Safety Information
To the User of This Manual
The user of this manual is directed to read and carefully review the instructions, warnings and cautions contained herein prior to beginning installation or service activities.
While you may have previously installed or serviced equipment similar to that described in this manual, changes in design, manufacture or procedure may have occurred
which significantly affect the present installation or service.
Installation and Environment

Except for installations requiring certification by the manufacturer per federal standards, see that a radiation protection survey is made by a qualified expert in accordance
with NCRP 102, section 7, as revised or replaced in the future. Perform a survey after every change in equipment, workload, or operating conditions which might
significantly increase the probability of persons receiving more than the maximum permissible dose equivalent.
Diagnostic Imaging Systems - Mechanical-electrical Warning

All of the moveable assemblies and parts of this equipment should be operated with care and routinely inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
contained in the equipment manuals.
Only properly trained and qualified personnel should be permitted access to any internal parts. Live electrical terminals are deadly; be sure line disconnects are opened and
other appropriate precautions are taken before opening access doors, removing enclosure panels, or attaching accessories.
Do not under any circumstances, remove the flexible high tension cables from the x-ray tube housing or high tension generator and/or the access covers from the generator
until the main and auxiliary power supplies have been disconnected. Failure to comply with the above may result in serious or fatal bodily injuries to the operator or those
in the area.
Electrical-grounding Instructions
The equipment must be grounded to an earth ground by a separate conductor. The neutral side of the line is not to be considered the earth ground. On equipment
provided with a line cord, the equipment must be connected to properly grounded, three-pin receptacle. Do not use a three-to-two pin adapter.
Diagnostic Imaging Systems - Radiation Warning

X-ray and Gamma-rays are dangerous to both operator and others in the vicinity unless established safe exposure procedures are strictly observed.
The useful and scattered beams can produce serious or fatal bodily injuries to any persons in the surrounding area if used by an unskilled operator. Adequate precautions
must always be taken to avoid exposure to the useful beam, as well as to leakage radiation from within the source housing or to scattered radiation resulting from the
passage of radiation through matter.
Those authorized to operate, participate in or supervise the operation of the equipment must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with the current established
safe exposure factors and procedures described in publications, such as: Subchapter J of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations, "Diagnostic X-ray Systems and Their
Major Components", and the national council on radiation protection (NCRP) no. 102, "Medical X-ray And Gamma-ray Protection For Energies Up To 10 Mev-
equipment Design and Use", as revised or replaced in the future.
Those responsible for planning of x-ray and gamma-ray equipment installations must be thoroughly familiar and comply completely with NCRP no. 49, "Structural
Shielding Design and Evaluation For Medical Of X-rays and Gamma-rays of Energies Up to 10 Mev", as revised and replaced in the future. Failure to observe these
warnings may cause serious or fatal bodily injuries to the operator or those in the area.
Add additional safety information as needed

MX4000/6000 Dual Service Tools User Guide Automatic Calibration
Automatic Calibration
Follow the instructions in the MX4000/6000 Dual Calibration Manual for full automatic calibration.
Corr. Reg. (Corrective Registry)
The purpose of this function is to establish a new Patient ID

for performing manual scans to be used in Data Analysis.
1 Click Corr. Regg.; the Patient ID dialog opens.
2 Type in name and click Register.
3 Click Space to open an information window that
indicates free space on the hard disk in MB or number
of images.
Figure 1:
4 Click Exit to close the dialog.
MX4000/6000 Dual Service Tools User Guide Filtration Image (Sinograph)
Filtration Image (Sinograph)

The Filtration Image application is used to determine if artifacts displayed on images are caused by an improperly
performed or corrupted Phantom Calibration. The application recreates the image with or without selected calibration
data.
Procedure
1 Click Filt.Image; the Sinograph window opens.
Figure 2:
The parameters for selection are described in Table 1.

Table 1:

Filter Choose whether to add filtration parameters to the data or not.
Select which slice of data to be displayed.(A,B, mean of A and B, Difference
Slice A slice/B slice
between A and B)
2 Set Data calibration to NONE. This reconstructs the image without calibration data.
3 Click Confirm. The image opens on the screen (see Figure 3).
The horizontal green cross hair on the image represents the detector number (0–720 from top to bottom).
The vertical green cross hair represents the sampling (1024) from left to right.
Artifacts on the image without the application of calibration data indicate that the cause is due to a hardware or
software problem and not due to a corrupted calibration.
Module Detector
Detector # in Module
Figure 3:
4 To close the image view, right-click on the image and select EXIT (see Figure 3).
5 If there are no artifacts, repeat the procedure and set Data calibration to Sensitive (Air Calibration).
If artifacts appear, we can assume that the problem occurs as a result of Air Calibration.
6 Repeat the procedure using the remaining Data calibration options until artifacts appear.
7 Click Exit to close the Filt.Image dialog.
8 If, after the test, the conclusion is that a specific calibration is the cause of the artifacts, repeat the calibration.
Refer to the MX4000/6000 Dual Calibration Manual for instructions.
MX4000/6000 Dual Service Tools User Guide Channel Mask
Channel Mask

Channel Test, their numbers are
automatically inserted into the Start channel
and End channel fields.
5 From the Operation drop-down list, select Mask and

click Confirm.
Figure 4:
The selected channels are added to the Masked
channel list.
Remove mask the selected channels as follows:

1 Enter the channel number or range in the Start channel and End channel fields.
2 From the Operation drop-down list, select Delete and click Confirm.
The selected channels are removed to the Masked channel list.
MX4000/6000 Dual Service Tools User Guide Scan Evaluation
Scan Evaluation
Scan Evaluation is used when running the Impulse Response and Slice Width tests on the Manual Performance check
(refer to the MX4000/6000 Dual Performance Manual V1.0 for instructions). Starting from Software V1.2 the procedure
is fully Automatic and there is no need for this step.
MX4000/6000 Dual Service Tools User Guide Hardware Test

Figure 5:
Equipment
Enables selection of the desired system component for testing.
Control
There are two Test functions:
• Status - retrieves present status information of the system. The results are listed in the Test Information field at the
bottom of the Hardware Test dialog.
• Command - sends the requested hardware test command via the CAN Bus. The results are listed in the Test
Information field at the bottom of the Hardware Test dialog.
After selecting, click Confirm to execute the function.
No. exposures - produces a report of the number of times the X-ray exposure was activated from system installation or
replacement of X-ray Tube to the present.
Gantry Test
The Gantry test enables manual motion control checks of the rotation and tilt at different parameters.
Figure 6:
Command Command Parameter Parameter Range

Rotation Rotation speed 0.8–10 sec.
Stop rotation Stop Rotor position 0°–360°

Collimator Test
The Collimator test enables manual thickness setting of the:
• A-Plane (Pre-collimator)
• P-Plane (Post-collimator)
The Filtering ruler applies the following:

• Empty (no filter)
• Head
• Body
NOTE Only one component can be tested at one time.
Figure 8:

DAS
The DAS test is a quick method for testing the DAS system determining module failure.
Figure 10:
• Connect ITS (Internal Test Sample) - Select this option and perform a scan. The data sent to the DAS I/O board will
come from Internal Raw data programmed into the DAS boards instead of the scan information passed through the
detectors. If the problem in the data channels still exists, then the problem lies in data channels themselves (DAS
board or DAS motherboard); if the problem disappears, then the problem lies in the detector modules.
• Disconnect ITS - Returns the system to normal scan acquisition
