8.0 Description of the X-ray Detectors
The X-ray Detectors are lightweight and wireless designed for medical and veterinary use. The
X-ray Detector together with the Varex Smart Panel (software is designed for integration into an
X-ray system. The VSP is the interface between the X-ray Detector and the Client PC; such as
control, image acquisition and calibration.
The X-ray Detectors fit into standard bucky trays and the wireless communication enables easy
migration between table and other physical applications.
The wireless access point is the interface between the X-ray Detector and the imaging system and
may be mounted in an equipment enclosure, or it may also be wall or ceiling mounted to
maximize wireless signal strength. A Service Cable is supplied with the 4343W to allow for
set-up of the wireless interface and to retrieve images from the X-ray Detector in case of failed
wireless transmission. A Tether Cable is provided with the 4336W to provide power and
allows operation of the X-ray Detector through a wired interface.
During operation, the X-ray Detector is often draped or bagged to ensure cleanliness and
sterilization. It is manipulated such that the X-ray Detector’s input window is located near, but
on the opposite side of the patient, from the X-ray source.
Figure 1 shows the configuration of the X-ray Detector in the context of the typical overall
imaging system.
Figure 1 Typical Detector Configuration
WARNING For proper operation, X-ray Detector antennas and access point antennas
should be unobstructed.
WARNING Access point should not be installed next to power supply or generator
equipment. Please contact your Varex representative for a list of
approved access points.

9.0 The Detector Configuration File

R EFERENCE M ANUAL
A configuration file will ship with the X-ray Detector. The file is loaded by Varex onto the X-ray
Detector and will contain 1 or more modes. The configuration file is stored in the X-ray
Detector’s non-volatile memory.
The purpose of each mode is to configure the X-ray Detector to achieve optimal performance
during specific imaging procedures. Each mode is a combination of settings, such as; cycle time,
rad or vTrigger, and integration time. The integration time or window exposure time is set
dynamically, see Section 11.9. Refer to document 03236 FP-2032 - Varex Smart Panel Software
Interface for more information on how to dynamically change the integration time.
The X-ray Detector supports Radiographic and vTrigger modes of operation, see Table 10 for a
typical mode example. The sensitivity of the X-ray Detector is optimized to match the X-ray dose
used in each mode.

10.0 System Software
The X-ray Detector deploys the Varex Smart Panel (VSP) architecture. X-ray Detector software is
composed of two parts:
• Detector Software necessary to capture, process, and correct X-ray images (embedded in the
detector).
• The VSP SDK client libraries.
Because the main software is embedded within the X-ray Detector, the only software required on
the workstation is a small set of DLLs that are copied from the DVD to the workstation.
Software interacting with the X-ray Detector make API calls to these SDK libraries to control the
image acquisition process. These libraries manage connections to the X-ray Detector and the
transfer of files from the X-ray Detector to the workstation.
10.1 Radiography Acquisition

Radiographic acquisition is controlled by software. Each acquisition results in multiple frames
(exposed and post-offset). Exposure is initiated by sending the Prepare command followed by
the Trigger API command. When the trigger command is sent, it starts integration.
The integration time is defined in the customer configuration file and may be different for each
mode. APIs can be used to obtain several of the configuration file mode settings.
When trigger is called, the software sends notifications indicating the begin and end of
integration. These signals are used to interface with the X-ray generator. The exposure on
notification indicates that integration has started and exposure can happen. The exposure off
notification indicates that integration has stopped, and the exposure should end. X-ray exposure
must happen between these two events.
As noted, each acquisition is based on at least two frames being read from the detector. The first
readout is the exposed frame which is readout immediately after the integration window. The
second readout is the post-offset frame(s). If corrections are turned on, corrections will be
applied to the exposed frame and a single frame is transferred to the workstation as soon as
possible. When the frame is transferred to the workstation, a Transfer End event is sent to the
workstation indicating that the corrected frame has been delivered to the workstation (see 03236
FP-2032 - Varex Smart Panel Software Interface for more information on acquisition and use of
APIs).
Figure 13 Exposure: Corrected Frames
If corrections are not turned on (i.e. raw frames), multiple frames will be delivered to the
workstation (i.e. uncorrected exposed frame, and the post offset), see Figure 14.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL
Figure 14 Exposure: Raw Frames
10.2 vTrigger Acquisition (AED)

The vTrigger acquisition is controlled by hardware. However, software is used to select a mode
prior to arming the X-ray Detector. With the vTrigger mode selected, vsp_acquisition_prepare()
is called, to arm the X-ray Detector in that mode. vTrigger modes are set up in the detector
configuration file prior to use. These configuration file modes give the OEM the benefit of not
requiring any hardware synchronization with the generator. A vTrigger acquisition mode
utilizes the X-ray Detector’s hardware to sense when X-rays are exposed to the X-ray Detector
(i.e. Automatic Exposure Detection). Once X-rays have been detected, vTrigger automatically
begins integration followed by image readout.
For modes that use vTrigger, only the Prepare command is used to arm the X-ray Detector, but
the Trigger command is not needed since the X-ray Detector is in a vTrigger mode that uses
automatic exposure detection. vTrigger modes will send the same notifications as those in the
radiographic mode (e.g. exposure on, exposure off, transfer end, etc.)
Note The minimum dose to initiate an exposure depends on system integrator

requirements.
The sequences for integration and readout are the same as depicted in Figure 13 and Figure 14.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL
10.3 X-ray Generator Interface Signals
Normally a set of hardware signals are used to interface between the X-ray Detector and the
X-ray generator and hand switch. For example, PREP and REQ are two hand switch signals that
are typically used to indicate the user request for an X-ray exposure. Typically PREP (Prepare)
indicates the user’s input that X-ray exposure is imminent, while REQ (Request) indicates the
user’s input for immediate X-ray exposure. In response to the REQ signal, the X-ray Detector
will indicate the proper time for the X-ray exposure with the EXP_OK (Exposure OK) signal.
To accomplish this task of passing hardware signals to-and-from the detector, VSP provides a
software version of these signals in the API. For X-ray Detectors, the workstation software must
provide the hardware interface to the X-ray generator and hand switch and relay those signals to
the various API calls in the VSP Library. Upon receiving PREP signal, the workstation software
should call the Prepare API function; upon receiving REQ signal, the workstation software
should call the Trigger API function. When exposure on event is received, the workstation soft-
ware should turn on the EXP_OK signal and when exposure off event is received, the workstation
software shall turn off the EXP_OK signal.
Note For interfaces connection, synchronization and timing diagrams information

please reference the Software Interface Specification 03236
FP2032_VarexSmartPanel_SoftwareInterfaceSpecification.pdf.
10.4 SDK Installation

The VSP SDK requires that libvsp.dll and libvsp-zf.dll and Apple's Bonjour package be
installed on the workstation.
Discovery of the VSP detector is simplified also by using Zero-configuration (Zeroconf) net-
working for detection of the detector by the operating system.
10.4.1 SDK Files

The installation of the SDK will copy several items to the workstation:
• The VSP COMM Libraries - libvsp.dll and libvsp-zf.dll
• SDK API Documentation
• Sample Code
• ViVa Test Application
• Third party libraries:
• Bonjour (optional) - used by Zeroconf
Pre-compiled DLLs are provided for customers working with a Microsoft Windows operating
system. Sample code (C#) will also be provided to illustrate the sequence of API calls needed to
acquire X-ray images. This will include sample code for the standard set of APIs as well as usage
of the consolidated API methods. For customers working in other operating environments,
source code for the VSP DLL may be licensed for re-compilation.
It should be noted that corrections files are not stored on the workstation. Corrections and
configuration files are stored on the X-ray Detector.

11.10 X-ray Detector Calibration
X-ray Detector calibration files are stored inside the detector’s non-volatile memory. There are
three calibration files per mode: offset, gain, and defects. Calibration files are used for
corrections during image acquisition.
Note After a calibration, ensure the new calibration files are used by closing and
re-opening the link to the X-ray Detector.
11.10.1 Offset Calibration

Offset calibration compensates for fixed pattern pixel intensity variations in the image associated
with the dark current and electronic offsets. The Offset reference image is an average of a series
of frames acquired without X-ray and referred to as dark fields. Prior to acquiring images, an
offset calibration must be performed in each mode. The Offset calibration file created by this
calibration is used by the corrections module to correct the preview image.
• Offset calibration must not be performed during X-ray.
• The X-ray to digital conversion factor does not change because of calibration.

11.10.3 Gain Calibration

To compensate for non-uniformities in the X-ray Detector, a gain reference image (flat field) is
used by the Corrections module to correct all images. The flat field image must be captured by
the VSP prior to acquiring images. The process of capturing the flat field image is known as gain
calibration.
Note The gain calibration process will include automatically running an Offset
R EFERENCE M ANUAL
calibration to ensure that the detector is properly calibrated.
Gain calibration is based upon the linear response of the X-ray Detector to dose. Normalization is
achieved by applying the flat field image acquired during the gain calibration to all images
corrected by the VSP. Gain calibration should be performed in the range where the detector is
linear.
Flat field images acquired near or exceeding the saturation point will cause normalization
failures with all images acquired until a gain calibration with the correct dose is performed.
Note It is recommended that flat field images be acquired with a median count of
approximately 11000 - 15000.
This range will ensure that gain calibration will meet both the upper and lower dose
requirements under all modes of operation. Dose requirements are determined by the settings of
the generator X-ray source.
To reduce the effects of noise, the average of each pixel in the flat field image is calculated by
accumulating a number of frames into an internal memory buffer, then dividing the sum of each
pixel by the number of frames acquired.
Note Gain calibration requires X-ray dose. Certain precautions must be taken by
the human operator.
The number of calibration frames used during Gain and Offset calibrations can be adjusted
under the Mode Settings pull down menu.
Note We recommend accumulating 32 frames for gain calibration and 8 frames for
offset calibration for optimal image quality.
Note Gain calibration should be performed at least once per year.
R EFERENCE M ANUAL
The actual number of calibration frames used is determined by the system integrator depending
upon their specific performance requirements.
Note ViVA provides the convenience of automatically running Offset Calibration

as part of the gain calibration process.
However, API driven gain calibrations do not automatically run Offset

Calibration. OEM Applications should be sure to run Offset Calibration
prior to gain calibration.

operator can apply X-ray exposure.
Note: The exposure should ideally be at a level and technique
representative of the typical exposure dose for the detector
during procedures.

modes.

15.0 Safety - Electromagnetic Interference
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency (RF) energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to other devices or
may be affected by other equipment in the vicinity. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to other devices or is affected by other equipment, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the measures listed in Section 13.0.
This equipment uses wireless LAN (WLAN) radios for transferring images. The WLAN power
levels and antenna configurations have been tested and certified compliant through specific
absorption rate (SAR) limits set by FCC/IC Canada (Less than 1.6W/kG) with separations as
small as 0 cm between the panel antennas and human tissue. While compliant, it is still
recommended to reduce exposure when possible by:
• Positioning subject to be X-rayed away from the antennas (this also helps reduce image
transfer time).
• Removing the X-ray Detector promptly when X-ray exposure is complete.
The X-ray Detector does meet the IEC 60601 Safety definition for essential performance.
However, some degradation of the image acquired and displayed is acceptable (e.g. small
amount of noise, pixelation, video artifact, etc.) if the degradation would not affect the diagnosis
or treatment. Images acquired shall be normal when the immunity interference stops. May
require User intervention to clear an error message or continue operation.
