Using Neo S60 to Digitize Film and Paper
Neo S60 Acquisition Module (shown on the next page) is an acquisition interface
designed to work with the Neo S60 Digitizer. It interfaces with Genesis OmniVue
software and can digitize X-ray films and paper documents. When used with
OmniVue, Neo S60 Acquisition Module allows you to capture and create DICOM
objects from both film and paper. Here is how you can digitize film or paper:

1. Launch OmniVue and select the "Patient List" tab from the "WORKLIST." The
"Patient List" tab is the first tab in the "WORKLIST." This tab is only available if you
are using the USB protection key that came with your digitizer.

2. Click "New" and enter a new patient information. Click "Save & Start" to save
the information and move to the next tab. You can also double-click an existing
patient..

3. The "Acquisition" tab will be selected automatically.

User's Manual 33
4. Click "Acquire Digitizer" to launch Neo S60 Acquisition Module. The Acquisition
Module will appear on your screen.

5. Place an X-ray film or document to be digitized on the Input Tray. Place the
film facing up with the bottom of the X-ray feeding into the digitizer first. If
digitizing paper, place it facing down with the top of the page feeding into the
digitizer.

6. Select the film size or select paper depending on the material you want to
digitize. Since the software will perform autocropping as well as many other
functions automatically, you can leave this option on 14 x 17 at all times.

7. Select 72 (1K) or 150 (2K) as your resolution. Most film and paper require a
resolution of 72 to 200 dpi which is equivalent to 1K to 3K. Higher resolutions
create large files that are difficult to manage and transmit to other locations.

Note: You can also change options such as Auto Crop, Light Intensity,
Brightness and Contrast. By default, the program is setup to handle most types
of film and paper automatically. The option "Restore Default Settings" under
"Settings" button can reset all the settings to the factory default if you need to
reset them.

8. Click "Scan Film" or "Scan Paper" to start. After a few seconds of initializing,
the digitizer will start feeding the film or paper and digitize it. The digitizer
will need a few seconds to initialize if this is the first time you are scanning

34 User's Manual
paper or film after the digitizer has been turned on.

Note: The options "Scan Multi Film" and "Scan Multi Paper" are used when
scanning multiple films or multiple papers. The option "Scan Multi Film" must
be used with an optional Film Feeder. The option "Scan Multi paper" can be
used independent of the Film Feeder when you are digitizing multiple paper
sheets and want to feed them one at a time. The program will prompt you to
put each page in the digitizer.

9. You can repeat steps 5-8 to capture multiple film and paper documents. When
done, press "Exit" to close the Neo S60 Acquisition Module. If you have a Film
Feeder and place multiple films in it to digitize, you only need to click the
"Scan Multi Film" once and the Film Feeder will load and scan multiple films
for you.

10. After pressing "Exit", OmniVue will import the images into a list under
"Acquisition" tab. Depending on the number of images, this process may take
a few minutes.

11. To view the images or change their window and level, double-click the entry in
the list and start editing the images. To switch from viewing and adjusting the
images back to "WORKLIST", select "File", "View Worklist" to display the
Worklist again as shown below. You may be asked to save your changes if you
have made any.

12. In order to change modality or other options for your digitizer, refer to the next

User's Manual 35
two pages.

13. If you are satisfied with the images/exams you have digitized, click "Accept
Exam" in the "Acquisition" tab to permanently transfer them to the "Exam List"
tab. You will no longer be able to delete or add more images to this study.
However, if you want to delete and start over again, select the entry and click
"Delete Exam" from the "Acquisition" tab before you click "Accept Exam." Make
sure you click "Search" after you have deleted an entry to refresh the list.

Care and Cleaning
To ensure optimal performance from your digitizer, it is important to clean several
critical parts of the scanner on a regular basis. The Acquisition Module "Settings"
dialog lets you set reminders that will notify you when it is time to clean your
digitizer. Once you clean these parts, you should reset the counters.

two release buttons at both sides of the
front door in order to open the front door.

1. Push down the two buttons at both sides


of the front door as explaned on pages 32
and 33 and open the front door.

2. Use a soft, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth to

Cleaning the Rollers


Prolonged use of the digitizer may result in accumulation of chemicals and other
residue on the feed rollers, affecting their efficiency. Clean the rollers periodically
to maintain performance. The Acquisition Module can be set up to remind you to
clean the rollers after certain number of scans.

Rollers are found in two areas of the digitizer: directly on the digitizer, and on the
inside of the front door.

To clean the two sets of rollers:

1. Gently push down the two buttons at both sides of the front door and open the
front cover.

2. Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth or a swab moistened with alcohol or ECO
cleaner, as shown in the diagram below. Manually turn the rollers to clean the
back side as well. Make sure the digitizer is off so you can turn the rollers.

Maintenance
See the previous section "Care and Cleaning" for maintenance tips. In addition to
regular care and cleaning the rollers may become dirty after a period of time. In
this case, check the rollers and clean them with alcohol. After an extended period
of use, you may need to replace the rollers with new ones. Contact your local
dealer for the replacement of the rollers.
