IMPORTANT! . . . X-RAY PROTECTION
X-ray equipment may cause injury if used improperly. The instructions contained in this manual
must be read and followed when installing, servicing, or operating the Orthoralix® 8500. The
Orthoralix 8500 provides a high degree of protection from unnecessary X-radiation. However, no
practical design can provide complete protection, nor prevent operators from exposing
themselves or others to unnecessary radiation. It is important that you become fully acquainted
with applicable government radiation protection regulations. Many provisions of these
regulations are based on the recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements. Recommendations for dental X-ray protection are published in NCRP Report
Number 35 available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Ave., Suite 800, Bethesda, MD
20814, or at www.ncrp.com. Personal radiation monitoring and protective devices are available.
You are urged to use them to protect against unnecessary X-radiation exposure.

In the event of critical or non-critical conditions that would prevent the proper operation of the
equipment, the exposure is inhibited and an error message is displayed on the Main Control
Panel. When a fault occurs, EC is displayed in the mA display. The appropriate error code
number is displayed in the kV display.
When dE appears in the mA display, there is an error with the device. Check all network
connections first. If the error does not clear, enter the serial link diagnostics and enable verbose
diagnostic errors.
The appearance of dO in the mA display indicates that Demo Mode is engaged.
The error codes, type of fault, clearing method, and equipment condition are listed in the
following chart. Refer to Electrical Block Diagrams and PCB Layouts Section for connector
and test point positions.

Appendix Advanced Image Parameter
C Adjustments
CAUTION
If images are not satisfactory to the customer, these adjustments can refine
and improve image quality. Contacting Tech Support prior to initiating these
steps is recommended.
Third Party Viewer

To acquire appropriate image details and contrast in a third party viewer, the installer can
adjust dde.ini parameters and reprocess the images. A set of six images should be collected
and presented to the end user who then selects the best image.
NOTE: After dde.ini file is modified, exit GxStart program, then restart GxStart program.
There are six filters to adjust:

• CLAHE
• Spine
• Image Sharpening
• Gamma Correction
• Median
• Histogram
032-0246-EN Rev 2 C-1

Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization

(CLAHE) Filter
Improves the local image contrast. Since it is a local contrast enhancer, it
requires an explicit setting of region size in the x and y directions, maximum
gray level, and contrast clipping.
Clahe_used 1 – apply this filter to image
0 – do not apply
Clahe_nrx Region size in the x direction (image width). Default value is 16.
Increasing this value results in smaller region wise contrast change.
Clahe_nry Region size in the y direction (image height). Default value is 16.
Increasing this value results in smaller region wise contrast change.
Clahe_nrBin Local stack size. Default value is 1024. Reducing this value results in
tiling or blocks, and increasing the value increases smoothness.
Clahe_Max Maximum gray value. Default value is 4096. Since the image
received from the DMU is 12 bit long (4096 shades / grays), this
value is appropriate.
Clahe_Clip Contrast clipping. Default value is 2.0. Lowering this value reduces
image contrast.
Spine Correction Filter

Eliminates the dark pillar generated in the image due to inappropriate
application of kV values at the beginning and end of spine region in patient
anatomy. The system uses a standard geometry of patient anatomy and spine
region, which may be different for actual patients.
SpineCorr_Used 1 – apply this filter to image

0 – do not apply
SpineCorr_VertUsed Vertical columns are adjusted. Default value is 1.
SpineCorr_HorzUsed Horizontal rows are adjusted. Default value is 0.
SpineCorr_Percent Set to 100 for full adjustment; set to 10 for 10% adjustment.
The default value is 70.
Image Sharpening Filter

Sharpens the roots, nerve canal and hard / soft tissue transition in the image.
Sharpen_Used 1 – apply this filter to image

0 – do not apply
Sharpen_Value The default value is 3.75. Lowering this value results in less
sharpening in the image.
C-2 032-0246-EN Rev 2

Gamma Correction Filter
The cumulative effects from Kinematic changes, sensor speeds, offset / gain
compensation and pre-processing filters have made the improvements to the
image but they are not the same scale as in the old version. If the image is sent
to VixWin viewer, GxPicture applies the default GxStart image treatment of
gamma_correction set to 0.35 which will brighten the image. Use this filter to
reverse this brightening and bring the brightness to the desired level in VixWin
viewer.
Gamma_Used 1 – apply this filter to image

0 – do not apply
Gamma_Value The default value is 3.5, the optimal value for VixWin viewer.
Other values may be appropriate for third-party viewers.
Reducing this value reduces image brightness.
Median Filter
This filter is similar to the despeckle treatment in GxStart, which removes any
dark or bright spots seen in the image. These spots occur mainly due to the
poor sensor detector elements.
Median_Used 1 – apply this filter to image

0 – do not apply
Median_windowsize The default value is 3. Larger values give smoother images
while reasonably preserving the effect of sharpening filter.
Histogram Equalization Filter

This filter is similar to CLAHE, but uses no regions; the contrast adjustment is
applied to the entire image. It can be used if CLAHE is disabled.
Histo_Used 1 – apply this filter to image

0 – do not apply
Adjust Third Party Viewers

1. Access the dde.ini file located in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Gendex
2. Open the file using Windows Notepad and make the changes noted in the
following tables.
3. After each modification is saved, GxStart must be restarted in order to see the
effects in the processed image.
Note that only a single patient scan is required. Use RESEND in the LAST IMAGE tab
to generate as many images as possible. The original raw image resides in DMU at
the 8500 system. This image is available until the power is shut off or next scan is
performed.
