How to print and add Comments 1

Printing single Pages, Chapters or the complete Manual IMPORTANT: This PDF manual is screen optimized – nevertheless it is possible to print single pages, single chapters or the complete manual on paper size DIN A4 or Letter. Some pages – especially circuit diagrams for equipment – have been created on paper size larger than DIN A4/Letter. Printing these pages on DIN A4/Letter may result in reduced legibility. Preferably print circuit diagrams on a DIN A3/ANSI B (Ledger) printer, if available.

Safety

1.1

General Safety Instructions • The ADC Solo has been designed for scanning medical X-ray image plates and should only be used for these purposes. • The ADC Solo must only be operated by qualified staff trained on the machine. • Make sure that the ADC Solo is constantly monitored in order to avoid inappropriate handling, especially by children. • Only trained service personnel must make repairs. Only authorized service personnel must make changes to the ADC Solo. • If there is any visible damage to the machine casing, do not start nor use the ADC Solo. • If you want to connect the ADC Solo with other devices, components or assemblies and if the technical data do not permit determining whether the combination with these devices, components or assemblies involves hazards, you must consult the respective manufacturers to avoid danger for operating personnel or the environment. • Do not override or disconnect the integrated safety features. • Switch off the ADC Solo before performing any maintenance work or repairs. Disconnect the ADC Solo from the mains before making repairs or performing any maintenance activities. • As is the case for all technical devices, the ADC Solo must be operated, cared for and serviced correctly. • If you don't operate the ADC Solo correctly or if you don't have it serviced correctly, Agfa-Gevaert is not liable for resulting disturbances, damages or injuries. • When installing the ADC Solo, care must be taken to ensure that there is either a mains plug or an all-cable disconnecting device in the internal installation fitted near the ADC Solo and that it is easily accessible. • If you notice conspicuous noise or smoke, disconnect the ADC Solo immediately. • Check that the voltage setting of the machine matches the power supply voltage before connecting the machine to the mains.

DD+DIS249.02E

Safety Instructions for Laser Products The ADC Solo is a classification class 1 Laser Product, that makes use of a 35mW laser diode in a housing. In normal operating conditions, when both panels are closed, there can't be any laser radiation outside the unit. It is nevertheless imperative that the local radiation safety regulations regarding the protection of staff against scattered radiation are complied with, if the Digitizer is located in the immediate vicinity of an X-ray room. For laser safety, only open up the right panel as described in the user manual to solve possible cassette or image plate jams. When the panel is removed, the main power supply is automatically disconnected to prevent laser radiation.

Preparations for the Installation

5.1

Preconditions The following work has to be performed before the system components are installed: - the digitizer is unpacked at its installation site - finished preinstallation (network connection, electric installations) - Creation and adaptation of the configuration file adc.cpf, together with the application specialist. It is recommended to create and adapt the configuration file adc.cpf, which is used by all ADC Components, before starting the installation. This allows a smooth installation.

You have to distinguish between the integration into an independent, pure ADC Solo Network (1digitizer, 1 Processing station, 1 Preview/ID station) and the integration into an existing network. When integrating the digitizer into an existing network, it is necessary to create a CPF– file beforehand (see chapter 11, Installation Planning, checklist). With a pure ADC Solo Network the shipment configuration can be used.

Digitizer as a part of the ADC System

1.1

ADC System Components ADC Cassette with image plate inside The ADC cassette is the “container” for the image plate. During the handling outside the Digitizer (e.g. exposing the plate) the image plate is in the cassette. It is only opened inside the Digitizer. The ADC cassette has an internal chip card which holds the cassette, patient, examination and routing data belonging to a certain X-ray exposure. The data put together are called demographic data. The image plate takes the place of the X-ray film in a conventional system. It receives the X-Ray radiation and “stores” a latent image. The image plates can be reused thousands of times. The actual restriction of utilization is the mechanical robustness. ADC Identification Station The Identification Station is used to write the cassette, patient, examination and routing data to the cassette chip. This data can be entered manually or by retrieving the data from a Hospital or Radiology Information System (HIS/RIS). By means of a so called Identification Tablet (ID-Tablet) the data is transferred to the chip. Writing and reading is done by means of radio frequency in a contact less manner. The Identification software is an AGFA product and is running on MSWindows based operating systems (WIN95/98, WinNT4.0). ADC Digitizers (Compact Plus / Compact / Solo) The Digitizer is used to read the latent image in the image plate. After the ADC cassette is exposed and identified it is inserted into the Digitizer. The Digitizer reads the data on the cassette chip, opens the cassette, takes out the image plate and scans it. The latent image on the image plate is stimulated by means of a laser beam to emit light according to X-ray exposure. The data from the cassette chip is used to set the scan parameters correctly (e.g. speed class, image plate size, etc.) for this individual X-ray exposure. The emitted light is converted into voltage and then digitalized into a 12/14bit, square root compressed raw image. This image is transmitted together with the chip data on the fly via Ethernet to the Processing Station. A backup of that image is made on the internal hard disk in parallel to retransmit the image in case of transmission problems. The output format of the Digitizer is DICOM SCU-CR. After scanning / transmitting is finished the image plate is erased with very bright light to make it ready for the next exposure. It is put back into the cassette and a status flag on the cassette chip is set from “EXPOSED” to “ERASED”. The cassette is returned to the user and is ready for the next examination.

Functional Description

DD+DIS249.02E

ADC Processing Station The Processing Station receives the raw image from the Digitizer. Every incoming image runs through an image processing. The processed images are stored on the internal hard disk(s) on the Processing Station. However, the Processing Station only provides short term storage. The final archiving must be realized either by hardcopies or a PACS. Further on, the Processing Station decodes the routing data and sends the image data to the selected destinations (e.g. Preview, Printer, PACS). The Preview Station has the highest priority in the sending list. A Softcopy can be sent to an Archive or Review Station with 8 or 12 bit. To print a Hardcopy a 8 bit format is used. For the Processing Station a lot of licensed software options (e.g. Interactive Image Processing, Annotation, Smart Print, etc.) exist. The Processing Station is a Solaris (UNIX- OS) based SUN workstation with the Medical Image Management Operating System of AGFA (MIMOSA) installed. ADC QS Server Station The ADC QS (Quality System) Server Station is a NT-based Processing Station with the ADC Quality-System software installed.

ADC Preview Station The Preview Station software is not a mandatory part of the system. However, in most of the installations this feature is used to get a fast view on the just scanned image, therefore the Processing Station is sending a 8 bit preview image to the Preview Station. This allows the user to release the patient rather quickly from the examination session. Several Preview Stations can be served by one Processing Station. The Preview Station software may run on the same PC-Hardware as the Identification Station software, but it may also run on a separate PC. The Preview software is an AGFA product and runs on MS-Windows based operating systems (WIN95/98, WinNT4.0). ADC QS Client Station The ADC QS (Quality System) Client Station allows identification and basic viewing.

Dedicated configuration offers a time saving workflow (approximately one minute for a two cassettes study). If only one ID Station is dedicated to one ADC Solo, cassettes can be identified without using an ID-Tablet. This option is called Direct ID. The demographic data are transmitted from the ID Station to the digitizer via the network. This data flow makes it possible to scan an IP and simultaneously to enter the ID data. • A speed class is selected on the ADC Solo by use of the emergency buttons. The sensitivity associated with the emergency buttons has been set during the configuration of the system. • An exposed but unidentified cassette is inserted into the digitizer. • By entering the cassette, the digitizer reads the remaining cassette information of the RF Tag and a communication channel to its dedicated ID Station is opened.

The digitizer starts scanning the IP and sends an ID Data Request message to the ID Station along. The ID Window pops up at the ID Station and the ID data have to be entered. After the user completed the information at the ID Station, it is sent back to the digitizer. The communication channel is closed afterwards. The transmission of the scanned image to the Processing Station and the Fast Preview image data is sent to the PRID-Station. Before the cassette is put out, the ID data on the RF Tag is erased and the cycle counter is increased by the digitizer.

• • •

Dealing with an emergency cassette the identification can be left out at all. Therefore, the user enforces the complete processing of the IP by pressing the Confirm Key at the digitizer. The digitizer emits an ID Cancel command to the ID Station, where the ID screen drops and the communication channel is closed. The digitizer completes its emergency cycle and increases the cycle counter of the cassette.

1.4

Combination of Direct ID and Fast Preview The features Direct ID and Fast Preview can also work in combination: • A speed class, by use of the emergency buttons, is selected on the digitizer.

Edition 2, Revision 0



An exposed but unidentified cassette is inserted into the digitizer.



The digitizer starts scanning the IP and sends an ID Data Request message to the ID Station along. The ID Window pops up at the ID Station and the ID data will be entered.



While the user is entering the data, the Fast Preview screen of the PRID is not visible. The transmission of the reduced Fast Preview image will be postponed until the ID data is completely inserted.



The digitizer sends the image to the Processing Station and parallel the reduced Fast Preview image to the PRID. As soon as the calculation of the image is finished, the Processing Station sends the preview image to the PRID and replaces the Fast Preview.

The metal label is detected by the digitizer to identify the cassette as an ADC cassette. The demographic data is at the IDStation transferred by no-touch radio frequency tagging to the ID-Chip and is read out in the digitizer. The data is in that way always linked to the image. For protection against electrostatic charging and mechanical damage the inner lining of the cassette is made of felt.

ADC MD30 Image Plate Principle The image plate laying in the cassette consists of five different layers: The phosphor layer is “storing” the picture information as energy .

Combination of white support layer and blue anti-halo layer increases the sensitivity. The anti-halo layer lets through the stimulated light but blocks laser light. The laminate is needed as base material.

Mammography Cassette The ADC Mammo Cassette is only foreseen for mammography of breast implants and must not be used for other mammographic applications or diagnostics! Identification: The cassette is labeled with “Mammo” on both sides and with “Implants” on the tube side. The cassette is pre-initialized as a Mammo Cassette, but if the identification is lost, it can be given via the ID Station. Formats: The ADC Mammo Cassette is available in two formats: • 18 cm x 24 cm • 24 cm x 30 cm Specification: The ADC Mammo Cassette contains normally a regular ADC MD30 image plate. This type of image plate has a special phosphor layer which results in a high dynamic range. The cassette is equipped with a special hinge in order to reduce the chest wall distance to the image plate. The Mammo Cassette is intended to follow up implants (silicone, prosthesis) to check for position, leaks or calcifications.

Stimulation and Scan of IP Stimulation of the image plate is done pixel by pixel, therefore the laser beam (1) is moved (C). The movement in the x-axis (A) is achieved by the Galvo (2), which is an oscillating mirror. This movement is controlled by a sweep signal generated at the scan control board. The movement in the y-axis (B) is done mechanically by transporting the image plate (slow scan direction) with two pairs of rolls.

The period of the sweep signal (1) is generated at the scan control board and transmitted to the Galvo. The signal controlling the laser diode (3) status (on/off), is synchronized with the sweep signal (1) at the scan control board. After a certain settling time a constant laser movement with a constant speed (2) over the IP is reached. The IP is stimulated only during this constant period. To exclude the settling time from data acquisition the A/D window (4) is set to the time period when laser moves constantly and IP is actually digitized.

Laser Diode The laser beam is generated by a 35 mW red laser diode in a housing, with a wavelength of 660 nm. Laser classification class I.

3.4.3

Galvanometer The Galvanometer, so called Galvo, deflects the laser beam of the laser diode to move in lines (fast scan direction) over the IP. The deflection range and speed depends on the IP format width. The control signal for the Galvo is generated at the scan control board and is called sweep signal.

The laser beam (1) moving in fast scan direction over the surface of the IP (2) stimulates the phosphor layer in it. The intensity of the emitted light of the IP varies for each pixel and depends on the stored energy during the X-ray exposure. The light (5), emitting in all directions (3), is collected by two bundles of glass fiber (4). Each of the bundles consists of 6500 single fibers. The light detection is done by a photomultiplier tube (7), which generates an electrical signal out of it. The light from the input of the photomultiplier is converted into a proportional current on the output. The amplification of the signal is set by the high tension voltage (HT) of the photomultiplier. The high tension is calculated with two mathematical constants MFA and MFB (machine factor A and B). The constants are part of the settings of the digitizer and do not have to be changed in the field. The high tension supply is integrated in the photomultiplier box. The photomultiplier is equipped with a blue filter glass (6) for separating the emitted blue light from the stimulating red light. 3.4.5

PIN Diodes Function of the PIN diodes is to monitor the laser beam. They detect: • Presence of laser beam • Deflection speed of the laser beam: The deflection speed is determined by means of the pin diodes signal; in case of deviations the sweep signal will be corrected.

DD+DIS249.02E

Intensity of the laser beam The power of the laser beam on the IP is calculated by means of the analogue pin diodes voltage and the PD factor. Laser power = Analogue pin diodes voltage x PD factor - PD factor = Sensitivity of the pin diodes - The PD factor is determined during manufacturing - The PD factor is installed from floppy (PIN DIODE FACTOR). The two slits, in one line with the pin diodes, allows the light to pass and offer an additional precise verification and adjustment of the laser beam position. In normal use it can occur that one or both fiber spots are not illuminated. Reason: Allowed pointing stability of the laser. The fiber spots allow an inspection of correct laser beam adjustment at the front of the scan unit. The pin diodes signal is evaluated by the Scan Control Board.

4.4.1

Unloading IP from Scan Unit and transport to Erasure Unit 1

As scan process is finished, scan rollers stop to transport the IP in slow scan direction. Erasure lamps (1) switch on. For unloading IP of scan unit the scan rollers turn direction and move IP upwards (see arrow). Suction cups of transport unit are positioned again on the surface of IP and vacuum pump starts. As the IP is sucked the scan rollers (2) move apart and the IP is moved by transport robot to erasure unit. The IP passes the erasure lamps in a certain speed. The speed depends on the format of the cassette and on the examination type. This information was given by the chip on the cassette, read out at the begin of the cycle.

Web Pages The Software of the digitizer allows access from the Internet to the service level of the machine. The access via a graphic User Interface (ADC web pages) is part of the service concept of MI CSO. The web pages follow the structure of the well-known User Terminal. Access via web pages guarantees a convenient and fast service by making use of standard tools. The usage of different ports for these ways allows working simultaneously with FTP, HTTP, and TelNet. Further information, see chapter 3.2

5.3

Hardware Modification Floppy of Spare Part Spare parts which are sent with a floppy, need to be included in the system via software. The floppy e.g. of the Galvo contains specific production settings and data of the spare part. This information need to be installed after the spare part is mounted in the digitizer. For other spare parts sent with a floppy only the information for the info counter is included. The floppy is put into the floppy drive of the VME-Rack and the installation has to be started ( Service Menu - install from floppy). The information concerning the spare part is integrated in the system.

Calibration Principle There is only one calibration which can be worked out with the ADC Solo in the field. The so called Shading Calibration is responsible for image quality.

7.1

Shading Calibration Inhomogeneities of the light collector (fiber optics) and the photomultiplier require a position dependent calibration of the scan line. This pixel wise line calibration evens out differences in the transmission behavior of the glass fibers by calculation. Each scanned pixel in a line is corrected arithmetically by its corresponding correction value (shading correction). This is done for each of the three speed classes 600, 200, and 75. A number of lines of a flat field image are averaged and scaled to the maximum pixel value. All the lines need to be in a certain range to make the calibration successful, if not the error is displayed at the user terminal.

The calibration curves can be viewed by using a web browser. (see chapter 3.2) Three curves for each format are displayed in one image and distinguished by three different colors.

Figure 36

The y-axis of the coordinate system shows the Scan Average Level (SAL) which is the digital value (gray scale) of a pixel and is one of the criteria for a successful calibration. The x-axis shows the number of pixels.

Safety Regulations for the Laser Beam The ADC Solo is a classification class 1 Laser Product, that makes use of a 35mW laser diode in a housing. In normal operating conditions, when both panels are closed, there can't be any laser radiation outside the unit. It is nevertheless imperative that the local radiation safety regulations regarding the protection of staff against scattered radiation are complied with, if the Digitizer is located in the immediate vicinity of an X-ray room. For laser safety, only open up the right panel as described in the user manual to solve possible cassette or image plate jams. When the panel is removed, the main power supply is automatically disconnected to prevent laser radiation. Do not open the unit and put in the service key in the interlocks , if any parts of the laser unit are uncovered. WARNING

User interventions other than those described in this manual can be hazardous with regard to laser radiation.

The corresponding label is located at the right bottom side of the unit near the type label and on the cover of the optical unit

Repair and Service Safety Guidelines / General Repair Instructions

Avoid direct exposure to laser beam. It is dangerous to look directly into the laser beam. Do not hold any tools into the laser beam (risk of reflection). During any service interventions concerning the optical path the digitizer must be switched off (replacement of galvo, pin diodes or laser). When checking the optical path laser goggles have to be put on (CM+9.9999.1547.0), in case of laser leak. Notice, that the laser goggles provide full protection, transmission is reduced by a factor more than 1,000,000.

1.4

Protective Measures for electronic Components Since there is a frequent problem with electrical components which are destroyed by static discharge, protective measures must be taken to avoid this problem. For the repair on electrical components it is necessary to wear the grounding strap around the wrist and connect the other end of this strap on a position of the frame which is free of lacquer. Be attentive, that the frame is grounded! This grounding strap is available under the spare part number CM+9.9999.0830.0 via LOG-T warehouse in Munich.

General Information

Before usage of Diagnostics Software it is necessary to remove right side panel of digitizer and to put service key in. The Diagnostics Software is a tool which helps to find defective parts in the digitizer in the previously located module / unit. A dialog with requests and questions via the display guides through the test of a module. All components of a module (boards, motors, valves, mechanics…) are checked during a test. If the result is satisfying, the module is working in a normal operating mode. If a problem is detected, the name of the component (like in circuit diagram e.g. GS602 IP-TRANSPORT-BD) where it occurred, is displayed. The spare part number of the probably defective component is displayed as well. No sporadic errors, like bus crashes or bad connections, can be found with Diagnostics Software.

Diagnostics Software does not refresh automatically. Therefore exit program before repairing or replacing components and restart it afterwards!

General Information ADC Solo makes use of parts employing machine specific parameters. These are Laser, Galvo, Photomultiplier, Pin-Diodes. The corresponding spare parts kits comprise the new spare part as well as a floppy disk containing necessary parameters/values/data. The floppy disks are assigned clearly to the spare part and can not be mistaken. After the new part has been installed, the parameters are loaded from floppy drive via service menu of the user terminal. Finally, you are asked to renew the backup. Together with date and counter stamp the serial number of the exchanged part is automatically registered in the info counter file under the item “hardware modification history”. • •

Adjustment of Scanner Position

DD+DIS249.02E

The following is a critical adjustment! Do only carry out if you are used to this procedure. Please contact HE/IMG-GSO before starting this procedure. An adjustment of the scanner position is necessary in cases of changed geometric or material properties of the clamping elements in general. This may cause frequent IP jams in the scan unit. Carry out this adjustment only with digitizers showing this problem frequently!

2.1.1

Adjustment Procedure (1) Prepare a 15 x 30 cm respectively a 18 x 24 cm cassette with an IP inside (2) Remove both side panels and bridge the interlock switch with service key (3) Switch on the digitizer (4) For adjusting the scanner the fastening at the left side of the digitizer has to be modified (see circle in Figure 1 and Figure 2)

Fiber Spots are not on If the fiber spots are not on, the height-adjustment E and the side-adjustment F have to be varied until the fiber spots shine simultaneously. (1) If the laser beam is completely misadjusted (e.g. after the galvo mount has been replaced) turn the height-adjustment screw until one fiber spot turns red. (2) Turn the side-adjustment screw until the second fiber spot turns red. (3) Mount dust cap A.

3.1.2.2

First Fiber Spot goes out again It happens quite often that the first fiber spot goes out again. If this is the case, proceed as follows: (1) Turn the side-adjustment screw F until the second fiber spot turns red. Keep on turning until the second fiber spot appears a second time. (2) Remember the amount of turns between the two control spots and turn the screw half way back. (3) Do the height-adjustment E once again until both fiber spots go on. (4) Mount dust cap A.

Check if there is dust in the scan area and clean it with the scan brush if necessary

Relation between correction factor and glass fiber can be different



Check the image quality again and if it is still inhomogeneous, carry out a calibration

X-ray device causes inhomogeneties

Cannot be solved by an adjustment of the digitizer!

Preparation of Calibration Procedure For the calibration you need a copper filter and an erased image plate, which is dry, clean and immaculate. The cassette with the image plate inside needs not to be identified. For the shading calibration an exposed cassette with 35 x 43 cm size format must be used (for detecting the borders of the IP).

3.2.2.1

Exposure of the Cassette The cassette must be exposed with 20 µGy in total. To achieve a good evenness of the exposure it is recommended to expose two times with 10 µGy by turning the cassette 180° between the first and second exposure.

Dose of 10 µGy can be achieved with: • • • • •

It is possible that the message " not ready" appears more frequently due to network timeouts. In such a case, a retransmission is initiated automatically. There is no need to reset the digitizer. Even the message on the screen does not need to be confirmed explicitly. This came along with the introduction of a new network driver that offers a considerable higher throughput in an ordinary networking environment. Direct ID and "Image queue full" If the digitizer is set to offline mode in the key operator menu and the direct identification mode is selected, the system hangs after all image buffers (10) are full. In heavily loaded networking environments or due to performance restrictions of the Preview/ID-Station, it is possible that the message " not ready" appears more frequently, if both, fast preview and direct identification are enabled. This will initiate a retransmission of the image to the workstation, but there is no need for any user intervention whatsoever. Image loss when power-off immediately (within a few seconds) after the scan. Cassette not marked “erased” when power-off at a certain position during return of IP into the cassette.

Remark: To avoid any formatting, the ‚format‘ program is delivered no more. 'format' would cause a complete loss of the test images.

Direct ID configuration has been enhanced and offers an additional selection to switch off the Direct ID mode. New scanner mechanics with increased scan rolls pressure require a stronger stepper motor. The software is able to handle both motors. The default configuration is ‘Old Small Motor’. The change to ‘New Big Motor’ is done in production with SSCTEST -> Configurations. A new menu entry has been added to install all necessary parameters for a complete scanner: Service -> Install from Floppy -> 11 Complete Scanner. Small and medium sized cassettes are unclamped with higher speed to avoid movement of cassettes and in consequence cassette jams. If cassette detection switch on clamping becomes free while taking IP out of cassette (15 x 30 cm format), cassette is closed, re-clamped and reopened before return of IP. New run-up curves for some stepper motors:

The new SINSTEP firmware SM5_1113.hex is now loaded to all stepper motor nodes. The galvanometer is now set to amplitude 0 immediately after scan to prolong its lifetime. 40 cycles clearing sweep before scan, if amplitude was 0 for more than 45 seconds. The power for the galvanometer control unit is switched off after one hour stand-by, as before. The working time of the laser diode and the photomultiplier as well as the working cycles of the galvanometer are stored in the info counters now. The date of the first entry is stored as well.



At replacement of one of these parts, the referring counter is reset and its old value written to the hardware replacement history.



A few spare-part laser modules may have left the factory with a wrong setting of the jumper J1 on the laser control board inside the laser module. This jumper switches the laser to constant on, which is needed during production, but which reduces the laser lifetime at the installed system. The old software could not detect this problem during self-test. The new software tests for that problem during its start-up self-test. It does not display an error, but makes an entry to the warning table of the info counters.

Error descriptions updated The error file has been updated prior to generating the software. This is done automatically from now on.



Now Flushing NVFs after Modification Writing configuration data via NVF to disk introduces a latency time of estimated 3 - 5 seconds. This means that an immediate power-off after configuration can switch off the system before those values are actually written to disk. Now a change is made, that every time after having changed a NVF, the software flushes volume D:, to avoid loss of data. It must be mentioned, that this solution significantly shortens, but not removes the latency time.
