1.2 DUET Overview

1.2.1 Brief Product Description


The DUET is a high-resolution digital imaging system for Digital Spot Imaging. It is
designed to replace conventional photo spot film techniques. The system is based on
a Pentium workstation running Windows as the operating system.
The DUET system is based on Flat Panel Detector (FPD), with acquisition
resolutions of up to 2880x2880 pixels per image.
The max frame rate is 30fps and the images are acquired by a 14/16 bits
(16,384/65,536 gray levels) FPD.
Real time and post processing techniques such as computerized window, black &
white inversion, edge enhancement, subtraction and more, enable the operator to
bring-up diagnostic details difficult to see using conventional non-digital techniques.
Large image sets can be efficiently reviewed and prepared for filming using the
DUET advanced image manipulation capabilities.
The system displays are high-resolution monitors with 1920x1080 pixel resolution.
The DUET system has large memory capacity and can be used as an archive for the
medical test results, while DICOM is also supported.

1.2.2 Applications
Main fields of application of the DUET are:
• Routine Fluoroscopy Studies (general fluoroscopy, Angiography).
• General Radiographic Examinations.
• Urology examinations.
• ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography).
• Gastrointestinal (GI) examinations.
• Peripheral Angiography studies.

The MPU is a high performance computer based on Intel x86 Processor. In
addition there are 2 image Hard Disks arranged as MIRROR RAID1. The
operating system is Windows 7.
Four dedicated THALES designed and manufactured PCI boards are assembled in
the MPU.
o The ALLEGRO (Room Control Board) board interfaces the digital video from
FPD and performs some real time processing and temporary stores data.
o The ACCORD (Processing and Display board) board adds some processing
capabilities and converts the digital data to analog video for display.
o An additional small board, VIVACE (Real Time Edge Enhancement Board)
assembled on the ACCORD board for more processing capability.
o Taiko 1 card – Dap connection and remote On/Off with RCU
o Taiko 2 card – Communication with Generator (RS-232) and an optional
Keypad

In addition there is standard PCIexpress board assembled:


o Dual port LAN card – one for network communication for the diagnostic
Table and second for connection to WAP access point

The MPU manages the DUET activities by dedicated SW. Input commands/data
can be received from the integral work station (touch screen) mouse and keyboard
or from the “external world” e.g. from the generator trough RS232 channel, Table
trough CAN bus communication.
The analog video that is generated at the MPU (ACCORD) is transmitted to the
IRM. The second IRM (Reference, high performance) is connected to the VIVACE
processing board.
The MPU has a high rate fiber optic communication channel with the Room
Control Unit (RCU). Through this channel the SW controls the activation of
equipment in the X-rays room.

The FPU has three major functions. It supplies the ACPP/PU with AC voltage,
supplies the FPD with accurate 24VDC and controls logic operations such as turn-
on, turn-off powers according to SW/HW commands and temperature values.

There are two FPU models:


- 84FPU01000 is the original model. It includes RS422 serial communication
with the MPU and it measures the FPD temperature.
- 84FPU01100 replaces the original FPU. Its HW is much simpler, and it
does not have RS422 and temperature measurement. The communication
with the MPU is done through simple I/O with RCU (RCU has fiber
communication with the MPU). The temperature measurement is done in
the ACPP and transferred to MPU by its communication.

3.6 Modes of Operation


In General the DUET supports 3 modes of operation:
1. STAND BY
2. FLUORO
i) FL (Continuous Fluoro)
ii) PFL (Pulsed Fluoro)
3. PHOTOSPOT
i) DR (Digital Radiography)
ii) DA (Digital Angiography)
iii) DSA (Digital Subtracted Angiography)
iv) RAD (General Radiography)
Note: DA/DSA not used in Duet FL configuration

3.6.1 Stand By
Default mode. This mode applies when none of the foot/hand switches are activated.

Board & Signals Description 3-34


THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

3.6.2 Fluoroscopy

3.6.2.1 Continuous Fluoroscopy (CF)


The DUET enters this mode when the Fluoro switch is asserted PF mode = 0 and
ends this mode when Fluoro switch is released.
Fluoro switch assertion generates FLREQ “active” to DUET RCU_IO then sends
interrupt FLREQ to software.
When all conditions are met, DUET system returns acknowledge FLGNT to host
system and start to integrate from FPD.
Fluoro switch released; generates FLREQ “inactive” to DUET.
RCU_IO generates stop interrupt upon Debounced FLREQ inactive.
Software, upon stop interrupt requests, disables FLGRT and INTEGRATES outputs.
If the Radiography Hand/Foot Switch is depressed during Fluoro foot switch,
Fluoroscopy is aborted and the system enters the selected radio mode.

3.6.2.2 Pulse Fluoroscopy (PF)


Before entering this mode the user should select Pulsed Fluoro (PF) option and the
desired PF Rate.
The DUET enters this mode when the Fluoro switch is asserted and ends this mode
when Fluoro foot switch is released.
In addition to the continuous Fluoro handshake signals, the DUET outputs a PF
Trigger Pulse that triggers the generator at the requested rate status. The system will
respond to changes in the PF rate status at all times.

3.6.3 Photospot (DR, DA, DSA, RAD)


The DUET system enters this mode when PREPREQ is activated (usually when first
step of double step Hand switch is asserted) and ends when PREPREQ is negated.
RCU_IO generates PREP interrupt upon PREPREQ.
EXPREQ activation (usually second step of Hand switch assertion) generates
EXPREQ interrupt from RC_IO to software. Software responds with EXPACK
triggering the generator for an X-ray pulse. Upon receiving the generator feedback
the DUET system will initiate light integration to the FPD, the FPD transfers the
frame data to the ALLEGRO board, then it is sent to ACCORD and then to the
display monitors and to the disk. If series acquisition was selected additional
EXPACK will be sent to trigger the generator for pulses at the rate that was selected
by the user.
Inactivation of EXPREQ (first step Hand switch release), holds the system in
Photospot mode. If then PREPREQ is deactivated, the system will exit Photospot
mode.

A. System Power up
1. Whole system is off. Mains are connected to RCU and FPU. Circuit breakers
are normally switched to on.
2. Pushing the 'ON' pushbutton at the Operating Console / Table control will turn
the Generator on
3. This will turn on the RCU and FPU that will turn on the MPU and ACPP.

Board & Signals Description 3-38


THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

RCU / MPU
- Upon receiving the 'ON' pulse from the Operating Console/Table control, which
is a dry contact, the Generator will turn 'ON'. This will cause terminals 11&12 on
TB6 (Gen' Room I/F Board) to close, in hence the RCU logic relay contacts are
shorted and 24V activates the RCU output relay. This causes the supply of mains
voltage to the MPU, as well as internal DC voltage to RCU board.
- The PC is turning on and generates, in few seconds, +12Vdc. The +12Vdc voltage
is supplied back to the RCU (through MPU remote cable) and activates the logic
relay. This activation cause continuation of 24V to the output relays and so, keeps
the MPU operation.

FPU / ACPP
- Upon receiving the 'ON' pulse from the Operating Console / Table control, which
is a dry contact, the Generator will turn 'ON'. This will cause terminals 1&2 on
TB6 (Gen' Room I/F Board) to close, in hence the FPUs' internal digital logic
board (PUC) transfer the 24V_ret to FPU output relays (separately). This causes
the 2 relays to activate and supply mains voltage to ACPP and 24VDC to FPD
(through the ACPP).
- The ACPP is turning on and generates, in few seconds, +5VDC through the USB.
The +5VDC voltage is supplied back to the FPU (through remote cable from USB
port) and “lock” the output relays activation by logic circuit. This activation
causes the continuation of 24V_ret to the output relays and so, keeps the ACPP
operation.

B. System Shut down

• From auto mode, log off from the DUET program.


This action causes the MPU to:
- Close all programs
- Send shut down command to ACPP through Ethernet cable. This
command shut down the ACPP and as a result, shut down the FPU
(the PUC remains operating and control the operation of power to
FPD)
- Send “generator off” command to the generator through the RCU
for shutting down the generator.
- The PC is shutting down. The +12Vdc is no longer supplied to
RCU and RCU is also shut down.
• In “technician” mode, close all programs and perform normal shut down to
the MPU. At this case, the “generator off” command is not applied and the
generator continues in operation (in case it was operating).

make additional updated backup.

The technician can check the following boxes:


 Registry: Holds all the parameters/setup of the system. The SSPM (see next
sections) is a subset of the Registry. This registry keeps the factory setups of the
specific system as well as site-related setups (e.g., some calibration data).
 Generator Settings: Holds all generator settings set in XML files.
 Correction Tables: Holds all the detector correction tables
 Log Files: System log files e.g., operation and error logs. The log files holds only
informative data therefore it is not required to backup the log files as a routine
operation. Backing-up the log files is useful for keeping a record of events and/or
sending the data for diagnostic purposes in case of a system failure. The log files
can be found in the directory: C:\drive_P\Log\
 Archive database (local database): This database holds the information that
corresponds to the images stored in the system.
 Patients database (history database): This is the history patients list in the

5.1 Safety Precautions

! WARNING VOLTAGES USED FOR THE OPERATION OF THIS


EQUIPMENT ARE DANGEROUS TO HUMAN LIFE

DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT FOR


PERIODS OF UP TO ONE MINUTE AFTER
REMOVAL OF POWER. WHEN SERVICING THIS
! WARNING EQUIPMENT. SUFFICIENT TIME SHOULD BE
ALLOWED AFTER POWER REMOVAL FOR THE
POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGES TO BLEED OFF TO
GROUND.

This instruction book provides general guidance for maintenance and service of
the DUET system and is intended for the qualified Service Technician familiar
with and aware of the dangers of handling electric and electronic circuits. It does
not purport to include a complete statement of the safety precautions that should
be observed in servicing this or other electronic equipment.
The servicing of this equipment by inadequately trained or inexperienced
personnel involves risks to such personnel and to the equipment for which the
manufacturer cannot accept responsibility. Personnel servicing this equipment
should familiarize themselves with first aid treatment for electrical burns and
electrical shock.
Very high voltages will be present mainly in display monitors. Power
distribution among DUET main units is performed at host country nominal
voltage.

5.1.1 Radiation Safety


Under no circumstance should the safety interlocks in the x-ray host system be
bypassed, jumpered, or otherwise disabled.
When performing tests or calibration under fluoroscopic or radioscopic
radiation, always wear appropriate protective clothing and radiation monitoring
devices. Use the minimum energy radiation required for every specific test.
Collimate the x-ray beam. Remember the inverse square law and position
yourself as far away from the x-ray tube as possible, behind a shielding screen or
best, inside the control room.

5.1.2 Power turn On/Off


Mains are connected to RCU and FPU. Circuit breaker is assembled on the front
panel of these units. CB's should be 'Off' position (0) until system is installed and
ready to receive power. RCU CB controls the power supplying of MPU and
monitors. FPU CB controls the power supplying to PU and FPD (flat panel
detector).

Installation 5-70
THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

5.1.3 Equipment Protection


Take precaution against static electricity when handling internal electronic
parts. Wear a properly grounded bracelet to avoid equipment damage.

Disconnect the AC Mains power cable from its supply terminal before cleaning
the equipment. Water, soap or other liquids, if allowed to drip into the
equipment they may cause electrical short circuits. Do not place food or
beverage containers on any part of the equipment. They can tip over and
introduce conductive substances into the electrical circuits.

5.1.4 General Precautions


1) Never move the main processing unit (MPU) or subject it to shock while the
power in ON, because there is a disk drive in the upper part of the main unit.
Before moving the main unit, make sure to turn the power off.
2) When connecting the cables, verify that the label attached to the cable
matches the corresponding connector. Connecting cables incorrectly may
damage the equipment.

Installation 5-71
THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

5.2 Installation Preceding


At this point, it is assumed that the physical installation and cable routing of the
Generator, diagnostic table, X-ray tube, collimator, FPD and In-Room Monitors have
been completed.
Use the Duet interconnection diagram and interconnection cable list detailed in
Appendix B while routing all the Duet system cables.
For installation of the above devices, refer to the installation manual for each device,
the following installation procedures should be performed adjacent to these devices
installation manuals.
Note: Generator setup and Tube calibration procedure should be perfume only
after completing section 6.1 in this manual.

5.2.1 Installation DUET power requirement


- Confirm that the power requirements, as stated in chapter1 under “Operating
Condition” section (1.3.8), are provided.
- Check that a proper breaker that complies with the power equipment is provided.
- Check that an adequate grounding terminal is provided.
- Mains supply to the system must be connected through a switch or circuit breaker
that must be accessible.

5.2.2 Installation Guidelines


- Adequate space for ventilation must be provided around the bodies of the RCU,
PU, FPU, FPD and MPU.
- To prevent interference noise, monitors should NOT be located beside the
Generator Rack or high-tension units - at least 1mt clearance should be kept.
- To reduce the possibility of noise collected by the I/F cables, the RCU (rack)
should be placed close to X-ray control cabinet. The communication between the
MPU and RCU is noise resistant due to the fiber-optic connection between the
two.
- Video cables between the MPU and the monitors should be cut to their minimum
required length. Extra cable length should NOT be rolled-up. Never try to extend
the video cable beyond the length supplied. Always use one video cable between
two points; never chain sections using connectors.
- Main power supply to the System (RCU Rack) should be taken from the same
source as that of the Generator. Attention should be paid to connect the system
through an adequate breaker (do not use the Generator Breaker; it may result, in
case of a short circuit, in a burnout of the system’s wires!).
- To prevent ground loops, all system units' power supply, with the exception of the
FPU and PU, should be taken from the RCU only (see Duet system ground and
Power interconnection diagram detailed in appendix B).

6.3.8 System settings for DSA Sequence in Angiography Option


In order to achieve good and "stable" images during the subtraction phases of the
DSA sequence the "AEC Lock Exps" function in the generator must be active and the
same number of exposure must be set in the Duet Main application.
When AEC Lock function is enabled, choosing a DSA Protocol, an”AEC Lock”
command will be sent to the CPI generator (through RS-232 communication, with all
other generator parameters), upon receiving this command the CPI generator, after
preset number of exposures *, will disable the AEC function and apply the resulted
exposure Pulse time (msec) from the last AEC exposure to all exposures thereafter.
This function will prevent image brightness change during subtraction phase of a
DSA sequence that could happen due to instability of the AEC.
1. Enable AEC Lock Exposures in the CPI generator (from GenWare):

* The number of AEC exposures before Lock AEC. This typically recommended
being 2 or 3 however, taking into consideration the AEC Ion chamber properties
and stabilization.
2. The same number of exposures set in the AEC Lock Exposures in the CPI
generator (1. above) must be set in the first Phase of the “Edit Sequence DSA”
setting dialog in the Duet Application.
For example if the CPI “AEC Luck Exps” is set to 3, than the number of Frames
in the first Phase (1) must be 3:

Important Notes:
a) In case where the Duet is Slave (“Hardware/CPI/Functional type= 1”) and the
system is setup with a Generator Control Console, activating or de-activating the
“AEC Lock” function from the Generator Control Console will be ignored by the
Duet SW (no impact on the checkbox in the “Edit Sequences DSA”).
In case where “Enable Generator AEC Lock Function” in a DSA Protocol is
checked, reselecting this Protocol will reactivate the AEC Luck in the CPI
Generator.
b) When exiting a sequence mode (e.g. returning to 'Single' OR closing the exam.
OR moving to another sequence w/o “AEC lock”, an “AEC Lock” Off' command
will be send to the generator.
c) The “Enable Generator AEC Lock Function” is by default unchecked in the
Protocol settings.
d) For Angiography Option when using DSA, it is possible to use the Injector
command from the RCU Port D* (Dry contact, Pins 8 & 4), if supported, it will
allow auto injection of the contrast material after Mask is applied (predefined in
the DSA protocol).

6.4 FPD Calibration Pre-Conditions

In order to perform the calibration procedure, the GenWare software must be started first and
only then start the calibration SW; this will cause the GenWare SW to take control over the
Duet PC's generator communication port.
- Start the GenWare SW by double click on the desktop icon (or from the start
menu).
- Start the system Calibration software by clicking on the desktop icon.
During the calibration procedure, flipping back and forth between the GenWare software and
the Calibration application can be done using the 'Alt' + 'Tab' keys on the keyboard.

Notes:
1. In an event where the Duet system is to be installed with an additional Generator
control console used to control the generator; all the generator parameters can be
modified through this console during the calibration process.
2. The Calibration SW always starts in 'Confirm' mode. In this mode the Digital gain
value displayed as dimed and is updated according to the selected technique
(DR/DA/DSA/RAD), this value is set to "1" by default and is updated when
performing digital gain calibration. When performing Defect Map or Gain calibration
verify to change the calibration state from 'Confirm mode to 'Manual' mode (from
the main menu choose 'Acquisition settings  Manual') and reset the value to "1".

1. In Calibration application, set the system values as follows:
- Detector Mode = RAD, (High resolution 3072x3072)
- Mag = N
- kVp = 60-70 kV, mAs = 5mAs
- Absorber = None, SID = 120cm
- Tabletop = Off, Grid = Off, AEC = Off
- WS display viewing in Full Resolution: 3072x3072:
(Main menu: Monitor  Full Resolution)

2. Position the perpendicularity test tools centered on the detector plane and perform
and exposure.
3. Using the ROI; measure the distance between the two center points in the circle of
the acquired image. The distance should be less than 30 pixels, in both Width (W)
and Height (H) in the Pixel Statistics section:

If necessary readjust the Table/Tube to improve perpendicularity and recheck.

6.5.2 Light Field to X-ray Field Alignment test


1. In Calibration application, set the system values as follows:
- Detector Mode = Fluoroscopy
- kVp = 60-70 kV, mA = 2.5mA
- Absorber = None, SID = 120cm
- Tabletop = Off, Grid = Off, AEC = Off
2. Activate the collimator light and position four coins on the corners of the
shuttered area projected on the detector plane and acquire a Fluoro image.
Note: In order to clearly view the edges of the illuminated light on the
detector surface, place the coins above a plain white paper on the detector plane.
3. Note the acquired image displayed and reposition the coins at the corners of the
image. Verify that the coins are fully visible and there is no light area between the
coin and the shutters:

Important note: Prior to adjusting the collimator light field, inspect the edges of the
x-ray field formed by the collimator shutters; a definitely indistinct edge indicates that
the primary shutter, close to the focal-spot, is the one forming the line, rather than the
outermost shutter. If necessary follow the collimator manufacture instructions to
correct the condition.

The Heel Effect will cause the field towards the


cathode to be slightly less sharp than on the other three
sides, This is normal and cannot be corrected

6.7 Pixium 4343 FL/RF FPD Calibration

To achieve good temperature stabilization for image quality or to do a


calibration, the detector must be powered on during at least 210 minutes.

6.7.1 General Overview


The Detector Calibration includes the following procedures:
1. Offset Correction,
2. X-Ray Dose Table Update,
3. Detector sensitivity check,
4. Gain calibration,
5. Defect map creation,
6. Digital Gain calibration,

These procedures must be performed only after Generator and Tube


calibration completion (including kV, mAs calibration).
The Digital Gain calibration is performed only after Gain and Defect map calibration
completed. During the Gain and Defect Map calibration verify that the Digital Gain is
set to '1"(Calibration in "Manual "mode):

Generator setup during calibration:


During the Calibration procedure, the generator parameters are set using CPI
GenWare software.
Verify that the AEC and ABC are 'Off' throughout the entire detector calibration.
Note: Starting the GenWare SW first, before starting the Duet calibration task,
will cause the GenWare to take over the communication port with the generator.
Dose Measure during the calibrations:
It is recommended to use the dose-meter protected from the scattered radiation (for
example, lead shielded silicon detector). If a standard air ion chamber is used, take
into account the scattering radiation effect on the measured dose value.

System Setup & Calibration 6-118


THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

6.7.1.1 Offset Correction


The offset correction makes the subtraction from the raw X-ray image of the offset
table.
The calibration is done with the system synchronization. The offset level depends on
the frame rate, the X-ray window and the temperature drift. Therefore, the offset
calibration has to be made for each offset reference.
Offset calibration needs to be performed manualy for all of the modes. If callibration
Task is started up, Offset calibration must be performed manually before each mode
is used for the first time. In addition Offset refresh shall be performed every 30 min,
until the new offset calibration is performed. Note that if the field size is changed, the
acqusition mode may also be chganged.

6.7.1.2 X-Ray Dose Table Update


This procedure is used to define the genertor X-ray parameters (kV, mA, ms) used
during the detector gain and defect map calibration process for each detector mode.
Updating the "X-Ray Dose Table" parameters will update the prompting windows for
generator dose settings during the gain and defect map calibration process.
The prucedure needs to be perform only once during first installation or system pre-
staging and can be used for systems with the same setup and configuration (Tube,
Table top, AEC Ion chamber, Grid type, SID...).

6.7.1.3 Detector sensitivity check

It is important to perform this stage before installing the AEC ion


chamber, Grid and the Table-top.
This procedure is used to define the detectors sensitivity before the actual detector
calibration.
Determining the detector sensitivity in a preliminary stage (system first installation or
pre-staging) will enable to verify the detector validity by comparing the found
sensitivity value to the sensitivity noted in the detectors delivery documents, it will
also enable to obtain the dose value as a factor of the found Grey Level (by the
detector) for the acquired image, this will enable to easily calibrate the AEC, ABC &
Digital Gain in nominal conditions.
The detector sensitivity check only needs to be performing once during the life cycle
of the detector.
The detectors sensitivity is measured in two main PU modes 4 & 3 for RF detector &
PU modes 4 & 10 for FL detector (in Normal Magnification). By measuring the
actual dose with a dose meter and reading the Grey Level (in a predefined condition)
the detector sensitivity can be calculated, for each mode by the following simple
equation:

Detector _ GL
= Sensitiviy GL
Measured _ Dose nGy / frame nGy

System Setup & Calibration 6-119


THALES Electron Devices S.A. DUET Installation & Maintenance Manual
REV C SW Ver. 1.09

The calculated Detector Sensitivity is only determined during the detector installation
and can be used again for future recalibration of the detector when the current
calibration is expired.
Note: It is important to perform this stage before installing the Grid and the
Table-top during system first installation or pre-staging.

6.7.1.4 Gain Correction


The gain correction does the division of the image by the gain reference table. The
gain table is an average of white offset corrected good images. The correction
parameters are determined per pixel to reach the maximal flatness at the defined dose
level.
The Gain data is saved in the PU's hard disk.
For a multiple offset references, the calibration is performed at the slowest acqusition
rate. From the Frequency pull-down menu in the Log Mode Parameters frame; select
the slowest rate.
The linear gain correction uses only one parameter, determined at the single dose
level. The Linear Gain is performed for each mode with its defined dose.

6.7.1.5 Defect Map Correction


It is recommended to perform the calibration for the offset reference at the lower
frame rate of the mode. The DM calculation is made with offset and linear gain
corrected image.
There are three types of defect calibration:
1) Defect map calibration
2) Blinking pixel calibration
3) Gain DM
- In the Defect map calibration the defect pixels are flagged at different dose levels,
two low doses and one (4343FL) or two high (4343RF) doses. Each defective
pixel is an interpolation of its correct neighbor’s pixels.
- The Blinking pixels calibration is done with an offset reference for each logical
mode. At and of the blinking pixel calibration a new correction table is created.
- The Gain DM calibration is done using the linear gain reference table. A gain
defect map table is generated following this calibration. There is no X-rays
needed for generating this calibration table
The Blinking pixel and Gain DM calibration are not mandatory calibration and is
recommended to be performing only in event where IQ tests are not optimized.
The DM table is valid for 6 months.

6.7.1.6 DR Digital Gain


This function is used to measure the pixel values and define the digital gain for
Fluoroscopy and Radiography operating modes (excluding RAD). The purpose of the
Digital Gain calibration is to promise a pre-defined target GL values for a given dose
at the
Detector entrance plane during the examinations, with ABC and AEC algorithms
activated. Digital Gain is determined per each detector mode to comply with the
following equation:
[Target GL] = [ROI GL]* [Digital Gain Factor]
In RAD mode the Digital Gain equals 1. Therefore the Target GL varies according to
the Detector sensitivity.

6.7.2.2 Mode calibration order and waiting times


Because of ghost images, the recommendation is to calibrate low dose mode before
high dose mode.
The recommended mode order for calibration is:
For RF detector: 3, 14, 13, 15, 2, 7, 4, 21, 16.
For FL detector: 15, 16, 18, 14, 10, 9, 4, 2, 8.
The recommendation is to perform the Gain calibration at a more used frame rate and
the Defect calibration at a lower frame rate.

For Offset, Gain and DM calibration, conditions must be respected for a good
calibration, 1 min waiting time is necessary after:
 X-ray
 Mode switching
 Offset reference switching
During this waiting time, the detector reads dark images but does not save them.

6.7.2.4 Detector Sensitivity Check


Gain Calibration:
In order to measure the detector sensitivity, initial Gain calibration of the relevant
modes (RF - modes 4 & 3, FL - modes 4 & 15) needs to be performed.
Following the instructions in section 6.7.2.5 for Gain calibration; perform the Gain
calibration for the PU modes 4, 3 RF & 4, 15 (FL), using the dose condition described
in the Gain & Defect Map Calibration table (6.7.2.10).

Detector Sensitivity Check:


The acquisitions and dose measuring should be done in the following condition:
- Collimator blades fully open and in manual mode
- Aluminum Filter = 21 mm (installed under the collimator)
- No AEC, No Grid, No Tabletop
- Digital Gain set to "1"
- SID = 100cm
- kV/mA/ms = Use the same values used for the Gain Calibration
- Dose Meter resting slightly of-center on the detector (not to overlap with the
ROI)
Verify that the above conditions are met, from the calibration task set the dose
conditions and PU Mode as per the table below. For each PU Mode perform the
acquisition and file in the table below the 'Measured Dose' measurement and the
average Grey Level received (taken from the ROI GL).

Use the following equation to calculate the detector sensitivity:

Detector _ GL
= Sensitiviy GL
Measured _ Dose nGy / frame nGy

Use the following table to record your measurements and calculations.


Verify that the calculated Detectors Sensitivity is within the range, for each PU
Mode, as presented in the' Typical Sensitivity' column in the following table:

Providing the detector sensitivity S 3 (as found in section 6.7.2.4) and Target Dose
for Continues Fluoroscopy in ‘N’ Magnification, the digital gain for ‘N’ size
( DG(CF _ N ) ) can be calculated as follows:

1024( t arg etGL )


DG(CF _ N ) =
(T arg et _ Dose _ Rate( nGy / Sec ) / 18( frames ) ) × S 3

Where: T arg et _ Dose _ Rate( nGy / Sec ) - The recommended dose rate for CF ‘N’ Mag
is 500nGy/sec (or higher – depending on your local regulation and accepted image

Notes:
1. The AEC calibration is performed for RAD mode (High resolution) 500ms (Mag
‘N’) in density "-1" and used for all other Radiography modes.

2. The digital gain calibration for DR is normally performed while the generators
Density is "-5" for each magnification, in 250ms.
For DSA the generators Density should be set to "-3"
For DA the generators Density should be set to "-4"

3. The actual variations in the Dose for each Technique, i.e. DR, DA\DSA (and RAD),
is determined from the main application protocols setting by presetting the
generator Density according to the Protocol being used.
Normally DR=-5, DSA=-3, DA=-4 & RAD=-1.

- In the Acquisition setting select 'Set' to display the 'Set Acquisition Mode' window.
Select the 'Radio' and specify DR, 250ms:

- Verify Magnification is set to ‘N’ (Normal)


- In GenWare SW verify that only the middle AEC cell is active.

Verify that the orientations of the AEC ion-chamber cells (left, center,
right) are wired and set correctly.
MISS ORIENTED CELLS WILL CAUSE IMAGE QUALITY
DEGRADATION.

- Acquire a Radiographic image and adjust the AEC master gain on the CPI AEC
board, so that the obtained "Current Average GL" in the calibration task is matching
the calculated dose in GL ("Dose converted to GL"):

6.8.2 General Overview


The detector calibration is done using the EZ Calibration software in conjunction with
the GenWare Software to set the required dose parameters for the detector calibration
process.
There are 3 modes being used with the 3543EZ detector: 500ms, 1000ms, 3200ms and
the calibration needs to be done only for the 1000ms, the same reference files created is
used for the other modes (reference files are duplicated when launching the Duet SW).
The calibration acquisitions must be done in the following conditions:
1. SID = 180cm
2. 1.5 Cupper filtration (verify no extra filtration in the Collimator)
3. Collimator fully open (in manual mode)
4. No Grid
5. Perpendicularity between the tube/collimator and the detector must be maintained.
6. No object is present in the x-ray beam between the tube and the detector.
7. The detector must remain stable during the calibration
8. It is highly recommended to use an absorption substance (such as lead apron)
under the detector to avoid burn-in ghosting during calibration due to
backscattering.
9. Dose = The following X-ray parameters are used during the calibration of the
Detector:

Number of
Calibration Dose kVp mAs*
acquisitions
Gain 10 25µGy 85kV 40mAs
Defect Map 1 2.5µGy 85kV 4mAs
1 5µGy 85kV 8mAs
1 40µGy 85kV 64mAs
1 50µGy 85kV 80mAs
* Estimated, mAs can be modified as necessary to gain the requested Dose
however, ms used must not exceed 400ms pulse with.

5 different doses will be requested to be set at the generator, one dose for 10
acquisitions of the Digital Gain creation at 25µGy and another 4 acquisitions at 4
different doses for the Defect Map creation at 2.5µGy, 5µGy, 40µGy and 50µGy
sequentially.
Throughout the calibration process a message may appear indicating that the dose
applied to the detector is ether too high or too low, in such event change the generator
mAs as necessary to proceed with the calibration.

6.9 System Backup


Verify that the backup media of your system is provided. This media holds the
parameters that are mostly suitable for your system configuration. This media will
help you to restore your system configuration in case the system software has
become accidentally corrupted during the installation period. However, at this point
it is recommended to perform a new backup that will hold all the actual system
installation data (e.g. configurations, calibration, and DICOM settings).
For details on how to use the backup utility, please refer to chapter-4 and chapte-8.

Once the systems installation and setup is completed it also recommended backing
up the CPI generator final setting and all the PU settings and correction tables.

In addition to system configuration backup, a System Mirror Backup needs to be


performing after every SW upgrade or any configuration changes made to the
DUET system. Using the DiskTool Diagnose Utility (provided with the SW CD, see
9.4) a mirror of the System HDD is recreated in an unused partition of the Image
HDD. This mirrored backup can be used in an event when the System HDD become
corrupted or needs to be replaced with a CMT Generic Stamped HDD (part of the
FRU-Appendix A). With this simple method the system can be operable and
running again within a matter of minutes. For details on how to use this method
please refer to chapter-9.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. During application phase, doctor’s names and study types may be
programmed in the system. It is recommended to perform a backup
again after the completion of this phase. This backup should include the
registry and the ‘System Setup Databases’.
2. When system software upgrade is to be performed in the future, or
during periodical maintenance, it is recommended to perform a new
updated backup prior to performing your work.
3. To clear all unnecessary information before handing the system to your
customer: Start the Utility menu and open the ‘Reset Databases and
Pending Jobs’ utility. Check the - ‘Delete Patient DB’, ‘Delete Pending
Jobs’ and ‘Delete Stored images’ – checkboxes, click OK and confirm.
4. Backup operation of the Databases can be done also during Auto mode
operation from the Setup menu of the Acquisition screen, for more
details see operational manual. It is advisable to inform your customer
about the importance of making routine backups of the databases.

6.9.1 Performing Standard Backup


Perform an updated backup of the Registry and Database as described in section 8 of
this manual (8.1 - Maintaining a Duet system Backup Log)

6.9.2 Generator Settings Backup


It is also highly recommended at the end of the installation to keep a Generator setup
and configuration backup file. This could be usefully in cases when a corruption
occurred in the Generator and/or default production is needed. The backup can only
be done through the GenWare utility SW and should be kept together with the
systems backup.

6.9.3 PU Settings and Correction Tables Backup


It is recommended to export and backup all the settings and the correction tables
(Gain, DM, and Settings) stored in the PU to the Duet PC in a predefined directory, or
to an external storage device. This backup, if necessary, can be restored when a
corruption occurred in the PU or in an event where the PU needs to be replaced with a
new one:
1. From the 'ACPP Advanced Management' go to the 'Backup_Restore" tab,
choose the 'Backup option.
2. On the left click on the ' ' icon.
3. In the prompted window choose the preferred directory for the backup or
create a new folder in a chosen directory, and click 'OK':

4. Verify that the directory path chosen is placed in the window next to the
"Choose a Folder' and click the 'Commit' button to start the backup process.
Refer to section 9.12 for more instructions.

Prior to removing the RCU I/O board for the


purpose of inspecting the I/O signals, it is
recommended to perform the signal test on the
generator side, in addition to the LED's indication
on the RCU back connector plate.

Before removing the RCU I/O board, turn the whole


system down and disconnect the power cord from
the RCU.
During the RCU I/O signal inspection, care should
be taking to prevent any contact with the under side
of the board.
It is highly recommended to rest the board on an
isolating material in order to prevent any damages
to the board caused by short circuit.

9.3.6 New FPU test switches

These switches were inserted for non-completed fast PUC-C test. There are 3 small
holes in the front panel. Behind each hole there is a small switch. See drawing above
marked with arrows. In order to press a switch it is required to use a thin tool
(preferred not metallic!!).
When turning the new FPU on with the circuit breaker, the 3 upper LEDs turn to
green. The lower LED “ACPP(pu) PWR” remain yellow (unless there is a command
from generator at “GEN REMOTE” connector or 5V to “ACPP POWER” USB
connector from PU).
- Remote on switch
This switch is connected in parallel with the Gen remote input. Thus, pressing
this switch would cause the supplying of AC power out (MAIN PWR) and the
“ACPP (PU) PWR” LED would turn to green.
- FPD off switch
This switch is connected in parallel with “FPD off” command from RCU
(received at RCU comm. connector). Thus, pressing this switch would cause
the DET power 24VDC to vanish. The “DET PWR CMD” LED and the “DET
PWR OUT “ LED would turn to yellow.
- PU off switch
This switch is connected in parallel with “PU off” command from RCU
(received at RCU comm. connector). Thus, pressing this switch would cause
the AC power (MAIN PWR) to vanish. The “ACPP(pu) PWR” LED would
turn to yellow. Note that the AC power to PU should be turned on prior to this
switch pressing.
There are 4 ways for turning on the AC power to the PU.
• Connecting the “Gen Remote” cable from generator and turning on the
generator
• Connect a dummy connector to the “Gen Remote” connector (DB9
male connector with pins 1 and 6 shorted - supplied with the system)
• Connect the USB cable from the operating PU to “ACPP REMOTE”
connector.
• Pressing and holding the “Remote On” switch.
Pressing the “PU off” switch, overcomes the turn on command.

9.5.4 System HDD Replacement and Restore Actions


Note: In addition to system configuration backup, a System Mirror Backup needs to
be performing after every SW upgrade or any configuration changes made to the
DUET system. Using the DiskTool Diagnose Utility (provided with the SW CD, see
9.4) a mirror of the System HDD is recreated in an unused partition of the Image
HDD. This mirrored backup can be used in an event when the System HDD needs to
be replaced with a CMT Generic Stamped HDD (part of the FRU-appendix A).
With this simple method the system can be operable and running again within a
matter of minutes. For details on how to use this method please refer to chapter-9 for
the Disk-Tool Utility.

If done properly, all (uncorrupted) images and databases will be restored.


1. Logoff from the Duet SW and shut down the system.
2. Replace faulty Image-disk following procedure in 9.5.
3. Power-up the system and logon in technician mode. DO NOT START THE
Duet SW.
4. Restore base on section 9.4.5 from DiskTool restore options

backup media

9.5.5 Image HDD Replacement Due To RAID-1 Problem


Before replacing any HDD:
1. Make a backup of the Databases & Registry to a disk on key.
2. Backup your images or send it to PACS or Hard Copy

There could be three Raid-1 related statuses:


1. Normal - Both Raid-1 disks are ok and synchronized
2. Degraded – One of the physical disks is faulty
3. Rebuild – Synchronization of new volume

1) Normal – Both Raid-1 volume are ok and synchronized fully


During the system startup, the Intel® Storage Technology- Option ROM user
Interface will display the RAID1 volume status as 'Normal'.(press 'Pause' on the
keyboard if necessary)

2) Degraded – Raid-1 volumes 1 or 2 reported as degraded


In this case on the Workstation Monitor and on the IRM will be a message notifying
the degraded status.

This status can also be seeing during computer boot up (press the Pause key on the
keyboard if necessary), the Intel® Rapid Storage Technologies screen will display the
RAID-1 volume status as 'Degraded' and the physical disk type/status will display
only one Member Disk.

A RAID-1 volume is reported as degraded when one of its members disconnected


(missing) or Failed. In this case data mirroring is lost. As a result, the system can only
use the functional member.
To re-establish data mirroring and restore data redundancy, refer to the procedures
below:

MISSING MEMBER DRIVE:


1. Make sure the system is powered off.
2. Reconnect the missing drive
3. Restart the system. The rebuild process will occur automatically.

During computer boot up view Raid status (press the Pause key on the keyboard if
necessary), Raid volume status should be Rebuild and both members are viewed.
Also the Intel® Rapid Storage Technologies Status tab will show the ‘Rebuild’ with
the actual percentage of the process
FAILED MEMBER DRIVE:
1. Make sure the system is powered off.
2. Replace the failed hard drive with a replacement HDD
3. Power on the system. During the system startup, the Intel® Matrix Storage
Manager option ROM user Interface will display the RAID1 volume status as
'Degraded' and the physical disk type/status will indicate 'Non RAID Disk', as
follows:

* Video cables between the MPU and the monitors should be cut to their minimum required length. Extra cable length should NOT be rolled-
up. Never try to extend the video cable beyond the length supplied. Always use one video cable between two points; never chain sections using
connectors. (An extra BNC connector is supplied when cable needs to be cut to size)

** To prevent ground loops, all system units' power supply, with the exception of the FPU and PU, should be taken from the RCU only.

*** Usage of accessories, transducers and cable other than those specified may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the
DuetDRF.
Note:
Transducers and cables sold by manufacturer of medical equipment or systems as replacement parts for internal components are not in the
scope of the above warning

D.1 Ground-looping and Random Noise Check


This section verifies that the image displayed on the system monitors is clean from random noise
typically caused by ground loops and bad "earthing". Tests that are clear of noise should be
confirmed by checking the corresponding checkbox.

All noise tests should be performed from the main software by observing the system monitors under
nominal ambient light condition.

In case visible noise is detected in one or more of the tests, all imaging system grounding should be
re-checked. In this case disconnect all power and data cables from the monitors and the FPD as
well as the connection to FPU and RCU. By using a multi-meter check that all units ground is
properly connected and that this ground is isolated from the Generator and Table ground.

Perform the following checks using the standard 21mm AL filter:


- Image on the monitors after logon is clean of random noise
- Perform CF (ABC on) and check that no noise is seen on the ‘live’ monitors
- Perform PF (ABC on) and check that no noise is seen on the ‘live’ monitors
- Acquire a Rad image and check that no noise is shown on the display monitors
- Send the acquired image to the ‘Ref’ monitor and check that the image is free of noise

D.3 Flatness and Artifact


• Measurements should be performed under Calibration software

• Settings
- For 4343 RF/FL detector: as per FPD gain Calibration section 6.7.2.6 for each used mode.
For 3543 EZ detector: as per FPD calibration section 6.8.2
- Set Auto Windowing to 100 for Radiography modes and 400 for Fluoroscopy modes

• Artifacts check
- Acquire an image for each of the modes and verify image is clean of artifacts. If necessary
remove any object suspecting of causing an artifact and repeat recheck. If artifact still exist
repeat calibration for the relevant mode.

• Flatness check:
- Using the default size ROI check image average GL at center and at 4 corners. Deviation
should not very more than 5%, otherwise repeat calibration for the corresponding mode.
