6 1 General Information

1.1 Product-specific Remarks

1.1.1 Safety Information

 When carrying out the work steps and checks, the product-specific safety information
contained in the documents and the general safety information must be observed.

1.1.2 Protective Measures

n Prior to performing any activity in the generator, switch it off at the power OFF switch
on the D160 board.

 WARNING
With the generator switched off, there is still line power present at the T1 trans‐
former D160 switch-on circuit. After switching off the generator, there is still ap‐
prox. 600 V DC voltage present for the inverter!
 This is indicated by LEDs V35 and V36 on the D110 and LED V89 that is lit up
on the D220. The voltage dissipates within approx. 1.5 minutes to 0 V; the
LEDs go off at approx. 30 V.

n To switch power off to all parts of the system (generator and connected components),
set the system switch to the OFF position.
n To prevent unintentional triggering of high voltage or radiation, set the SS switch (S1)
on the D100 to OFF (no control of the inverter).
n Install or remove components only with the generator switched off; when doing this,
observe ESD guidelines.

 WARNING
Checks and adjustments that need to be performed under X-radiation are identi‐
fied with the radiation warning symbolx.
 Take appropriate radiation protective measures while performing these work
steps.

5.6 Iontomat Sensitivity

5.6.1 General Information

Three different exposure steps (BSt) corresponding to three different film-screen combi‐
nations (H, U, D) can be programmed at the generator.
P n
The screen and the film intended for it must be recorded in the IQ Test Certificate for
each exposure step with the data:
- Sensitivity, S
- Theoretical dose requirement, KS
- Minimum resolution, RGr
- Color sensitivity of the films and screens

 Make sure that only films for the light color for which the screen is sensitize determined
are used (green sensitive film for green screen, blue for blue screen).

P n
The sensitivity, S (speed), specified by the manufacturer must be recorded for each
film-screen combination.
- The sensitivity of a film-screen combination is defined according to ISO 9236 as the
quotient of 1000 μGy and the air kerma (dose) KS required to achieve an optical
1000µGy
S = -----------------------
KS
density (blackening) of 1 above base fog.

P n
With a known sensitivity S (see also "Appendix: Sensitivity of Film-Screen Systems,")
1000µGy
K S = -----------------------
K
calculate the theoretical required dose, KS, and document this:
- A minimum resolution RGr in LP/mm is assigned to each required dose KS, i.e. the
higher the required dose is for a film-screen combination, the higher the resolution
that must be reached in order to justify the increased dose.
The particular minimum resolution, RGr, must be taken from the illustration for each
film-screen combination used.

Fig. 14:

KB = Dose requirement of the film-screen combination per DIN 6867

RGr = Minimum resolution of the film-screen combination per DIN 6868
S (Speed) = Sensitivity of the film-screen combination (ISO 9236)

 There are no international, uniform regulations regarding use of the film-screen combi‐
nations; national regulations (e.g §16 RöV) must be observed in the particular country.

5.6.2 Checking the Chamber and Measuring Field Selection

Perform the following checks for all connected IONTOMAT detectors and their measuring
fields (dominants):

5.6.2.1 Detector Selection

n Select the particular IONTOMAT work station (unit) at the generator deck.
n Open the collimator at the unit so that the measuring fields for the IONTOMAT cham‐
bers are fully exposed.

n SS ON.
X Trigger an exposure (at the 73 kV default value).
n

 Required: An immediate switch-off must take place; if there is incorrect cham‐

ber selection or if there is a cable break, ERROR 550 appears (dose monitoring).

5.6.2.2 Measuring Field Selection

n At the generator or at the unit, select a measuring field for the IONTOMAT chamber.
n Cover the measuring fields that are not selected on the IONTOMAT chamber (e.g. with
a lead apron).
X Trigger an exposure:
n

 Required: An immediate switch-off must take place.

X Select one of the covered measuring fields and trigger an exposure:
n

 Required: The exposure must take a log time or ERROR 550 must be displayed.

If measuring field selection takes place at the unit (Configurate: Site Structure: Edit Sys‐
 tem"), all measuring fields will be dark (touchscreen console) when the generator is
switched ON at the generator console - only with KK systems!!!

5.6.3 Determining the Optical Density

 Tables can be found in the chapter, "Sensitivity of the Film-Screen Systems" from which
the values can be determined.

X n
For all screens used and work stations, make test exposures at 81 kV, small focus, 80%
using 20 ± 0,5 cm and 5 ± 1 cm water (≥ 18 x 24 cm film format) and check the film
density of each:
The films must have the optical density that the customer desires. If there is no specif‐
ic customer requirement, adjust to a net optical density, DN = 1 (density of 1.0 + 0.2
above base fog).
n If necessary, correct the programmed sensitivity values (connector position) under
XCS SSW / Components / Polydoros / Adjustment / Iontomat Sensitivity.
For exposures with the side measuring fields, the difference may not exceed ± 0.2 of
the optical density in the range of the measuring fields.

5.6.3.1 Iontomat Adjustment

n Select Iontomat Sensitivity in XCS SSW / Components / Polydoros / Adjustment /.
n Select the detector to be adjusted.
n Determine and program the basic sensitivity required for the film-screen combinations
being used.
n Determine and program the delay per the system-specific object path.

5.7.8 Cutoff Dose

The cutoff dose must be measured at each application unit for IONTOMAT P and for PLA‐
NI-IONTOMAT for all exposure steps (screen) used.
Test Conditions:
n Exposure parameters: 81 kV, small focus, 80% power; middle measuring field
n Move the scatter radiation grid into the beam path.
n SID to be set: OT units: 115 cm; UT units: max. distance (no Distator); record the SID
set.
n Make the exposures.
If exposures using a different kV value (e.g. 125 kV at the BWS) are made exclusively
at one work station, record the kV value.
Procedure:
n Insert the 2.1 mm precision copper filter into the beam path:
OT units at the collimator; UT units on the tabletop, if the collimator is not accessible.

The dosimeter must be switched on for 15 minutes prior to beginning measurement and

 then must be calibrated. No additional filtering may be selected at the collimator.

Set the density correction to 0 ± exposure points.

n Insert the dose measurement chamber into the cassette holder and collimate slightly
larger than the chamber size.
X n
Trigger an exposure.
n Measure the cutoff dose, KB and record it.
n Take the dose measurement chamber out of the cassette holder and in its place, insert
a 18x24 cm (8"x10") or 24x30 cm (10"x12") cassette without film.

X n
Repeat the exposure and record the mAs value displayed at the generator.
n If the measuring location KB in the image receptor plate for the dose measurement
chamber is not accessible, measure the transmission dose KT and covert it to the im‐
age receptor dose KB using the following formula.
Fig. 20:

K T × 0 ,94
K B = ------------------------
m
Record both dose values, (KT and KB).
- The dose, KT is measured on the tabletop for OT units; with UT units, on the back
wall of the spotfilm device.
- The factor 0.94 takes the radiation attenuation of the dose measuring chamber into
consideration.
- The correction factor, m, takes all attenuation layers (grid, IONTOMAT chamber,
etc.) between the patient and ht image receptor plane into consideration.
- The correction factor, m (equipment attenuation factor), can be found in the Unit
Test Certificate for the particular application unit.
n Compare the measured cutoff dose values, KB with the film-screen combination being
used with the required dose KS that was recorded.
n Admissible difference:
Fig. 21:

K B ≤ 2 ,5 × K S;  K = ----------------------
1000µGy 
-
 S S 
Maintenance and Service
n During maintenance work or in a service situation, the function of the automatic ex‐
posure control can be easily and quickly checked using what is called the "Indirect
Dose Control".
n Insert the 2.1 mm precision radiation filter into the beam path.
n Insert a cassette without film into the cassette holder and collimate to the cassette
size.
n Set all exposure parameters and test conditions listed in the Test Certificate.
X n
Trigger exposure and compare the mAs value displayed at the generator or measured
using the mAs meter with the value recorded in the Test Certificate.
n If the recorded value is reached to an accuracy of ± 10%, nothing in the automatic ex‐
posure control has changed. If KB is > 2.5 KS, check film processing and the film mate‐
rial being used. It can also be assumed that the screens are a source of error or can be
mechanically worn.

5.7.9 Resolution Power

The resolution power must be determined for each film-screen combination.

12.10 CSPSAX IR/C
 POLYDOROS SX Adjustment 5 43

Test Conditions:
n Small focus, 80% power; middle measuring field; 81kV.
n SID: OT units = 115 cm; UT units, max. distance (no Distator)
n 1.2 mm Cu pre-filter, OT units at the collimator; UT units on the tabletop, if the colli‐
mator is not accessible.
n Place the lead strip test outside the IONTOMAT measuring field:
OT units on the tabletop, UT units on the back wall of the spotfilm device.
Procedure:
X n
Trigger an exposure with every film-screen combination recorded in the IQ Test Certif‐
icate.
n Determine the effective optical resolution using a magnifier (at least 6x magnifica‐
tion) on a light box and record the result.
n The minimum resolution RG for each film-screen combination must reach the mini‐
mum resolution recorded in the IQ Test Certificate.
n If the minimum resolution is not reached, check the screen for damage and for soiling
and the cassette for correct flattening of the screen.

5.7.10 Checking Grid Blur

A check must be performed for every application unit with a movable grid, at which expo‐
sure time, tg, grid stripes can no longer be detected on the film.
Test Conditions:
n Small focus
n 80% power
n Middle measuring field
n Do not insert a filter into the beam path.
n SID = grid focusing distance or the next possible SID
Procedure:
n Cassette (if possible, with multiple subdivisions) without film into the cassette holder.
Adjust to the subdivided format.
X n
Trigger an exposure at 40 kV and read the exposure time at the generator. Using sev‐
eral exposures at increasingly higher kV values, determine at which kV values expo‐
sure times of approx. 6, 8, 10, 12 ms, etc. result.
X n
Insert cassettes with fine-resolution screens in the cassette holder, if possible select
multiple subdivisions, and trigger exposures one after the other using the determined
kV values (switch times).
n Use a magnifier on the light box to determine at which switch time grid stripes can no
longer be detected on the film. These switch times must be recorded with the data for
the screen that is used, as well as the kV value.

5.7.11 Test Exposure

Measure the dose behind a defined radiation absorber.
n Set the following values:
- 81 kV
- 32 mAs
- Small focus, 80%
n Center the detector for the dose meter in the beam.
n Remove all selectable filters.
n Measure the distance between the bottom edge (cross hair) of the collimator and the
detector mount (tabletop) to exactly 70cm. If this distance cannot be reached, set to
the next possible value and record the value reached.
n Collimate the radiation field close to the edge of the detector, but make sure that the
entire detector is in the radiation field.
n Insert a radiation absorber between the tube unit and the detector, close to the tube
unit.
Preferably, insert the 2.1 mm Cu precision filter in the bottom filter rail of the collima‐
tor.
X n
Trigger an exposure and make a note of the dose reached.

5.8 Voltage Response Correction

X Make test exposures at 60 kV and 125 kV using 20 cm water for each screen used and
n

check the film density of each exposure.

The film density at 60kV and 125kV must match the film density at 81kV (Section
"Checking the Film Density).
The difference in density can be
between Dopt (81 kV) - Dopt (60 kV) ≤ 0.2
Dopt (81 kV) - Dopt (125 kV) ≤ 0.2 of the optical density.
n Select the Voltage Response Corr. in XCS SSW / Components / Polydoros / Adjust‐
ment /.
n Select the corresponding detector type.
n Determine the correction values for the configured film-screen combination and enter
this.

Value range < 81 kV: 0...13

≥ 81 kV: - 13.. 0

 The data in the XCU can be updated with "Transfer Value" and control exposures can be
made without having to exit the SSW.

n Exit the window with OK.

Correction curves 1...13 for the lower kV range (40...81 kV) and correction curves
-1...-13 for the upper kV range (81...150 kV) are displayed in the following illustration


and the corresponding value table. From this it is possible to read out what change in
exposure points or in density results when there is a switch to a different correction
curve.
A change of 1 exposure point results in a change in density of approx. Δ S = 0.25.

The drift measurement is relative to the integrator output of the U/F converter, i.e., if the
SWR is ON and the threshold voltage of 0 V is reached, the output voltage will be set to
1,5 ± 0,3 V.

7.3.1.3 Causes and Corrective Measures for Drift and Hum Voltage Values that are too High

Undefined switch times and malfunctions in IONTOMAT operation can be caused by di‐
rectly laying the IONTOMAT cables along with the power line and high voltage cables in

 the cable duct.

The IONTOMAT cable must be a minimum of 10 cm away from the signal and power ca‐
bles. The IONTOMAT cable may not be laid in loops.

Insufficient insulation of the IONTOMAT chambers.

 Remedy: See ”Connecting the Detectors” in the Generator or System Installation
Instructions.
Disturbances over the IONTOMAT cable.
 Remedy: Check how the entire cable is laid. If needed, replace the IONTOMAT ca‐
ble.

Only with Multiplier Operation:

If the drift or hum is too high, it can be caused by the following:
- Multiplier incorrectly connected to the base.
- Multiplier cable shielding defective.

100 12 Appendix, Sensitivity of the Film-Screen Systems

12.1 General Information

The sensitivity, S, of a film-screen system is defined according to DIN 6867 as the quo‐
tient of 1000 mGy and the air kerma (dose), KS required to achieve an optical density
(blackening) of 1 ,+ 0.2 above base fog.
 S = 1000 mGy / KS
If the sensitivity, S, is known, the dose, KS, can be calculated:
 KS = 1000 mGy / S
In the following tables, the approximate sensitivity values, S", for a selection of intensifier
screens from different manufacturers in combination with blue and green sensitive stand‐
ard X-ray film (sensitivity factor F = 1) are summarized. Another table provides the sensi‐
tivity factors, F, for a selection of X-ray films. From the data in these two tables, calcula‐
tion of the sensitivity number, S, for a film-screen system is very easy to perform: All that
is needed is to multiply the sensitivity S" listed on the film by the sensitivity factor of the
film, F.
 S = S´ x F
The values that are obtained should be viewed as reference values. The most important
reasons for differences are production variations (particularly with the film) and changed
development conditions.

13.1 Selective Dominant Measurement (SDM)

 Not used for the Artis U!

13.1.1 General Information

SDM (Selective Dominant Measurement) is a multi-field measuring system to determine
the starting brightness of the image intensifier for all indirect techniques (fluoroscopy,
DSA, DFR).
A PDA (Photo Diode Array) is used as the detector that in principle takes over the function
of the multiplier. The PDA is comprised of individual segments that are switched together
as ADC measuring fields.
The measuring fields can also be selected parallel and are comparable to Iontomat meas‐
uring fields. In addition, there is a round measuring field available that can be combined
with other measuring fields.
The size of the measuring fields are changed depending on the zoom.

13.1.2 Checking the Size of the PDA

13.1.2.1 Requirements
n The television system and DFR system must be in operation and the TV camera must
be centered.
n Select I.I. full format at the unit.
n SS OFF.
n Highlight the brightness/contrast adjuster on the monitor and disengage the latching
mechanism.
n Switch on Fluoro with the footswitch and leave it switched on for the following steps.
n Remove the cap on the light distributor.
n D100, set the S1 to "Service" in the camera adapter/light distributor (PDA is illumina‐
ted).
n Switch fluoro OFF.
n D100, set the S1 to "Normal".
n Change the brightness and contrast on the monitor until the PDA is visible; if needed,
save the LIH image and change windowing and edge enhancement on the DFR sys‐
tem.
n Measure the size of the PDA as shown in ( Fig. 54 Page 108) and compare the value
to table 1.

If the size of the PDA is not within tolerance, proceed as follows:

n Loosen the PDA set screw on the optics.
n D100, switch S1 ON (SS OFF)
n Switch fluoro ON with the footswitch.
Adjust the PDA size per table 1 by turning the optics (plastic ring).
n Retighten the set screw.

13.1.3 Checking the Selected ADC Measuring Field

Prerequisite
n Dose rate must be adjusted; for this, see chapter: "Adjustment" / "Dose Rate"
n Select the left, rectangular measuring field at the unit.
n Switch fluoro ON with the footswitch.

Checking the Measuring Field Device on the Monitor
n Select I.I. full format and the octagonal measuring field at the unit.
n Make the PDA visible as described previously.
n Mark the width and center of the octagonal measuring field.
n Briefly switch fluoro ON with the footswitch (SS OFF) until the measuring field from
the FLUOROSPOT appears.
n The width and position of the appearance must coincide with the marks. Admissible
difference of the size and position:

for the 40 HDR is 1.4 cm

for the 33 HDR is 1.8 cm

n The size of the appearance is adjustment using the Fluorospot System Configuration
in Mask 6, "Measurement field scale factor".
n The position of the field that appears cannot be changed.
