Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

1. Introduction
feel-DRCS is the name of the digital radiography of imfoU Co. Ltd.
feel-DRCS is the DR console or DR control software that acquires image
from the DR detector like flat panel or CCD, processes rapidly for
clinical application, and provides DICOM services for the integration
with PACS system. This manual explains how to install and operate feel-
DRCS software.
(manufacturer : imfou Co., LTD.)

2. Purpose
feel-DRCS is the operation console system software integrated with
various detectors or X-ray generator, based on FS-MLW (Faster
Specialized Multi Layered Wavelet) technology.
feel-DRCS is the product developed for the operator, designed at the
clinical hospital through many years of clinical tests, and finished by
service engineers of former major DR makers.
feel-DRCS is the embedded software based on feel-TK enable to
remove noise and various artifacts and much clearer body tissue. The
embedded calibration function makes it possible to set the basic
calibration data (offset image and gain image) for all types of detector.
It can also process progressive defect by providing defect view.
feel-DRCS is distributed and being used at the clinical fields after
verifying software on various detectors distributed worldwide. It is easy
to use console system’s software just by changing the type of the
detector which DR makers want. Integrating the X-ray’s generator

4
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

operation panel, the total DR system inside the software makes it


possible to control APR, AEC, Ready/Exposure with ease.
feel-DRCS is integrated with various X-ray generators, supports APR
function, and provides all-in-one DR product which enables to work as
existing operation panel with just one console software.
feel-DRCS does not provide the software the DR makers, but the
knowhow as well as consulting services to be your best partner.

3. System requirements
3.1. Workstation
Processor: Intel Pentium Intel Duo Core/Core 2 Duo later, Win 7 : Intel
i5 Third generation 2.0Ghz or above
RAM : 2GB RAM
HDD: At least 40GB hard disk (if possible, over 7,200 RPM). For data
backup and reliability, we recommend two separate HDDs physically-
1st HDD: System and Software, 2 HDD: Image Data Storage, not
separating the partition logically with just one HDD.
Network Card : 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet Network Card
Video graphic adapter: at least over 1280 X 900 pixels, color resolution-
True Color mode(no shard memory), DVI interface connector
Operating System : Windows 7 32/64 bit(at least SP1), Windows XP
prof.(at least SP2), Windows 2000 prof.(at least SP4)
Need I/O : 1 Parallel port(synchronize Detector & X-ray Generator &
Software), 1 Serial port(in case Control of X-ray generator), 1 USB
port(Software Lock-Key)

5
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

3.2. Monitor
Over 19 inch (23 inch recommended)
 Brightness : over 300cd/m2
 Contrast Ratio : over DC 8000:1
 Response time : over 5 ms
 1600X1200 or 1920X1280 recommended (at least over 1280 X 900)
4:3 , 16:9. 16: 10 ratio supported.
 High fidelity of grayscale and optimized luminance distribution
If you want to use high-resolution monitor, we recommend medical
LCD monitor (B/W or color). There is no problem because the present
software was made based on gray color when you want to use black
and white monitor.
For image quality control, we recommend the below among medical
monitors. It is because it needs to adjust the image at the same
brightness for diagnosis after taking X-ray. Most of monitors are made
according to each country’s medical standard so that there is no
problem to use them.

after rebooting or starting setup.exe in the installation folder for re
modification.

4.11.1. Detector
Refer to the detector instructor of the respective manufacturer.

21
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

4.11.2. Generator

(1) GENERATOR

Enter the workstation No. of the applicable bucky when setting up


the generator.
If it apply to connect with AUX ,Enter the applicable workstation No.
Unless it apply, enter the the workstation No. of STAND or TABLE .
Comport : Select the using serial communication port that is
communicated with generator.

22
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

(2) IO Device for Trigger


Sometime, several detectors don’t support hardware trigger with X-
ray generator. In this case, you should have to use software trigger(if
the detector support it) with Digital IO Device. And you should have
to check a check box of Enable
i. IO Device Model
Select IO device model of PCI/LPCI/LPCIe-7250 or USB-7250.
ii. Ready Delay
This time mean that the check delay time is a starting time of
checking EXPOSUE button after pushing PREP(READY) button.
So, if you know a time of READY UP of generator, you type-in that
time value.

(3) ETC
i. 12 bit send
: To send the 12 bit dicom file must be set.
The rest part does not check this Because the raw data value is up to
14 bit. But PACS system is applies to process only 12 bit , always
check it .

ii. Interpolation
: This option is that you can choose ON/OFF of interpolation at the
time of image loading in review mode. When the images load in the

23
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

review mode, the feel-drcs apply interpolation for all images. So the
loading time needs more time according to image count.
But if you turn off this option, the feel-drcs does interpolation when
you work as using windowing, panning, zooming.

iii. AutoCrop
: This function is available in the only exposure mode.
The image size is automatically modified by adjusting the collimator
size of x-ray tube.
This function is operated only one time automatically.
Also it is possible to use the manual mode after releasing the this
one.

iv. Virtual Keyboard


: It is applied to write the text and adjust the window width/level
without keyboard.

24
Digital Radiography Console Software feel-DRCS

v. Reject
: This function applies to cancel the examination or reject the
acquired image after exposure and “Reject” mark is displayed on the
image. The image data is not able to use for diagnostic purpose and
does not delete the image from the saved drive. If the check is
released, the image will be deleted with cancellation.

vi.Analysis
: If you want to know analysis or statistics for the used DR console
station, you can use this function. This function informs you of
Exposure counts, Dicom sending and rejected image counts. And you
can check the rejected analysis that is done by operator.

vii. Stitching Processed Image


: Check this function when you want to stitch the processed image at the
time. Unless you don’t want this, release the this function.

vii. Sensitivity
: Check this function when you want to display the Exposure Index or
Exposure Indicator on the image.

viii. Use Ralco


: Check this function when using the Ralco Auto collimator.
Please, refer to the additional installation manual if you need it in
detail.

25
