To choose/create a prefix

For emergency registration, the patient’s default name is prefix + date + sequence 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.

To set the default procedure

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 u p from
the sleep mode.

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

2. Close exam, ensure that no study is in processing;

3. From System Menu select Detector Calibration item;

4. Calibration window displays as the following figure:

5. 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.

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

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.

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

8. 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 7.

If you reject the image, the calibration panel displays. Correct the problem and return to
step 6.

9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 until you complete the calibration sequence.

10. 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.

If you want to discard the accumulated calibrations, click Abort Calibration button.

Click Close button on the right bottom of the window to quit the calibration.
