Introduction

1.1 Features of the FCR PROFECT ONE Plus (CR-IR 368)

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.

Major features of this system are as follows.

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.

5 It is possible to input exposure information, such as patient information, regions targeted


for exposures, exposure menus, and other, from the CR Console connected to this
equipment.

6 The automatic feed/load mechanism results in more efficient operation.

1.2.8 Usage Precautions

1. After checking information attached to radiographic images for correctness, use such

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.

3 Primary erasure processing has been specified for the cassette to be inserted.
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.

Operations

2.4 Conducting Exposure Using a Cassette (IP) Left Unused for 8


Hours or More [SECONDARY ERASURE]
When conducting exposure with an IP that has not been used for 8 hours or more, the
cassette (IP) should first be subjected to secondary erasure processing because natural
radioactive rays will have accumulated on the IP, making it necessary to eliminate the excess
energy. Operation method follows.

1 Select Processing Mode Switchover to display the “Processing Mode Selection


screen.”

2 Select Secondary Erasure. (The “Secondary Erasure” window opens.)

3 SECONDARY ERASURE processing has been selected for the cassette to be inserted.
Insert an appropriate cassette in the cassette setting unit. The IP inside the cassette will
be subjected to SECONDARY ERASURE processing.
As the IP returned to the cassette will have undergone secondary erasure, it can
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.

IP Handling

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].

1.2 Primary Erasure


The following IPs must always be submitted to primary erasure prior to use for expo-
sure.
(1) Over-exposed IP
(2) Incorrectly exposed IP
(3) IP that is to be used for high-sensitivity exposure

For the detailed operation procedure, refer to Chapter 2, section 2.3, Conducting Image
Erasure Only [PRIMARY ERASURE].

2 Storage Conditions/Daily Maintenance


2.1 Storage Conditions
(1) Store IPs under the following environmental conditions.
No dew condensation
Packed : Under 35˚C
Unpacked : Under 33˚C and 80%RH
(2) Store IPs in a place where they are not exposed to direct sunlight or excessive ul-
traviolet rays or various radioactive rays.
(3) Do not bend IPs or impose strong force on them.

2.2 Daily Maintenance


(1) Do not use damaged IPs because image diagnosis can be affected.
(2) Handle IPs as carefully as possible. Do not damage or stain IPs.
(3) Do not bend IPs, hit them against some other objects or drop on the floor or table.

A B

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.

Do not apply light to the IP exposed but not yet processed.

Precautions for Exposure

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/
cm grid with fewer artifacts. However, it is also possible to use 80 grids/cm for 8 x 10” IP.

Precautions to Observe Before Using an IP


(1) IP erasure processing
Before using an IP, ensure that the IP has been subjected to image erasure pro-
cessing. Particularly when performing a low-dose exposure (high-sensitivity expo-
sure), be sure to use an IP that has been subjected to erasure processing.
Though in rare cases, remaining images may appear on an IP from which images
have already been read out, if such IP is used for re-reading with no due image
erasure processing. Subject IPs to proper image erasure processing and avoid the
use of insufficiently erased IPs.

(2) “Over-exposed IP. Poor erasure.”


If the “Over-exposed IP. Poor erasure.” error code is displayed for an IP exposed
to a large X-ray dose shown below, which is then read on the Image Reader, you
press Eraser button.
If the IP removed from the Image Reader is to be subjected to erasure processing
later, wait at least for 16 hours and then perform erasure processing.

<Exposure at large X-ray dose>


ST-VI : Tungsten (or W) target, about 400 mR or more

Subjecting an IP to exposure continuously at large X-ray dose may cause damage


due to X-rays (sensitivity deterioration) to occur on the IP. For this reason, avoid
using the same IP for exposure at large X-ray dose repeatedly.

1 Precautions for Exposure in the AUTO MODE


In the AUTO MODE, stable image output can be obtained by means of the following.
(1) Radiation field and IP split pattern recognition (PRIEF)
(2) Detailed depiction of the cervical region
(3) EDR image data analysis
However, problems may arise due to differences in multiple diaphragm or scattered rays
of the X-ray equipment. For such problems, contact our service engineer and use such
other recording modes as the SEMI-AUTO MODE or FIX MODE.

1.1 Radiation Field and IP Split Pattern Recognition
1 Be sure that the center (25 × 25mm (1.0 × 1.0 in.)) of the IP is in the radiation field. If the
IP is split for multiple exposures, each center of the split portions must be covered by the

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 2] Used to the mammography menu.


(1) Use “Breast-Chest Wall” in mammography for very small breast such as male
breast.

[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.

1.2 Depiction of the Cervical Region


1 The radiation field must not include the whole head. Be sure to secure transparent
portions on both sides of the neck.
( ) ( )

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.

Precautions for Exposure

1.5 EDR Image Data Analysis


1 Image unevenness appearing when the grid used for exposure is not correctly posi-
tioned in terms of the bulb, clothes shadow or unevenly radiated X-ray to the X-ray
exposure area can be referred to as the problems occurring during the EDR image
data analysis, which cause unstable density on the image. Avoid such unevenness
in the X-ray exposure area as far as possible.

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.

4 Precautions when using the AUTO MODE.

Auto mode Precautions


I As this mode is available on the assumption that it extracts
information concerning the skin, secure the positioning so
that there is an area other than the target where the direct
X-rays are incident.
II No special precautions
III Be sure to use the Ba contrast medium.
IV 1 Be sure to secure the positioning so that the X‑rays are
incident directly in the area outside the target.
2 As the reading latitude is fixed, it is necessary to control
the tube voltage as usual according to the thickness of the
target.
V As the reading latitude is fixed, it is necessary to control
the tube voltage as usual according to the thickness of the
target.
