1. Overview
The DICOM Modality Worklist Management Software (Specifications for the Network WL)
enables the user to query and retrieve study information with the AWS that is connected online
(DICOM specification interface) to the host units.
Study information can be queried and retrieved only in the “Network WL list” by using the day
accession number and relevant AE title as a matching key automatically. The condition set by
the user (accession number, patient ID, patient name, requested procedure ID, study date,
modality name, or AE title) can also be used as a matching key. (Multiple matching keys can
be used to execute AND query for study information.)
2. Operations
2.1 Performing Retrieval
Display the “Network WL list”. In this list, study information that corresponds to the day
accession number and relevant AE title (the name of the main unit) is retrieved after automatic
query is executed for the host units (RIS terminal unit and others).
Automatic query for the host units is executed periodically under the latest condition
(including those explained below) with the “Network WL list” kept displayed. For details, see
“2.2 Setting Study List”.

MWM-3
The wild card “ *” can be used when inputting “Patient’s Name”.
Example : Input “FUJI*” to retrieve the study information for all patients whose family
name is “FUJI”.
NOTE
• The study information not complying with the specifications of this system cannot be
retrieved even if the information may correspond to its matching key.
• The contents in the “Network WL list” will be updated each time query is executed. For this
reason, it must be noted that remaining study information could be deleted if query is
executed under a new condition while the study information retrieved under a condition set
by the user remains displayed in the “Network WL list”.
• If all the study information cannot be displayed in the “Network WL list” at a time, a scroll bar
is displayed on the right-hand side of the window. You can use this scroll bar to scroll the
information in the list.

Q/R-1
1. Overview
The Network Image Search Software enables the user to search and display images from
storage devices or workstations connected to the AWS using any item as a key element and
then to print out those images on film.
A storage device to be selected immediately after startup of this software can be determined in
the User Utility.
Select “Property Setting” in User Utility and then “Other setting”. After the Network Image
Search Software has been started, use “Setting the Target Destination for Query of Study
Information” to select a storage device and then select “OK”.

Q/R-2
2. Operations
How to search and display images and then to print them on film is described below.
2.1 Starting and Exiting the Network Image Search Software

(1) Starting the Network Image Search Software
Network Image Search Software

Select “All” and then .
Select
The “Search window” is displayed.

Q/R-3
(2) Exiting the Network Image Search Software
Select in the “Search window”.
Close the “Search window” to return to the window for the AWS.
2.2 Using the Network Image Search Software

When using this software, input search conditions in the “Search window” to find studies that
match them. The hit results will then be listed accordingly.
(1) Selecting a storage device targeted for searching

Select .
A window is displayed where you select a storage device to be searched.

When “Setting the Target Destination for Query of Study Information” has been determined in
the User Utility, the search target determined in the User Utility will be displayed as a storage
device to be selected immediately after startup of this software.

Q/R-4
Select a device to be searched for from the pull-down menu and then select .
To cancel the selection to return to the “Search window”, select .
(2) Inputting search conditions

Based on the following items used as key elements, you can search for and list study
information and images stored in a storage device.
Patient ID : Input any patient ID. Study information items hit as a result of searching
will then be displayed in a list.
Note that “@” and “ ‘ ” (single quotation mark) are not allowed to use.
Patient Name : Input any patient name. Study information items hit as a result of searching
will then be displayed in a list.
To facilitate searching of necessary study information, spaces can be used
to divide a patient name into surname, given name and middle name.
For example, when a study is stored in a storage device, with “Fuji” and
“Tarou” for the surname and given name, respectively, you can search for
necessary study information easily by inputting “Fuji[]Tarou”([] represents
a space).
Study Date : Input any date before and after “/”. Input start date of a specified period in
the input box before “/” and last date of the same period in the input box
after “/”. Study information items for the specified period, hit as a result of
searching, will then be displayed in a list form.
The start or last date of the specified period can be omitted as necessary.
For example, when no date was input after “/” though “2008.10.01” was
input before “/”, you can search for all studies from October 1, 2008 to the
date on which the study is actually performed.
Accession No. : Input any study number. Study information items hit as a result of
searching will then be displayed in a list.
Modality Name : Select “MG” for the modality name. You can then display study
information items hit as a result of searching in a list.

Q/R-5
• Fuzzy search (wildcard search)
Fuzzy search (wildcard search) is possible by specifying “*” and “?” for conditions used to
search patient IDs, patient names and study numbers. “*” searches for any character string of
more than 0 digit and “?” for any one character.
For example, if you wish to perform overall search of study information that includes patient
IDs whose first five characters starting with “2008f” (such as “2008f101”, “2008fabc”,
“2008f7”, and others), input “2008f*” for the patient ID.
Moreover, when you are searching for study information that includes patient IDs consisting,
for instance, of six characters and whose first five characters starting with “2008f” (such as
“2008f7”, “2008Fa”), input “2008f?” for the patient ID.
Useful tip for quick search

When the key character string for study information to be searched for is not clearly
determined or for a search with a patient name used for the key element, fuzzy search will
facilitate you to find desired studies easily.
Desired studies can be queried efficiently if fuzzy search is used to locate much more
information so that such target studies are found based on the search result list.
• Search using combined search conditions

Multiple items can be used as search conditions.
For example, if you wish to search for the information on all the studies performed on October 1,
2008, input “2008.10.01” before and after “/” of the Study Date.
In addition, if you wish to search for study information on a patient with the patient ID of
“2008f11001” from among studies performed between October 1 and October 4, 2008, input
“2008f11001” in the input box of the “Study ID” and “2008.10.01” in the input box before “/”
of the Study Date and “2008.10.04” in the input box after it.
NOTE
It is not allowed to use the information input from a BCR (barcode reader) or MCR (magnetic
card reader), instead of using information input on the keyboard.

Q/R-6

relocating by the following methods, which can be performed in other lists, are not possible.
• Sorting using a dialog box that determines the sort order.

• Searching by narrowing down the listed information items.
• Alternately changing between showing and hiding the displayed items, as well as changing
the display order.

Q/R-8
NOTE
• When a standard image, converted from a high-density image and filed (stored) in a storage
device or the like, is printed after it has been read on the AWS, there are cases where the
margins of the image appear white (or black).
• When a stitched life-size image, resulting from a long-view exposure, is printed from an
image storage (filing) device after it has been read on the AWS density of the areas where
images are stitched with each other can be different from that of the original image (before
storage).
• If search results include images output via other companies’ terminals, those images cannot
be acquired or displayed. This is because such image sizes are not supported. In such cases,

the following message is displayed:
“The study you wish to acquire does not include information necessary for you to verify
images. Processing to acquire the study cannot be continued.”
• Search results may include images that cannot be acquired or displayed, as such images are
unavailable because their predetermined specifications are not supported.
An attempt to acquire or display such image will cause the following message to appear:
“Study acquisition processing has failed. Images that are unable to be displayed may exist
within the study.”
In this window, you can specify destination for image output, film format and the number of
output films. You can also reserve/cancel image distribution and specify urgent image output
processing.
NOTE
• Do not delete the exposure menu, whose image has already transmitted (delivered) for
storage, on a terminal where you are now acquiring images.

2.2 Manual Blackening Processing········································ Black-9

Black-1
1. Overview
Blackening Processing Software is used to blacken the region out of irradiated field
(unnecessary white region) on an image with arbitrary density. There are two processing
methods: “Automatic Blackening Processing” and “Manual Blackening Processing”.
Automatic Blackening Processing automatically detects and blackens regions outside the
irradiated field on exposed images, requiring no user operations for this purpose. Parameters
necessary for performing Automatic Blackening Processing can be updated as required in the
User Utility.
When images are subjected to verification in the “QA window”, Manual Blackening
Processing detects/blackens regions outside the irradiated field by user operations for any
image you wish.
Manual Blackening Processing can be applied to an image displayed for verification purposes.
In addition, it is possible with this processing method to reprocess (correct/redo) an image that
has been subjected to Automatic Blackening Processing.
Automatic Blackening Processing and Manual Blackening Processing can be used either
individually or simultaneously. Select a proper processing method according to what the target
image requires.
2. Operations
How to operate Automatic Blackening Processing and Manual Blackening Processing is
described below.
2.1 Automatic Blackening Processing

This processing method automatically detects and blackens the region out of irradiated field of
exposed images.
The parameters for the Automatic Blackening Processing can be updated using the User
Utility. Perform the following operation if necessary.
For notes on performing exposures, see “(5) Notes for performing exposures” in “2.1.1
Updating the Parameters by Exposure Menu”.
Caution to be observed when using Automatic Blackening Processing :
Since this processing method uses the pattern recognition technology, it is possible
that an effective image is painted out, depending on whether it is recognized
successfully or not.
For this reason, make sure when you use this processing that an effective image area
is not painted out on the AWS. Use Manual Blackening Processing as necessary to
correct or redo the image.
• When an effective image area has been painted out
Clear the blackened area, and then re-input an area to be painted.
• When an effective image area has not been painted out completely with a certain
area remaining unpainted
Clear the blackened area, and then re-input an area to be painted or re-input an
area to be painted black additionally without clearing it off once.

Black-2
2.1.1 Updating the Parameters by Exposure Menu
Explained below is how to update the Automatic Blackening Processing parameters for each
exposure menu.
Automatically Blackening Processing is set to be performed by default for many exposure
menus. Check the setting for each exposure menu in the User Utility. For the menus for which
Automatically Blackening Processing is not set by default, change the setting if necessary.

Other notes
In the cases below, an image area may not be painted out as it is not recognized correctly or is
recognized incorrectly by Automatic Blackening Processing. If this happens, devise a proper
exposure method as necessary, or correct or redo the image using Manual Blackening
Processing.
• Do not set the side of the irradiated field too short, otherwise it is highly probable that the
excessively short side may not be recognized properly and remain unpainted.
White portions marked with arrows in the illustration below represent those that were
recognized erroneously or those that might not be recognized properly and remain unpainted.

Retake-1
1. Overview
The Retake Analysis Software is incorporated as the Retake Analysis function in the User
Utility and analyzes the cause of mis-exposure by referring to the exposure result log, mis-
exposure log, and mis-exposure images saved in the AWS.
Retake Analysis function enables acquisition of mis-exposure image information for a certain
period so that it is displayed properly in a list. Mis-exposure image information acquired can
be listed for all technologists or individually for each technologist. It is also possible to display
images included in such mis-exposure information selected from the list.
Furthermore, you can use the Retake Analysis function to set up a time period for acquiring
mis-exposure image information, information to be acquired, as well as information used for
output of such mis-exposure image information to files.
Mis-exposure image information acquired via the Retake Analysis function and displayed in a
list can be calculated individually for each exposure region. The calculation result will be listed
for each exposure region.
It is also possible to store mis-exposure image information, acquired via the Retake Analysis
function and displayed in a list, as well as the calculated result, as a “.csv” format file. The file
can be saved at any location specified in the “Setup window”.

Menu Description
2 Exposure Menu
1 Study Menu
The Study Menu is an aggregate of menus to be used for exposure of a series of study.
The Exposure Menu included in a Study Menu, as well as order of performing studies is determined by the
default, which, however, can be changed in the User Utility.
(For details, see the descriptions related to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system.)
• 2on1 format settings selected for a Study Menu
When exposures are performed with a selected Study Menu, images obtained by the two exposures are
displayed on a 26×36cm film. Images displayed in such a layout are named a 2on1 format. This image display
format is used for Study Menus, such as Right- and Left-Breasts Spot, Right- and Left-Breasts 2R and Right-
and Left-Breasts MLO. If a single exposure menu, but not marked with “(2on1 format)”, is selected, 2on1
format images will not be displayed. The Study Menu field is grayed out, if there is only one exposure menu.
2 Exposure Menu
The Exposure Menu is the name of a single study such as “L MAMMOGRAPHY, CC”.
* Default settings for each exposure menu can be changed using the User Utility.
3 MPM Code
The MPM Code is a four-digit code number assigned for the purpose of management of exposure menus. The
MPM Code determines EDR (a function that corrects image density and contrast automatically) and image
processing conditions to be applied. If the assigned MPM Code is the same, images will be output according to
the same conditions even though the Exposure Menu used is not the same.
ote that when an exposure menu (for example, L MAMMOGRAPHY, CC: MPM Code 0329) was subject to
N
change of image processing conditions, the change will affect all the menus concerned if there is an exposure
menu of the same MPM code (such as R MAMMOGRAPHY, CC). Should you wish to change the image
processing condition only for the specified menu, change the 3rd-digit figure to make a different MPM code so
that specific conditions are set up appropriately.
1st digit : Represents an exposure technique to be used. (ex. 0: General exposure, 1: Contrast exposure, etc.)
2nd digit : Represents an anatomical part to be exposed. (ex. 3: Breast)
3rd digit : Any alphanumeric selected from 0 to 9 and A to F. Even if a figure in this digit is changed, EDR will
not be affected.
4th digit : Any alphanumeric that determines EDR.
4 AP/PA - Flipping setting for images to be output -
AP : Outputs an image as is without processing it.
PA : Outputs an image flipped horizontally.
: Outputs an image rotated by 180 degrees.
AP
: Outputs an image flipped vertically.
* Default settings can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change default settings by the currently used
mode.
5 Menu Description
The Menu Description describes anatomical parts and exposure techniques suited to a specific exposure menu.
Brief precautions to be observed when performing exposures are also included. For details on those precautions
to be observed, see the Operation Manual for the system.
• When creating a new menu
A new menu can be created using the User Utility. (For how to create a new menu, see the descriptions
related to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system.)
For a special exposure that cannot be handled by default exposure menus, the menu can be added as
necessary. When doing so, select an exposure menu that involves similar images. See the descriptions related
to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system to make sure that the MPM code to be used for the
new menu is not used, and then determine proper image processing conditions. Also confirm that AP or PA is
selected correctly.

1 EDR Mode
EDR mode consists of AUTO mode, SEMI AUTO mode, and FIX mode.
A (AUTO mode) : A mode which adjusts density and contrast automatically.
Standard Image Processing Parameters

(S and L values are dependent on this mode.)
S (SEMI AUTO mode) : A mode where the dynamic range (L value) of X-ray dose to be recorded as an
image has been determined, and the center point (S value) used for the purpose of
image recording is decided based on the average X-ray dose that enters the
preset photometric area so that the density is adjusted automatically.
F (FIX mode) : A mode where the range of X-ray dose to be recorded as an image has been
determined.
* Default settings for this mode can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change the mode type currently
being used.
2 Auto - Parameters used in AUTO mode -

PRIEF (Pattern Recognizer for Iris of Exposure Field) .....
This is a generic denomination of processing that recognizes split exposures and irradiated field
automatically. PRIEF includes the following technique types:
- : Does not recognize split exposures and irradiated field. (SEMI AUTO mode and type IV described below.)
1 : Does not recognize split exposures and judges a rectangular area as an irradiated field.
1S : Recognizes split exposures and judges individually recognized areas as rectangular irradiated fields.
2 : Recognizes irradiated field of a breast.
4 : Does not recognize split exposures and judges a protrusive area as an irradiated field.
4S : Recognizes split exposures and judges individually recognized areas as protrusive irradiated field. (normal
mode)
4* : Judges a protrusive area as an irradiated field by split areas determined.
AN : Auto neck algorithm
SP : Activates AUTO mode based on a specially determined area, irrespective of the image size specified by DR
equipment.
TYPE ..... A type of technique for histogram or neuro analysis subjected after PRIEF processing.
I : A mode that captures regions covering from the skin to the bone in an image (Note that direct X-rays are
needed to activate this mode.)
II : A mode that is activated in a stable manner even if there are no direct X-rays.
III : A mode applied to contrast exposure.
IV : A mode that attaches importance to improved representation of soft tissue.
V : A mode that attaches importance to improved representation of areas where X-rays are difficult to be
penetrated.
VI : Neuro analysis mode applied when variations become large on the shape of a histogram.
VII : Neuro analysis mode applied when the position of a region of interest changes on a histogram.
3 Semi Fix - Parameters used in SEMI AUTO mode and FIX mode -
TYPE ..... Determines layout and size of a photometric area preset in SEMI AUTO mode.
I : A 10cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment.
II : A 7cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment.
III : A 5cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment
III' : A 5cm square located at a position other than the center of an image when it is divided into nine
portions up-and-down and right-and-left.
IV : A special area determined for the chest.
L value........ A logarithmic value (L value) representing the width of an X-ray dose to be recorded as an image in
SEMI AUTO and FIX modes.
S value....... A center point (S value) pre-determined in FIX mode for recording as an Image.
* Default settings for this mode can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change default settings by the
currently used mode.

• Image processing parameters for mammography use
The tables below describe the parameters when an image is output to film with Dmax set to 4.0 and at standard
luminance.
Recently, mammography images are read on a high-luminance view box, and in consideration of the luminance
of the view box and the image pixel sampling rate, parameters are made available accordingly following an
appropriate combination of those two factors.
The following are the parameters for outputting an image to film with Dmax set to 4.0 when a high- or standard-
luminance view box is used.

How to Read This Chapter
How to read descriptions included in this chapter is described below.

AP/PA
Menu Description
2 Exposure Menu
1 Study Menu
The Study Menu is an aggregate of menus to be used for exposure of a series of study.
The Exposure Menu included in a Study Menu, as well as order of performing studies is determined by the
default, which, however, can be changed in the User Utility.
(For details, see the descriptions related to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system.)
• 2on1 format settings selected for a Study Menu
When exposures are performed with a selected Study Menu, images obtained by the two exposures are
displayed on a 26×36cm film. Images displayed in such a layout are named a 2on1 format. This image display
format is used for Study Menus, such as Right- and Left-Breasts Spot, Right- and Left-Breasts 2R and Right-
and Left-Breasts MLO. If a single exposure menu, but not marked with “(2on1 format)”, is selected, 2on1
format images will not be displayed. The Study Menu field is grayed out, if there is only one exposure menu.
2 Exposure Menu
The Exposure Menu is the name of a single study such as “L MAMMOGRAPHY, CC”.
* Default settings for each exposure menu can be changed using the User Utility.
3 MPM Code
The MPM Code is a four-digit code number assigned for the purpose of management of exposure menus. The
MPM Code determines EDR (a function that corrects image density and contrast automatically) and image
processing conditions to be applied. If the assigned MPM Code is the same, images will be output according to
the same conditions even though the Exposure Menu used is not the same.
ote that when an exposure menu (for example, L MAMMOGRAPHY, CC: MPM Code 0329) was subject to
N
change of image processing conditions, the change will affect all the menus concerned if there is an exposure
menu of the same MPM code (such as R MAMMOGRAPHY, CC). Should you wish to change the image
processing condition only for the specified menu, change the 3rd-digit figure to make a different MPM code so
that specific conditions are set up appropriately.
1st digit : Represents an exposure technique to be used. (ex. 0: General exposure, 1: Contrast exposure, etc.)
2nd digit : Represents an anatomical part to be exposed. (ex. 3: Breast)
3rd digit : Any alphanumeric selected from 0 to 9 and A to F. Even if a figure in this digit is changed, EDR will
not be affected.
4th digit : Any alphanumeric that determines EDR.
4 AP/PA - Flipping setting for images to be output -
AP : Outputs an image as is without processing it.
PA : Outputs an image flipped horizontally.
: Outputs an image rotated by 180 degrees.
AP
: Outputs an image flipped vertically.
* Default settings can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change default settings by the currently used
mode.
5 Menu Description
The Menu Description describes anatomical parts and exposure techniques suited to a specific exposure menu.
Brief precautions to be observed when performing exposures are also included. For details on those precautions
to be observed, see the Operation Manual for the system.
• When creating a new menu
A new menu can be created using the User Utility. (For how to create a new menu, see the descriptions
related to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system.)
For a special exposure that cannot be handled by default exposure menus, the menu can be added as
necessary. When doing so, select an exposure menu that involves similar images. See the descriptions related
to the User Utility in the Operation Manual for the system to make sure that the MPM code to be used for the
new menu is not used, and then determine proper image processing conditions. Also confirm that AP or PA is
selected correctly.

EDR Mode Table
EDR mode (auto sensitivity adjustment system) applied to exposure menus pre-registered in the system
are described below.

Type
Type
L value : A logarithmic value showing the range of X-ray dose when making an exposure.
1 EDR Mode
EDR mode consists of AUTO mode, SEMI AUTO mode, and FIX mode.
A (AUTO mode) : A mode which adjusts density and contrast automatically.
MFP Parameters (Multi-Objective Frequency Processing)

(S and L values are dependent on this mode.)
S (SEMI AUTO mode) : A mode where the dynamic range (L value) of X-ray dose to be recorded as an
image has been determined, and the center point (S value) used for the purpose of
image recording is decided based on the average X-ray dose that enters the
preset photometric area so that the density is adjusted automatically.
F (FIX mode) : A mode where the range of X-ray dose to be recorded as an image has been
determined.
* Default settings for this mode can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change the mode type currently
being used.
2 Auto - Parameters used in AUTO mode -

PRIEF (Pattern Recognizer for Iris of Exposure Field) .....
This is a generic denomination of processing that recognizes split exposures and irradiated field
automatically. PRIEF includes the following technique types:
- : Does not recognize split exposures and irradiated field. (SEMI AUTO mode and type IV described below.)
1 : Does not recognize split exposures and judges a rectangular area as an irradiated field.
1S : Recognizes split exposures and judges individually recognized areas as rectangular irradiated fields.
2 : Recognizes irradiated field of a breast.
4 : Does not recognize split exposures and judges a protrusive area as an irradiated field.
4S : Recognizes split exposures and judges individually recognized areas as protrusive irradiated field. (normal
mode)
4* : Judges a protrusive area as an irradiated field by split areas determined.
AN : Auto neck algorithm
SP : Activates AUTO mode based on a specially determined area, irrespective of the image size specified by DR
equipment.
TYPE ..... A type of technique for histogram or neuro analysis subjected after PRIEF processing.
I : A mode that captures regions covering from the skin to the bone in an image (Note that direct X-rays are
needed to activate this mode.)
II : A mode that is activated in a stable manner even if there are no direct X-rays.
III : A mode applied to contrast exposure.
IV : A mode that attaches importance to improved representation of soft tissue.
V : A mode that attaches importance to improved representation of areas where X-rays are difficult to be
penetrated.
VI : Neuro analysis mode applied when variations become large on the shape of a histogram.
VII : Neuro analysis mode applied when the position of a region of interest changes on a histogram.
3 Semi Fix - Parameters used in SEMI AUTO mode and FIX mode -
TYPE ..... Determines layout and size of a photometric area preset in SEMI AUTO mode.
I : A 10cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment.
II : A 7cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment.
III : A 5cm square located at the center of an image exposed by DR equipment
III' : A 5cm square located at a position other than the center of an image when it is divided into nine
portions up-and-down and right-and-left.
IV : A special area determined for the chest.
L value........ A logarithmic value (L value) representing the width of an X-ray dose to be recorded as an image in
SEMI AUTO and FIX modes.
S value....... A
center point (S value) pre-determined in FIX mode for recording as an Image.
* Default settings for this mode can be changed using the User Utility. It is also possible to change default settings by the
currently used mode.

Gradation processing ..... Processing that controls image gradation.
GA : Adjusts contrast appropriately. As the numeric value increases, the contrast becomes enhanced.
GT : A non-linear gradation curve.
GC : Center of a density when the GA value is changed.
GS : Adjusts density appropriately. As the numeric value increases, the density appears enhanced.
Frequency processing ..... Processing that controls the image sharpness.
MRB : A factor that determines the range of frequency bands when applying image enhancement. As the
numeric value decreases, the range of frequency bands is widened toward lower-frequency bands.
(See the figure below.)
MRT : A non-linear curve that changes the degree of enhancement according to the image density. This
parameter enhances specific density areas.
Example : F : Applies enhancement uniformly in all density areas.
R : Applies stronger enhancement as density rises.
MRE : This factor adjusts the degree of enhancement.
DR compression processing .... Processing to make image density areas that appear white or blackened easily
visible, without affecting the density in the region of interest on an image.
MDB : A factor that determines the smoothing mask for DR compression processing.
MDT : A factor that determines density areas where DR compression processing is to be applied.
MDE : A factor that determines the degree of DR compression processing to be applied.
