Overview

From System Menu, you can perform advanced operation concerning account
management, emergency setting, statistic and device control etc. Although these
functions are out of the examining workflows, they do have relatively great effect upon the

number. This prefix can indicate it is a patient of emergency or the patient’s corporation
for physical examination. You can choose, add or delete the prefix.

To add a prefix: input text in the field under prefix label, and then click New button, this
prefix is added to the Patient ID Prefix list.

To delete a prefix: select one item from Patient ID Prefix list and then click the Delete
button, you will see this prefix is deleted.

Calibrate the Detector

To ensure image quality, it is recommended to do detector calibration every two weeks.

NOTE: Calibration must be performed at least half an hour after system startup or power up
from the sleep mode.

1. Ensure everyone is out of the X-ray room.

2. From System Menu select Detector Calibration item;

3. Calibration window displays as the following figure:

Figure 9: Calibration window

The panel displays instructions for how to set the technique settings and take
exposures for the calibration. Click the Begin Calibration button, to start
calibration sequence.

4. Change the technique settings, follow the recommended value in your calibration
panel.

Figure 10: Perform Calibration

NOTES: You should reject an image if it exhibits any edge cut-off due to collimation or
misalignment or if there is any artifact from debris or obstructions. Due to the
diverse characteristic of detector, it is necessary for your system to acquire
calibration images in different doses: high, medium, low. And for each dose,
accumulate several images to gain an approximately normal value. You should
follow the instruction strictly during the entire calibration procedure.

5. Take an exposure. The Calibration window with the flat field image displays.

6. Compare the average pixel value of the image with the recommended one, click
the Accept button if they are close, and otherwise click the Reject button.

If you accept the image, calibration runs. The calibration panel displays the
instruction for next exposure, Go to step 4.

If you reject the image, the calibration panel displays. Correct the problem and
return to step 5.

7. Repeat steps 4 through 7 until you complete the calibration sequence.

8. Once you finish the calibration sequence, a dialogue box will prompt you whether
to accept this calibration sequence, Click Save Calibration button to save this
calibration result.
