reading can be output.
8. Replace the erasure lamp when the message prompting for replacement is dis-
played.
For the replacement of the lamp, please contact your local authorized distributor.
When the lamp fails, image erasure becomes impossible.
9. Do not remove a cassette already subjected to exposure before image reading. It is
possible that a read image is lost.
10. For precautions to observe when reading images from an IP, make sure to see
[Appendix Z Precautions for Exposure] so that IPs are handled correctly.
11. Stand in front of the equipment to operate it.

Insert the cassette (IP) that has been registered at the CR Console into the setting unit.
1 Confirm that the Cassette Ready Lamp lights (green).
2 With the cassette’s barcode window facing up and in front, insert the cassette straight
along the guide on the right of the cassette setting unit.
3 When the cassette is inserted, the Cassette Ready Lamp turns OFF and the Cassette
Processing Lamp turns ON. Moreover, the processing status bar display starts changing.
(For the processing status bar display, refer to “5 Processing Status Bar” on page
1-17.)
1 Be sure to insert the cassette straight along the guide on the right of the cassette setting unit, as
illustrated.
A cassette that was set upside-down, in the wrong direction or at a slant will not only result in
abnormalities but may also damage the machine.
2 Make sure to remove all exposure markers used at the time of exposure before inserting the
cassette.

Insert an appropriate cassette in the cassette setting unit. The IP inside the cassette
will be subjected to primary erasure processing.
As the IP returned to the cassette has undergone primary erasure, it can be used
as is for exposure.
When PRIMARY ERASURE has been specified, at the stage when the cassette is inserted, the
settings for that IP will be considered completed, and the setting (display) will return to the default
(Reading). Thus, the setting is valid one time only.

be used as is for exposure.
When SECONDARY ERASURE has been specified, at the stage the cassette is inserted , the set-
ting for that IP will be considered completed, and the setting (display) will be returned to the default
(reading). Thus, the setting is valid one time only.

1 IP Erasure Processing
1.1 Secondary Erasure
Even when stored in a room, an IP is very sensitive and absorbs and accumulates natu-
ral radioactivity such as cosmic rays or radiation energy emanating from radioisotopes
contained in construction materials such as those used for floors and walls. Perform
secondary erasure for IPs which have not been used that day.
For the detailed operation procedure, refer to Chapter 2, section 2.4, Conducting
Exposure Using a Cassette (IP) Left Unused for 8 Hours or More [SECONDARY
ERASURE].
For the detailed operation procedure, refer to Chapter 2, section 2.3, Conducting Image
Erasure Only [PRIMARY ERASURE].

(2) Method
For cleaning of a dual-side reading IP, always use the sponge sheet supplied with the IP.
4
IP
A
Sponge sheet
2 For stains which fail to come off by cleaning with dry cleaning cloths, dampen the
above cloth with ethanol anhydride (ethanol purity ≥ 99.5%) before cleaning.
(Do not use another cleaning agent.)
When the IP surface has been cleaned using ethanol anhydride-dampened cloths,
slightly wipe it off with dry cloths listed above. Make sure the surface of the IP is
completely dry before use.
Frequent cleaning with ethanol anhydride can cause yellowing of the IP edges.
(3) Precautions
1 Be sure not to damage the IP.
2 Never use eraser or any other solvents.
3 Do not scratch the IP with your nails.
4 Replace the sponge sheet used for cleaning back to the cover for storage.
5 Never moisten the IP with water to wipe off stains.

It is recommended to use Bucky’s device to remove scatter lines and obtain a high quality im-
age. When carrying out exposure using a stationary grid, it is recommended to use a 60 grids/

5 Notes on PRIEF
[PRIEF 4S] Used, with some exceptions, for both plain and contrast medium exposure
menus, from head to lower extremities.
(1) The diaphragm shape will be any convex polygons including rectangle, circle,
ellipse, track, etc.
[PRIEF 1] Used to tomography menus for chest, abdomen, pelvis, upper and lower
extremities.
(1) When the IP is not split and the diaphragm is closed, adjust the shape so that it
is parallel to the IP side.
(2) When conducting multiple exposures with a split IP using the PRIEF 1 menu,
1) do not close the diaphragm.
2) expose all the split portions of the IP.
[PRIEF 1S] Used to neck tomography and stomach contrast medium menus.
(1) When the IP is not split and the diaphragm is closed, adjust the shape so that it
is parallel to the IP side.
Use the “Head” menu to include the whole head in the radiation field.
2 For exposure of the pharynx or larynx, be sure that the neck comes to the center of the radiation
field so that the frontal and lateral orientations can be recognized appropriately.

2 If the target includes such materials as gypsum, denture, etc., stable density may
not be obtained because such materials make it difficult to analyze EDR image data.
In such a case, use the S-Shift/C-Shift or FIX MODE.
3 For multiple exposures with a split IP, make exposure doses on each portion of the
IP as equal as possible (maximum 1.6 times). In other words, for multiple exposures,
submit each portion of the IP to the appropriate exposure dose according to the
intended anatomical region as usual.
