■ Precautions when Reading Images

1 Safety Information

• Reading of images on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) monitor should be carried out at the responsibility of a user who is conscious of the intended use of the images and inherent differences from film-based diagnostics. • Verify the information that accompanies images and use it to aid in their reading. Pay particular attention to patient information. • When reading an image, be sure to verify the image flip information (front or back) and the actual exposure condition of patient. • Configure the image processing parameters for the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to suit display images. Improperly configured image processing parameters could make correct image reading difficult. • Adjust the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to display images in a proper size. The FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) may subject original images to interpolation processing (display processing) to enable you to view the images in an optional display size. As a result, images displayed in an improper size may not impart their intrinsic information. • Multi-frame images may not be displayed in the set frame rate in case of cine play mode. Confirm images after confirming the display of measured value of the frame rate.

● Monitor-related Precautions

• Luminance and contrast can be changed depending on the monitor types but never change them. If it changed, an image may not be verified properly. • Use the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) with proper screen contrast (high/low) settings. Improper screen contrast (high/low) settings could make image reading difficult. • Before reading images on FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), make sure that the monitor is set at the right angle for viewing. If the monitor is not set at the right angle, adjust it. An improperly angled monitor could make it difficult to read images properly. • Do not change the display setting (for portrait or landscape) of the LCD monitor that was set at time of installation. If you need to change the display orientation setting, contact our authorized dealer.

■ Precautions when Managing Data

1 Safety Information

• Print and retain original images on a film (called an “original film”). The hard disk or disk mounted on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) unit is not intended for permanent storage of diagnostic images.

● Media Management

• Do not leave disks for the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in dusty places, hot or damp places, places exposed to direct sunlight or in places that are subjected to sharp temperature differences. • Duplicate (copy) every disk to which images are stored. Check disks for consistency by following the instructions found in “13.13 Media Consistency Check”. Images stored to the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) hard drive or disks could be lost as a result of equipment or media faults. Further, some characteristics of a disk could make images stored on the disk inaccessible for reading or writing if the disk has deteriorated over an extended period of usage, even though it has been stored properly. An improperly stored disk could make images stored on it inaccessible for reading or writing within months. Neither FUJIFILM Corporation nor the vendor assumes any liability or responsibility for any loss of images and data.

● Image Data Management

• Images that have been saved as “Processed” being selected can be reloaded into the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), but cannot be printed on a film (optional). • Before deleting images on FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), make sure that there is no problem if the images are deleted. Although FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) allows you to delete images, if you delete required images by mistake, you would have to make a re-exposure of the subject and recapture the images.

■ Precautions when Processing Image • Evaluation of the results of measurement performed on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) is your responsibility. Images used for measurement on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) may contain errors in relation to the actual length of the subject, depending on how the images have been captured and other conditions. • When specifying coordinates on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) monitor, specify them correctly. Incorrectly specified coordinates will deliver incorrect measurement results.

1-10

FCR PRIMA Console Reference Guide

897N101440B

■ Precautions when Exposing

1 Safety Information

• When exposing an area where it is difficult to distinguish the exposed direction and the symmetric body part, mark it using markers for example to avoid the confusion of the exposed direction and body part. • Erase manually a remaining image on an imaging plate exposured at large X-ray dose. Incomplete erasing of an image on the imaging plate could make image reading difficult.

■ Precautions when Saving Data ● Common

• When importing image or study data into FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) (optional) or saving from FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to media such as CD, be very careful to check the image or study data and patient information.

● Media

• Do not use the disks that are dedicated to image storage on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) for any other use. Images stored on those disks would be made inaccessible for browsing. • Use disks that meet the requirements listed in “2.7 Before Using Disks”. • Be careful not to confuse the DVD disk with the CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI because the CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI to be given to the patient is created using the DVD drive to create DVD disks. When creating a CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI, write information (patient name, patient ID, birth date, disk creation date, study date, facility name) on the front of the CD-R or DVD-R disk in order to distinguish it from DVD+RW/-RW disk. When giving the created disk for PDI to the patient, advise the patient that the contents of the disk is for reference. • Do not handle the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in a Windows Explorer operation, unless otherwise specified in this Reference Guide. If you eject a disk in a Windows Explorer operation, the data stored on the disk could be corrupted as a consequence of the disk having been ejected while images were being written to or read from it, or your application might not be able to eject it. Further, when you browse through information stored on the disk, the information might take time before it shows up.

● NAS

• When the caution about lack of HDD space is displayed, add NAS. In such cases, consult our authorized dealer. • When an error of NAS is displayed in the indicator for Event, consult our authorized dealer.

■ Precaution when Outputting • Be careful not to confuse the patient when printing several images on a film for several patients and reading of images on the film should be carried out at the responsibility of a user who is conscious of the intended differences from the image quality by displayed image size. • Be careful that the height displays and outputs in meters, and the weight displays and outputs in kilograms.

Types of study image

2-4

Explanations

Unprocessed FCR study images

X-ray images created by FUJIFILM CR equipment have the FUJIFILM-unique image processing parameters added on the image data. Unprocessed FCR images are images on which only the parameters were adjusted to enable image editing such as changing gradation (contrast or density) and reversing the display for obtaining a better view on screen or film, while keeping the original image data as is. Therefore, the original images before editing can be restored. These images cannot be displayed in the DICOM viewer.

Processed FCR study images

X-ray images created by FUJIFILM CR equipment have the FUJIFILM-unique image processing parameters added on the image data. The Processed FCR images are images whose original data was processed along with the parameter change. Therefore the original images cannot be restored. Images can be viewed in the DICOM viewer.

Other than FCR study images

X-ray images loaded from a DICOM study disk created in another facility.

Before Using Disks

This section describes precautions in handling disks in FCR PRIMA Console, compatible disk types, drive types, and how to manage.

2 Product Overview

■ Precautions

● Disk Management

● Precaution in Handling Disks

Before using disks, read instructions on the disk package.

● Precautions in Handling Files Stored to Disks

• Do not save new files to a disk on which other files are already stored. • Do not delete, move or modify files stored on the disks.

Failure to do so could result in data unknown to the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) or result in a failure to save data or loss of saved data.

● Compatible Disk Type

Non-cartridge disks can be used with the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL). • Single-sided 4.7GB • UDF 1.5 format or UDF 2.01 format

• 8-cm disks cannot be used. • Unformatted disks cannot be used. To use an unformatted disk with the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), format the disk in the “Disk” window of “Indicator”. Switch disks : “13.8 ■Replacing Disks”

● Ejecting Disks

Do not force the ejection of a disk by pressing the disk drive EJECT button. When a disk needs to be ejected, perform in the “Disk” window of “Indicator”. Remove disks : “2.8 ■Setting up Disks”

If you use an application other than the FCR PRIMA Console to eject the disk, the PC may freeze or the disk may become invalid.

2-16

FCR PRIMA Console Reference Guide

897N101440B

Before using a new disk, you are advised to put the save start date on the label seal. For disks that are not used for further writing, enter the label name (media identification number) in the label seal. You should also put the save end date on the label seal. Write protection : “13.8 ■Setting Disks as “Write Enabled” or “Write Disabled””

● Windows Explorer

Do not attempt to access the disk drive from Windows Explorer. The drive might take a considerable time to access.

● FCR PRIMA Console Shutdown

Do not turn off the FCR PRIMA Console while writing to or reading from the disk is in progress (with the drive lamp illuminating).

● Disk Identification

When a disk is inserted in the disk drive, it will take about 30 seconds before it is identified to the FCR PRIMA Console.

■ Disk Types FCR PRIMA Console uses different types of disks for use. Disk type can be classified into “Image storage disks”, “Work disks”, “Other disks” and “PDI disks” depending on its use.

Disks intended for image storage are called storage disks. These disks are used to manage images. FCR PRIMA Console remembers which images are stored on which storage disks. Even though images are deleted from the FCR PRIMA Console database, FCR PRIMA Console can still import the copies of the same images from the storage disks.

• As the free space of the PC falls below a certain limit, stored images are automatically deleted from the FCR PRIMA Console database in sequence in ascending time order of the browsed studies. • With images imported from disks, you cannot: - Rotate or reverse the images, - Save FCR image processing parameters, - Edit markers, - Update study information, and - Verify or suspend studies.

Studies that are deleted automatically when the number of studies stored in the FCR PRIMA Console database exceeds a certain limit set on FCR PRIMA Console, studies stored on a storage disk are automatically deleted from the oldest study browsed. Once studies are removed from the FCR PRIMA Console database, they no longer appear in the “Main” window.

These disks are used to temporarily save images from the FCR PRIMA Console system for such purposes, such as the provision of images to other facilities and collection of images depicting various diseases. It saves DICOM-compatible format disks. FCR PRIMA Console also treats disks storing images provided by other facilities and DICOMcompatible format disks storing images captured by the FCR system as work disks.

2 Product Overview

● Image Storage Disks

● Work Disks

FCR PRIMA Console does not remember which images are stored on which work disks. FCR PRIMA Console treats the images imported from the work disk as unrelated images with those in the FCR PRIMA Console system.

● Other Disks

These disks are used to store images in the JPEG, bitmap or DICOM format for presentations and purposes alike. FCR PRIMA Console cannot display the names of such disks and the amount of available space on them.

● PDI Disks

CD-R or DVD-R disk for providing study result images to the patient for diagnostic cooperation with other facilities. Save to PDI disks: “7.7 Saving to PDI Disks”

Studies which will not be deleted are: • To be verified, • Being displayed in the “Image Viewer”, • Printing or being saved, or • Locked. Image data and study information associated with the images are stored on a storage disk, thereby studies can be backed up in the FCR PRIMA Console database by “Disk Restoration”. Restore Disks: “13.9 ■Restoring Information in Disks to Database” If too many studies have been registered and there are no studies that can be deleted, a message displays. Delete unnecessary studies from the “Main” window. “12.4 ■Deleting Studies”
