and 40mm acrylic.
2) Develop the film.
3) Place the film on the AEC detector location figure (included in the
appendices).
4) Draw detector ellipse on the film and mark its name next to it (not inside
of it).
5) Measure a detector-specific optical density in the middle of the ellipse and

write it next to the ellipse name.
For example the detector C4 would have the following notations (x marks the
O.D. reading):
6) If the acquired O.D. is not within the limits, adjust the values as instructed
in Diamond Service Manual (86502), Chapter 5.2.4, Adjustment of an
individual detector.

Object thickness compensation adjusts linearity that affects the curve form
1) Make three exposures with different phantom thicknesses (for example

20mm, 40mm, 60mm to get short, medium and long exposure time) and
record the corresponding exposure times and O.D:s. Recommended
exposure times would be appr. 500ms, 1sec and 2 second exposures
respectively.
2) Use the clinically typical kV (e.g. 26kV) and Auto Time-mode for all
exposures.
3) Measure the optical density for both molybdenum and rhodium filter. Plot
the values in tables below.

4) Mark the points to the O.D vs. exposure time graph. Draw a line through
the three points. They should form a horizontal line within 2'.

If the O.D. values for 20mm, 40mm and 60mm thicknesses fall within
these limits, no thickness compensation is required.
For example, if O.D. for 40mm thickness is 1.6, other O.D. values (for
20mm and 60mm thicknesses) should fall between 1.45 and 1.75. If not,
then adjustment is required.
2'YDOXHVRIIWKHOLPLWV
If the optical density with 20mm acrylic or 60mm acrylic are different than
the optical density with than 40 mm acrylic, then thickness compensation
parameters have to be adjusted as instructed in next chapter.

The optical density can be adjusted by
thickness specific compensation parameters
which affect the the exposure by increasing
or decreasing the exposure time for a
specific thickness value. Curves can be of
various shapes (graph in the right).
The graph below is a representation of one type curve, which is adjusted to

exemplary target O.D. of 1.6. Adjust the O.D. according to customer’s desires.
1) If the O.D. at thickness of 4cm is at target, then proceed to next step. If

not, adjust the parameter ’J’ (instructions in Chapter 7.3.3, Basic
adjustment) so that you obtain the required O.D. at 4cm.

2) Look for the H[SRVXUHWLPH with which the required O.D. with 40mm
acrylic was obtained (in Chapter 7.3.3). Write this time on the line below
or to the AEC Calibration table in the Appendix section:
Exposure time = This value is ’3’.
3) Look for the O.D. for the shorter exposure time (for example the 20 mm
Acrylic exposure time). Divide the required O.D. with this value. This
value will provide the direction of the adjustment. Test always for exact
values, because the film, processors and processing conditions vary.
This value is ’U’
86501 55 May 2001

4) Look for the O.D. for the longer exposure time (for example the 60 mm
Acrylic exposure time). Divide the required O.D. with this value.
This value is ’U’
5) Enter the service program PrD03 and choose 7KLFNQHVVFRPSHQVDWLRQ.
6) Press the Next -key on until the ’3’ for ’rotation Point’ appears in
screen, then scroll up or down up to set the H[SRVXUHWLPH
which has the correct O.D. from the calculation performed above. This is
the exposure time, which is not affected by thickness compensation (=the
rotation point). When the parameter is set, proceed to set other parameters.
7) Press the Next -key on until the ’U’ appears in screen, then scroll
up or down up to set up the ’U’ parameter. This parameter
gives the amount of rotation at exposure times shorter than the rotation
point ’3’. For example if the short exposure has 12% too dark, a density
enter 0.88 for ’U’.
8) Press the Next -key on until the ’U’ appears in screen, then scroll
up or down up to set up the ’U’ parameter. This parameter
gives the amount of rotation at exposure times longer than the rotation
point ’3’. For example, if the long exposure has 12% too light a density
enter 1.12 for ’U’.
9) Check O.D. after changing the ’U’ and ’U’-parameters. Readjust, if

necessary.

1) Return to the service mode and make two exposures with Auto Time-
mode N9 so that very long exposure time (four times longer than
exposure time for 40 mm Acr = for example 4-5 sec.) and very short
exposure time (3 of exposure time for 40 mm Acr = for example 250-300
ms) are achieved. Write all exposure data to the AEC Calibration table in
the Appendix section.
2) Develop the films and record the optical density of the films (=O.D).
3) Select the adjustment direction of ’6’ (affects the compensation slope at

exposures shorter than rotation point ’3’, when a very thin breast is
examined) and ’6’ (affects the compensation slope at exposures longer
than rotation point ’3’ when a very thick breast is examined) from the table
below.

’6’ and ’6’ can have values 0, 50, 100, 150...up to 700. The maximum
compensation is 140% or 60% of O.D. in ’3’ (rotation Point).
4) Enter the service program PrD03 and choose 7KLFNQHVVFRPSHQVDWLRQ.
5) Press the Next -key on until the ’6’ appears in screen, then scroll
up or down up to set up the ’6’ parameter. This parameter
affects the compensation slope at exposures much shorter than rotation

Optical density can also be adjusted by kV specific compensation parameters,
which affect the exposure by increasing or decreasing the exposure time for a
specific kV value.
1) Check the linearity with a couple of control kVs (e.g. low (24kV), medium
(28kV) and high (32kV), using Molybdenum and Rhodium filter if
available). Use Auto Time-mode and thick enough an acrylic to produce
a clinically typical exposure time at each kV (appr. 1 sec.).

May 2001 60 86501

4) Mark the received O.Ds for Contact to the table below. x = molybdenum
5) Connect the received O.D.:s with a line. If the line shows a regular pattern
close to the required O.D. line in that chart (one of the horizontal lines at
regular intervals) then the O.D. is alright. If not, measure optical density
for each kV, using Molybdenum and Rhodium filter if available.
86501 61 May 2001

6) Plot the received O.D.:s on the chart and check which ones need
adjustment (graph is for reference only). If the line is not linear, check all
kVs.
7) Enter kV Compensation in service program PrD03.
8) Perform necessary changes for all cassette holder and filter combinations.
If the required O.D. is for example 1.6 at 26kV and 1.3 at 23kV, increase in
service program PrD03 (23kV selected), the factor to 1.2. Exposure again and
check the O.D. Test every other kV values (…23, 25, 27, 29…) and then estimate
factors for values in between (…24, 26, 28…).
$XWRN9SURJUDPPLQJ
Adjust density compensations for each filter and cassette holder combination in
Auto kV mode. Set the new values in the service program PrD03. Usually for the
user the density step change is 10% or 12%, but in the service program the step
is half of this.

In Auto-kV mode, Diamond determines whether the calculated exposure time
with the initial kV conforms to target time curve. If the exposure time (function
of compression thickness) is too long or short, Diamond then increases or
decreases the kV value. In order to produce the target exposure time, Diamond
interpolates between two points of the linear target time curve to find the required
kV-value.
If initial kV is badly off, the necessary change in kV might be more than the kV
change limit in service program PrB06 allows. In this case Diamond will use the
kV that is a sum of the initial kV and the maximum allowed change (+/-) in kV.
The initial kV adjustment instructions are in Chapter 7.3.10, Initial kV tables. The
kV change limit can adjusted in service program PrB06.
The curve slope is defined with two thickness points, one at 2cm and another one
at 6cm. Target times can be set in service program PrD05. As the used target time
depends on the country, film and film developer, the parameters have to adjusted
according to local conditions and requirements. For reference only, some users
have used values from 0.4s to 0.5s for lower limit and from 1.0s to 1.6s for upper
limit. If the lower limit is less than 0.2s, the exposure is too quick and grid lines
appear in the image.
The graph below describes how changes in target time limit affect the curve slope.
If the target time limits are set at the maximum values, the result is the steep curve
$. When the lower limit is raised up the and higher limit lowered down, the curve
becomes flatter (% and &) and vice versa.

The initial kV is the first kV that Diamond uses for a certain thickness. Initial kV
tables can be set in service program PrD06 and the kV change limit in PrB06.
Each cassette holder can have its own Initial kV for various thicknesses. The ideal
case would be that initial kV-values would conform to target time curve values
and that there would no need for kV changes.
1) Expose in Auto kV-mode and check the used kV-values at 2cm, 4cm, 6cm
and 8cm thicknesses.
2) In service program PrD06, select Bucky, Magnification or Contact.
3) Scroll through thicknesses (at 0.5cm intervals) and set initial kV for each
one of them. Set the values from step 1 and make a linear estimate for
other thicknesses.

4) Repeat the procedure for each cassette holder and filter combination.
5) Adjust the kV change limit in service program PrB06.
If the initial kV-values are badly off, the target times are not reached because the
required kV change exceeds the adjustment range for kV change limit. Diamond
will make the exposure but the exposure time will be different than what target
time curve suggests. High kV-values tend to reduce contrast, but it is worthwhile
to check if film manufacturer recommends higher initial kV-values.
