Description of the Tomo Test Phantom

The test phantom is comprised of a hard plastic foam block with 2 slots and two lead strip
tests.
The two lead strip tests are inserted into the two slots of the hard plastic foam test phan‐
tom so that:
- the notches are facing to the outside
- the lead strip tests do not overlap
-the two notches are positioned at exactly the same height above the tabletop.
The test phantom is placed on the tabletop so that:
- one line test is on the anode side
-one axis of the test phantom is parallel to the table longitudinal axis
There is a difference in height between each of the holes of 2 mm in the line test that is
positioned at an angle of 20º. This makes it possible to exactly determine the tomo height
represented on the exposure.

The host port through which the DICOM association takes place.
Services
By pressing the Services buttons Storage, Worklist, StC, Print, MPPS or Q/R, the selected
services are assigned to the above network node.
Different parameters have to be set for the services mentioned below.
n Storage
For storing images/studies in the Patient Directory of the specified partner node, de‐
fined in the previous configuration step (Network Settings).
Active Servers
Archive
By activating this check box, the above configured ’Storage’ node can be set to an ar‐
chive
(compatibility to syngo).
StC Server
Select the StC server from the list box . Of course this assumes that a StC server al‐
ready exists and was configured previously.
Beginning with SW Version VC10, it is possible to select an individual StC server for
each configured storage node.
IOD
The Information Object Definition must be set here. The system supports three differ‐
ent IOD levels:
- SC
This object is used if the target DICOM AE does not support 'RF Objects'. This object
was originally specified for frame-grabbed images and images that do not meet all
requirements for other objects.
- XRF Ready Processed
Pixel data are sent ready processed to a DICOM node. This means all pixel manipula‐
tion operations, except windowing, are performed on the images and the results
are 'burnt in'. DSA images are stored subtracted. Shutter and image graphics are
burnt into the pixel matrix. The benefit of "XRF Ready Processed" is that an external
viewer can display the images easily.
- XRF Full
'Native' pixel data are sent to a DICOM node. That means that only some pixel ma‐
nipulation operations are performed on the images in the FL-C. DSA images are
stored as 'native'. Subtraction has to be performed on an external viewer (e.g. Leo‐

90 9 FL-C Service
nardo Angio Viewer). Shutter and image graphics are sent in DICOM attributes and
therefore have to be applied by the external viewer. The benefit of "XRF Full" is that
the external viewer is able to change most parameters of the image.
 The DICOM AETs defined in the table "Network Settings" must be able to support the
IODs defined here!
H/F values in overlay

If the checkbox "No H/F values in overlay" is set to active, the system does not send
the filter values H / F (Harmonization / Edge Enhancement) in the image overlay to the
specified destination node. If it is set to active, the system sends the filter values with
the image to the target node.
Ready window
Windowing is calculated into pixel data.
Ready Window is an option for SC and XRF Ready Processed only. With this option ena‐
bled, windowing is also calculated into the pixel data and an external viewer can dis‐
play the images even if the windowing parameters are not supported. The disadvant‐
age of "Ready Window" is that windowing can no longer be changed. This option
should only be used if the display of the images in PACS is otherwise not accepted by
the user.
n Print
To send images to a DICOM printer to be printed on film.
- Camera
Select the config file from the list box which is to be assigned to DICOM printer.
- Use of Presentation LUT
Check box to activate the option that a defined presentation LUT is to be used prior
sending image data to the DICOM printer.
This option should be enabled if the DICOM Camera supports the Print Presentation
LUT.
n Worklist
This button must be activated to get patient data from the HIS/RIS information server.
n MPPS (Modality Performance Procedure Step)
This function is based on the worklist service. Nodes with worklist support can be ex‐
panded by the MPPS function. The MPPS protocol is sent back to the MPPS server at
the end of an examination sequence with details on the performed examination
steps, attendances, etc.

FL-C Service 9 91
n StC (Storage Commitment)

This service is an expansion of the DICOM Send application. Image archiving is verified
by the archive system and communicated to the sending node in the network.
The storage commitment function can be set as follows:
- If the checkbox is activated, the configured archive sends the StC result in the same
association sequence at the end of a DICOM transfer if the storage process has com‐
pleted successfully.
The timeout for receiving the response from the archive can be set in "StC Result
timeout". The time is defined in seconds. The range is 0–10 s.
- If the checkbox is not activated, the configured archive will send the StC result at a
later date.
n Q/R (Query/Retrieve)
The Query/Retrieve option allows you to search for images, studies and patient direc‐
tories in a configured archive node. The Retrieve function can be applied to retrieve
the images, studies and patient directory objects.
Create New
If the Create New button is depressed the system creates a new network partner list. You
can enter a new network node.
Save
After all entries in the Network Settings menu have been completed you must save the
new network partner list and reboot the FL-C application software.
Remove
A previously marked network partner can be deleted from the Network Settings list.

Start creating a new node by pressing the <Create New> button.

n Define your partner node in the network (where you want to send the images to) by
entering distinctive node criteria, such as:
- Alias (a pseudo name of your partner node)
- DICOM AET (Application Entity title of the partner to specify the node as a DICOM
station)
- Host name (computer name of the node)
- IP Address (network/node address of the partner node)
- Port number (TCP/IP port for data exchange)
n Services
Define the services you want to use from this particular node:
- Storage
In the example above, the "LEO” workstation provides the "Storage" service, receiv‐
ing images from the Fluorospot Compact and storing them in its own Patient List
(database).
XRF Ready Processed
Basically, XRF Ready Processed objects comply with the same standards as those de‐
fined for XRF sub-objects. However, subtraction images are transmitted as raw data
images (none processed) to the network. This enables you to display the DSA im‐
ages in a native display on the workstation. The images can be processed in the
same way as in the FLUOROSPOT COMPACT acquisition system.
It can be set on the Storage tab whether the node serves as an archive. If yes, acti‐
vate the Archive check box.
An individual StC Server can be configured for every configured storage node. Open
the list box to select.

94 9 FL-C Service
- Storage Commitment, StC

The FLUOROSPOT COMPACT requests the archiving status info (StC result) from the
"Leonardo" archive station in the same association in which the image objects were
sent. The timeout for receiving the archiving status can be selected / configured
from the drop-down menu.
Fig. 22: DICOM Node Settings, Services Fig. 23: DICOM Node Settings, StC settings
- Query / Retrieve, Q/R

Query
The service Q/R allows a query for a Patient List, studies and images stored in the
database of the configured archive server. The query depth can be configured in the
archive server. In this function sequence, the Fluorospot Compact acts as a Service
Class User, applying the services supported by the provider. The archive server acts
as the Service Class Provider. The function status is displayed on the Live monitor.
Retrieve
After a successful query on the archive, the user can start retrieving the desired
folders. The retrieved folders are written in the "Examined Patient List" (database) of
the Fluorospot Compact. The flags of the retrieved folders are marked with "R" (re‐
trieved). This prevents images from folders from being reprocessed or from being
sent to the network again!
In this function sequence, the Fluorospot Compact acts as a Service Class Provider,
the archive server acts as the Service Class User applying the services supported by
the provider. The Retrieve Service must be configured in the archive server. The
function status is displayed on the Live monitor.

- CCD CorrMatrix
The CCD correction matrix is read out from the frame memory in the camera head
and transferred to the Camera Correction Board, CCB.
- CCD LTI On
The CCD sensor-specific "Fix Pattern Noise" is accumulated during the integration
period of this test sequence. This interference signal is not compensated in the Digi‐
tal Video Processor (DVP3). Immediately after starting the test, this typically struc‐
tured noise pattern appears on the live monitor with increasing intensity. If you see
the same result as described above, you can assume that the entire Image Acquisi‐
tion Chain is functioning properly.
- CCD Live Mode
The CCD signal is continuously connected through the image acquisition chain and
noise will be displayed on the live monitor.
n Acq Mode On
Image acquisition can be started by pressing the exposure switch on the X-ray system.

10.1.1.5 Tomo
The basis for all adjustments is the actual tomo height on the exposure. The adjustments
should be performed in the following sequence:
 1. Tomo height display on the remote control console.
2. Tomo symmetry.

Tomo Height Display

Fig. 91:
Conditions
1. Determine the actual tomo height using the tomo block. To do this:
- place the tomo height test (foam plastic block) on the tabletop and align the cen‐
tral beam (see sketch; here the notches in the test plates must be in the central
beam). When this is done, the transversely positioned test plate must be pointed
to the head end (anode side of tube assembly).
- Set a tomo height of “116” at the system control console.
- Move each test plate so that the notches have a spacing of Sha (tomo height dif‐
ference) = 116 mm, ± 1 mm to the tabletop. Position the plastic foam block under
fluoroscopy so that a test panel is displayed centered on the monitor screen.
 With room heights of < 285 cm, tomo can be initiated only in unit positions between
- 4˚ to + 4˚ and + 88˚ to + 90˚.
X - Insert a 24 cm x 30 cm cassette and trigger a tomo exposure at 40˚; 2.0 sec.; 44

kV; 36 mAs (200 film-screen system).
- Evaluate the exposures.
 Required: on the exposures, the hole behind the notch must be sharply fo‐
cused.
 Tolerance: 1 hole spacing = 2 mm difference in tomo height.
Adjustment
Entry: number of varying hole spacings times 2 mm.
Take note of the mathematical sign in front! The difference in the tomo height is correc‐
ted on the unit control console display.
The difference in the tomo height is corrected on the unit control console display.
The old offset value (display in 0.1 mm) is displayed in the window.

1. Confirm with OK.

 Afterwards, a window with the old and the new offset value is displayed.
2. Confirm with OK.
 The new offset value is now stored only in the unit!
3. Exit the service mode.
4. Switch off the system and back on again to permanently save the data.

X 1. Make another tomo exposure.
 The hole on the exposure behind the notch must be sharply focused.
Tolerance: 1 hole spacing = 2 mm difference in tomo height.
 Correction: Carry out the adjustment again.
Tomo Symmetry
General remarks
The idle time of the entire system can vary. For this reason, the lead times for exposure
triggering must be set.
When the delay time is adjusted, the time point of "exposure ON" is determined and with
it, tomo symmetry.
If the exposure result is already at the tolerance limit; perform the pin-hole exposure sev‐
eral times, because the idle time can vary.
Conditions
Column longitudinal, detector device longitudinal and tomo height console display adjus‐
ted.
1. Place the pin-hole plate on the tabletop in the central beam path.
2. Position the pin-hole plate under fluoroscopy so that the hole is centered on the moni‐
tor screen.
3. Collimate smaller than the pin-hole plate.
Adjustment

Because of this, adjust the potentiometer using the SSW: Monitoring: Unit position
so that a cassette size
- for cm cassettes between 20 and 22 cm or
- for inch cassettes between 28 and 32 cm
is displayed on the screen.
b) Do not mesh the potentiometer into position yet!
19. Select the cassette program in cm or inches that is most frequently used for the ad‐
justment. Use only cassettes that are in very good condition. Otherwise, sporadic er‐
rors can occur in cassette sensing.

Cassette Sensing
Format sensing for width takes place by counting the "cassette transport" encoder pulses
between the back edge of the cassette and the photo-sensitive cell, the loading position
and front edge of the cassette park position photo-sensitive cell. For the height, it takes
place by means of the R3 "tension cassette" potentiometer. Cassette sensing is adjusted
using only the cassette tensioning potentiometer. Incorrect cassette sensing can also be
caused by a defective park position photo-sensitive cell or a defective encoder.

Cassette Transv.: Exposure Position

There are 2 equally good adjustment possibilities:
Mechanical: Mechanical Adjustment without Radiation
Exposure: Using previously made control exposures, with radiation.
n The exposure position is derived from the position of the photo-sensitive cells in the
park position and the defined path.
n Since the path is the same for all units, only the different positions of the photo-sensi‐
tive cells are corrected.

n With the “Mechanical” adjustment, the position of the photo-sensitive cell is indicated
by a cassette position to a mechanical mark.
n With the “with exposure” adjustment, the difference of the required exposure posi‐
tion to the actual exposure position should be entered in mm based directly on a cas‐
sette exposure.
n If CANCEL is pressed, no adjustment is made.

Diaphragm Plates: Basic Setting

Fig. 107:
Explanation:
The diaphragm plate opening is derived from the position of the photo-sensitive cell and
the program-controlled movement path. Since the movement path is the same for all
units, only the different positions of the photo-sensitive cells are corrected.
Adjustment
1. Move the diaphragm plates to the reference position.
 The diamond on the foot-end collimator plate frame and the notch on the
spotfilm device housing must line up (± 1 mm), see illustration.

10.2.1.3 Movement Tests

Remarks regarding use of the "Movement Tests"
Tension of the Cassette: Check the "Cassette tension function".
Move the cassette transverse drive in the park position direction: Check the trans‐
verse cassette drive. Check the correct transverse cassette format sensing or the position
of the park position photo-sensitive cell. Check the reproducibility of transverse cassette
format sensing (carry out the test several times).
Move the cassette transverse drive in the loading position direction: Check the trans‐
verse cassette drive. Check the reproducibility of cassette movement in the exposure posi‐
tion (carry out the test several times).
Diaphragm Plates: Check the collimator plate drive. Check the reproducibility of collima‐
tor plate positioning.
Grid: Check the grid drive. Check the reproducibility of grid positioning.
Cassette Tension
During the movement test, the drive is controlled at "normal" speed. In addition, the ac‐
tual value is displayed.
In this way, the operating noises as well as the function of cassette tensioning are
checked in all unit position and cassette positions (cassette in load position or in the vicin‐
ity of the park position).
Since the actual value is also displayed, it is possible to check the mechanical positioning
of the drive versus the actual value sensing.

 The normal cassette functions are switched off.
Cassette in Park Position

This movement test should be carried out alternately with the "Transverse cassette drive
in loading position direction" test. Only in this way can the movement, etc. be evaluated
optimally.
After this movement, the cassette is in the park position. With normal operation, the cas‐
sette always moves out of the park position so far that the movement path for the expo‐
sure position is minimal.
tual value is displayed. When using a 12-inch cassette, 17 steps (digits) must be subtrac‐
ted from the displayed actual value.
In this way, the operating noises as well as the function of the cassette transport mecha‐
nism can be tested in all unit positions.
The displayed "current position" should remain constant with frequent movement (± 2
Bits). Differences can be caused by belt slipping or also by errors in actual value sensing.
If the "current position" differs by more than 4 Bits from the "target position", adjust the

park position photo-sensitive cell.
"Current position" too low: Move the park photo-sensitive cell towards the wall (0.28
mm/pulse).
The status of the park photo-sensitive cell is displayed.

If the park position is not sensed or if movement takes too long, movement is aborted.
 The cassette can be moved out at any time with the eject key.
Cassette in the Load Position

This movement test should be carried out alternately with the "Transverse cassette drive
in park position direction" test.
The movement can be evaluated optimally only in this way.
After this movement, the cassette is in the load position.
During the movement test, the drive is controlled at the "normal" speed. In addition, the
actual value is displayed. When using a 12-inch cassette, 17 steps (digits) must be sub‐
tracted from the displayed actual value.
This way, the operating noises as well as the function of the cassette transport mecha‐
nism can be tested in all unit positions.

The displayed "current position" should remain constant with more frequent movement
(± 2 Bit). Differences can be caused by belt slipping or also by errors of the actual value
sensing.
If the "current position" differs by more than 4 Bits from the target position, adjust the

park position photo-sensitive cell.
Current position is too low: Move the "park position photo-sensitive cell" towards the
wall (0.28 mm/pulse).
The status of the "load photo-sensitive cell" is displayed.

If the load position is not detected or if the movement takes too long, movement is abor‐
ted.
 The cassette be moved out at any time using the eject key.
Diaphragm Plates: Basic Setting

In this way, the operating noises as well as the function of the diaphragm plates can be
tested in all unit positions.
The diaphragm plates move; first there is an initialization movement into the photo-sensi‐
tive cell and then a defined maximum pulse number movement out of the photo-sensi‐
tive cell. Then the diaphragm plates move again in the direction of the photo-sensitive
cell until it responds.
Grid
In this way, the operating noises as well as the function of the grid can be tested in all
unit positions.

- The movement must start softly (ramp), without hesitation and run smoothly and brake
softly (brake ramp). If there is a malfunction, maintain the mechanism per the Mainte‐
nance Instructions (greasing, oiling, cleaning).
- For drives with a brake or brake assembly, its function should also be tested.
Status Test
1. To check the function, carry out each test several times.
 If there are malfunctions, the power supplies, leads and connector should be
checked in addition to the defective switch or photo-sensitive cell.
Drive Position
2. Move into the SID, Compression and table transverse movement range limit switches
several times to check reliable switch-off of the movement. When doing this, the me‐
chanical stop may not be contacted.

3. With position sensing with the potentiometers (tilt > table longitudinal > spotfilm
longitudinal > column longitudinal > sensing of compression force > cassette ten‐
sioning and grid movement), pay particular attention to the following points:
- If no movement has been controlled, the potentiometer value must remain stabile.
Differences up to ± 2 digits for all drives. If there are malfunctions, the power sup‐
ply and the potentiometer must be checked, and if needed, replaced.
- If another movement is controlled, the potentiometer value must also remain sta‐
bile. Differences of up to ± 2 digits are permissible for all drives. If there are mal‐
functions, the power supply and the potentiometer lead, including applied shield‐
ing and connector must be checked. If needed, replace the potentiometer lead.
- If several potentiometers are affected at the same time, troubleshooting can be
performed for the power supply or the board with the AD converter; if needed, see
wiring diagram or replace the board.
- The pinion gear may not exert any axial or radial pressure on the potentiometer.
Because of this, there must always be a minimum gap between the pinion gear on
the potentiometer and with the pinion gear, belt or rack with coupled to the
movement.
With transverse tabletop, SID and Compression, the status of the actuated limit switch
is displayed in the screen.

11.1.1.1 Truncated Messages

On the FLUOROSPOT Compact, a logged message consists of 72 characters. But the origi‐
nal message length may consist of 80 characters. So in this case, special keywords are
used.
Example:

Event Log 11 225
Fig. 125: Truncated event log messages
Explanation of the truncated Line Ending:

n Backlog:
The error occurred while the FLUOROSPOT COMPACT was turned off or while it was
booting. Thus the error was stored in the XCU. When the system restarts and the FLU‐
OROSPOT COMPACT is ready, the error is sent by the XCU to the FLUOROSPOT COM‐
PACT together with the other error messages which may have occurred while the FLU‐
OROSPOT COMPACT was offline. However the FLUOROSPOT COMPACT stores the date
and time of the error when it is logged and NOT when it really occurred. So for these
particular errors, Backlog is appended to the text message.
n Reset:
This means that a message is set while performing an action (e.g. pressing a button)
or when an error occurs: an event is logged. The same message is logged when the
action ends or the error goes away (e.g. releasing a button). As a result, Reset is dis‐
played at the end of the 2nd message to indicate that the action/error is finished /
gone.
n BackRst:
is appended to the text message if both cases described above apply to an entry at the
same time.
n no src:
means that there is no additional information for this fault from the program, e.g.
auxiliary parameters are information about the program line in the C++ code.
n xx times:
This entry means that if an event occurs several times, it is not logged each time. The
event is logged once together with the number of occurrences at the end of the mes‐
sage text (e.g. 17 times).
The count is stopped if an event with another APID or another error number is log‐
ged.
In our systems, there are 2 entries: the first entry is the event message without the
occurrence number and the 2nd event message is the same with the occurrence num‐
ber at its end.

226 11 Event Log
n Tube:
means that the tube selected when the error occurred is displayed in the logged mes‐
sage (e.g. tube 1). It is useful to find the possible cause of high voltage issues (e.g.
arcing).

 Local Service

228 13 Remote Service
13.1 Remote Service
13.1.1 General
There is no significant difference between local service on the FL-C and remote service.
The system SSW as well as the FL-C SSW are HTML programs and thus fully remote-capa‐
ble.
Exceptions are the XCS SSW and the Luminos dRF unit SSW. The two service software pro‐
grams are still Windows 3.11-based and thus can be be performed only locally on the FL-
C.
13.1.2 Remote Access Modes

There are 3 remote access modes:
n No Access:
- No remote connection is established.
n Limited Access:
- The "Event Log" can be read out.
- The "Reports" can be read out.
- Reading access is possible on most SSW components.
n Full Access:
- All functions of "Limited Access" are possible.
- Configurations can be changed.
- Anonymized patient images can be transferred.
- Triggering of radiation and unit movements are not possible remotely.
