1.4 Precaution for Using the AWS
• ‌Breast implants may affect exposure because they block x-rays and shift breast tissue. When the
exposure mode is set to Intelligent mode (iAuto or iSemi), the breast implant region is recognized
automatically, and the exposure conditions are configured. However, the exposure conditions may
be insufficient due to the outcome of the recognition. In such cases, use Manu (manual) mode. 1
• ‌Read the Operation Manual thoroughly and specify the optimum exposure parameters. An exposure
with the incorrect parameters may result in insufficient image quality.
• ‌If the appropriate image processing parameters are not configured, the density or contrast may not
be appropriate. For example, if the dynamic range (DR) compression is too strong, black and white
inversion may occur, and if the frequency enhancement is too strong, noise may be noticeable.
Understand the image processing and parameters properly before adjusting parameters.
• ‌The image processing that calculates S/L values is performed by making analysis for each image.
Therefore, the S/L values vary among the breast images for the same patient, so that, the density
and contrast may differ between the left and right breasts or the CC and MLO views.
• Be sure to check the image before delivering it.
• ‌When making an exposure with the compression plate being removed, make sure to use “Manu
(manual)” mode. Using “iAuto (intelligent full auto)”, “iSemi (intelligent semi auto)”, “Auto (full
auto)” or “Semi (semi auto)” mode may result in insufficient image quality.
• ‌Make sure that the AWS has enough hard disk space. The AWS hard disk is not for storing
diagnostic images. When the AWS hard disk space is running low, images will be automatically
deleted from the oldest. The auto-deletion of images can be avoided by locking studies and
exposure menus. For details, see “FDR-3000AWS Reference Guide”.
The system identifies and manages images by the date and time they were read. Make sure that the
correct date and time are displayed when the AWS has started.
The read images with the wrong date and time may be rewritten in their storage destination.
If the date and time are wrong, set the correct information.
• ‌Do not install or uninstall any of the software or hardware preinstalled in the AWS. The AWS is
preinstalled with the appropriate software or hardware. If other software or hardware is added,
various operational errors may result.
• ‌Before operating the AWS, make sure that the monitor has appropriate brightness (light intensity).
If not, contact our official dealer. Regularly adjust the monitor settings to keep optimum display of
images read by the AWS. Between the regular adjustments, do not change the settings. If a
fluorescent tube for monitor backlight is used for over a prolonged period, brightness (light
intensity) of the monitor decreases because the lifetime of the fluorescent tube is running out. In
this case, use of the monitor adjustment tool or service by our official dealer is recommended.
• ‌For monitor operations (locking and unlocking the buttons, adjusting the brightness of the display,
and etc.), refer to the operation manual supplied with the monitor.
• ‌Do not operate the AWS during an exposure. Otherwise, images may not be read correctly or the
read images may be processed based on incorrect exposure menu data.
• ‌After inputting a marker, make sure that it is correctly displayed on the monitor. The marker frame
is displayed only on the monitor, not on the image output on film. Note that the marker may
become invisible depending on the color of its character or background.
• When disposing of the AWS, completely delete all personal information.
• ‌Do not connect devices other than those designated by FUJIFILM. Do not remove the cable
currently connected and connect other cables to this system.
• ‌Verify the overlay items for an image before output. Particular care should be taken for the patient
information.
• ‌If patient information is modified after an exposure, check the information on the output film or in
the storage server.
• Finish a study after making exposures for all exposure menus.
• ‌Do not perform operations, which are not related to exposure processing or may cause system down
or shutdown, until an image is displayed after an exposure. Otherwise, the exposed image will be lost.
• ‌Set the exposure conditions appropriately. Be sure to check these conditions before making an
exposure.

1-13
• ‌Do not mistake the right- and left-side of the exposed image. When making an exposure, place lead
characters or input a marker by using the AWS function and make sure that the direction of the
image and the display on the marker are the same. Make also sure that the lead characters or the
marker is correctly displayed on the monitor after setting it.
• When Windows 10 is used, the hard disk can be encrypted including the areas for OS and files to
1 prevent information leakage due to theft and loss of the personal computer.
The encryption covers the C and I drives in the HDD or SSD mounted in the personal computer.
For the encryption, contact our official dealer.
The encryption for the HDD or SSD issues a recovery key. It is your responsibility to keep the
recovery key securely.
When starting up the personal computer, you may be required to enter the recovery key.
• Any part of the personal computer is replaced due to failures.
• Any malfunction of the computer hardware and any security event occurred on the OS due to
unexpected changes in the configuration.
If the recovery key is lost, the personal computer cannot be started up.
■ If you are required to enter the recovery key when starting up the personal computer
If the following screen appeared to ask you to enter the recovery key when you start up the
personal computer, enter the 48-digit numeric password that is written in the key and press the
[Enter] key to unlock the computer.
If you are still required to enter the recovery key when starting up even after performing the
operations above, contact our official dealer.

4.1 Receiving Studies
When inputting patient information, both the keyboard and screen keyboard are available. Patient information
can also be selected from the database for registered patients. In addition, studies can be received with a
magnetic card reader (optional), as well as by receiving patient information (optional) from the devices that
the AWS can communicate with through the DICOM MWM services. This chapter describes how to input
patient information with the keyboard and screen keyboard as well as to select it from the database for
registered patients.
4.1.1 Inputting Patient Information

The patient information can be input in the “Patient Information Input window”.
All of the patient information items need not be input necessarily. Input in either patient ID or
patient name in order to proceed to the next operation.
4 The patient information (either patient ID or patient name is necessarily input.), once received, is
automatically registered to the database. The previously registered patient information can be
called up from the database and displayed in the “Patient Information Input window” as desired.

■ To retrieve patient information by inputting part of a keyword
Even if the input string in each item does not agree with the registered string completely, the
retrieval processing is valid (This function is called fuzzy retrieval).
A fuzzy retrieval processing is not valid for date of birth. In case of using patient ID for a fuzzy
retrieval, inputting “ * (for characters of any length)” or “ % (for a single character)” is required
as a wildcard. The following cases are examples for fuzzy retrieval using patient ID.
Example 1: Retrieving all patients whose patients IDs are set to “2” and “3” in the second and
third digits and range from “0” to “9” in the first digit
Input “?12*” in the “Patient ID field”.
Example 2: R etrieving all patients named “HANAKO”
Input “HANAKO” in the “Patient’s Name field”.
4
Sample of a fuzzy search performed by inputting “HANAKO” in the “Patient’s Name field”
When the hit patient information result is only one, it will be displayed in the “Patient
Information Input window” automatically after the completion of retrieval processing. By fuzzy
retrieval, the information of more than one patient may be listed. In such a case, the “Patient
Information Selection box” will be displayed after the completion of retrieval processing.

padding value setting becomes enabled when reading back a medium.
For information on the exposure menu items that allow the calculation or confirmation of the
pixel padding value, see “FDR-3000AWS Reference Guide”.
• ‌If the size of the images delivered exceeds the capacity, set during installation, of the
selected destination folder, the drive is automatically mounted and the images are stored in a
new folder. The name of the new folder is the name of the selected destination folder to
which “-XXX” has been added (“XXX” is a number between 002 and 999).
• Match the status of optional software related to image processing for both image writing and
image reading devices when you read back media. Otherwise, the view of image differs from
each other.
• Do not read the studies on a medium back on the FDR-3000AWS, if the version of the AWS
is earlier than that of when the studies were stored with the Media Storage Software.
• Depending on the number of images stored on the medium, the reconstruction process may
take several tens of minutes.
• For an unformatted blank medium, a message saying “The file cannot be handled because
itis unformatted or illegally formatted.” appears.
In such an instance, check the medium and format it accordingly.
• If an error message is displayed during USB memory or external USB hard disk drive
reconstruction, the USB memory or external USB hard disk drive may be write-protected.
After confirming that the USB memory or external USB hard disk drive is not write-protected,
perform reconstruction again. If the same message appears even after retry, contact our
official dealer.

B-3
Portable Data for Imaging (PDI) Software
This is a software application used to write AWS image-related information on CD-R, DVD-R and DVD±RW
according to IHE portable data for imaging (PDI) integration profiles.
NOTE
• PDI writing can be operated by using the following hardware:
- Internal drives having the function to write on CD-R, DVD-R and/or DVD±RW.
• Image-related information can be written in PDI format on the media satisfying the following
conditions:
- Writable CD-R, DVD-R and DVD±RW
- Unformatted CD-R, DVD-R and DVD±RW
• Only one PDI can be created at one operation.
• If the image data to be written exceed the capacity of a single medium, the PDI processing
cannot be performed. In such a case, the AWS displays a message prompting to reduce the
amount of data and retry writing.
• When the “PDI Wizard” is displayed, the “Delivered List window” cannot be operated.
• It is not possible to write rejected images. If the image-related information including rejected
images only is selected on the “Delivered List window”, such information will not be displayed
in the “Patient List window”.
• When selecting the multiple patients’ image-related information, “Multiple patients are being
selected.” appears. There will be no problem in writing the information, however, confirm the
patient’s name in the “Patient List window”.
• Do not press the Eject button of the personal computer drive or operate other programs during
writing. These operations may prevent correct writing.
• The cancellation of writing is not possible in the “Processing Writing window”.
• If an error occurs and writing cannot be continued, a message dialog box is displayed. Select
to close the “PDI Wizard” and return to the “Delivered List window”, and then start the
writing procedure over.
• Do not display the written image-related information on the AWS.
Network Image Search Software

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.
NOTE
• Images printed using this software can be available for reference only.
• ‌Film format and other settings may not be reflected correctly when images are printed using
the exposure unit not covered by warranty.
• ‌It is not allowed to use the information input from a BCR (barcode reader) or MCR
(magneticcard reader), instead of using information input on the keyboard.
• 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).
• ‌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.”
• ‌If the search results contain linear images, these images cannot be acquired or displayed. In
such a case, the following message is displayed.
“Failed in processing to acquire studies. Studies include images that cannot be displayed.
Check only images that can be displayed.”
Image Browse Software

When the SYNAPSE is connected on the network, the Image Browse Software allows images stored in the
SYNAPSE to be displayed or operated on the AWS.
To use the Image Browse Software, you are required to have a SYNAPSE Viewer license.
NOTE
Study information that does not comply with the specification of the Console cannot be retrieved.
Referral Viewing Function Software

The Referral Viewing Function Software is designed to perform searches for studies stored on the server and to
acquire and display images from those studies on the AWS screen and another monitor (hereafter referred to as the
“option monitor”).
NOTE
• If the AWS has failed to start up, the Referral Viewing Function Software is not activated
either.
• If the Referral Viewing Function Software terminates abnormally, a message appears on the
monitor of the AWS. However, the AWS can be used continuously. To activate the Referral
Viewing Function Software again, restart the personal computer.
• When the optional Precise Enlargement Function Software is installed along with the Referral
Viewing Function Software, the settings at the time of installation determine which software
appears on the option monitor when the AWS is started up.
• Either “Patient ID” or “Patient’s name” must be entered.
• “No. of Data” includes information not only on the number of image data but also on DICOM
Structured Reporting (SR), etc. The type and number of data contained vary depending on
the system configuration.
Example: If a study containing images of 4 exposures is stored on the server temporarily via
CAD equipment, “5“ is displayed in the “No. of Data” field at the time of acquisition of this
study, since the number of images is 4 and SR is 1.
• It is not possible to obtain or display images from DICOM Service Class studies that are
incompatible with the Referral Viewing Function Software. If images cannot be acquired or
image processing has failed, the “Error Screen” is displayed for all the images in a study.
• The density or contrast adjustment on the AWS main unit only allows the adjustment of the
GA or GS value. To adjust density or contrast, adjust it visually.

B-5
Retake Analysis Software
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, misexposure log, and mis-exposure images saved in
the AWS.
NOTE
• The Retake Analysis Software is available only for the user who has logged in the AWS as an
administrator.
• When selecting the destination for the calculation result, do not select the C drive of the
AWS, since it is for system use.
Patient ID Auto Convert Software

The Patient ID Auto Convert software is designed to enable batch data conversion that gives complete patient
information to screening studies performed with temporary patient information.
Precise Enlargement Function Software

The Precise Enlargement Function Software is designed to display the same image as that on the AWS screen on
another monitor (hereafter referred to as the “option monitor”) for more detailed image display.
NOTE
• If the AWS has failed to start up, the Precise Enlargement Function Software is not activated either.
• If the Precise Enlargement Function Software terminates abnormally, a message appears on the
monitor of the AWS. However, the AWS can be used continuously. To activate the Precise
Enlargement Function Software again, restart the personal computer.
• When the optional Referral Viewing Function Software is installed along with the Precise
Enlargement Function Software, the settings at the time of installation determine which software
appears on the option monitor when the AWS is started up.
Region of Interest (ROI) Measurement Software

The ROI Measurement Software is designed to manage image quality by measuring the mean pixel value and other
data values in an ROI that is specified in an exposed image.
NOTE
• This software should not be used for any purpose other than the management of image quality.
• For the FDR-3000AWS, wait until a 50μm image is input, and then start the ROI Measurement
Software. Otherwise, an error message is displayed.
• The layout of image properties display area and the measurement results display area is
different depending on the direction of the monitor.
• If you select a size while an ROI is already displayed, the ROI will be deleted.
• If you select “Exit” from the pull-down menu, the ROI Measurement Software quits, and the
AWS display returns.
• If an ROI is extremely small, the displayed coordinates may overlap. If this occurs, the
coordinates can be viewed in the ROI information field at the bottom of the screen.
• If you left-click the mouse at the edge of the image (at a location where an ROI of the selected
size cannot be displayed in its entirety), the ROI is automatically created at a position where it
can be displayed with the selected size. Note that the position where you left-click the mouse
does not become the starting point in this case.

• If you move the mouse cursor to a point beyond the display range of the image while holding
down the mouse button and then release the button, an ROI is created only within the display
range.
• Each information of the created ROI is within the following margins of error:
-S tarting and ending point coordinates: 0.05 mm or less
- Width (width of the ROI) and Height (height of the ROI): 0.05 mm or less
-A rea (area of the ROI): 0.05 mm2 or less
- Mean (mean pixel value): 0.0005 or less
-M edian (median pixel value): 0.05 or less
-S tandard Deviation: 0.0005 or less
• To cancel creating an ROI, create it first, right-click the mouse, and then select “Exit” from the
displayed menu.
• Measurement results and an ROI are not saved.
• Compared to the images acquired in software version 3.2 or earlier of the AWS, the
measurement results of Mean (mean pixel value), Median (median pixel value), and Standard
Deviation are quadrupled in version 4.0 or later.
QA Measurement Software
The QA Measurement Software is designed to measure the distance between two points on a captured image for locating
the calcified areas or determining a position for additional exposures.
NOTE
• The unit of distance is mm or inch, depending on the settings at the time of installation.
• The measured distance is within the following margins of error:
- 0.005 mm or less when displayed in mm
- 0.005 inch or less when displayed in inch
• ‌If, while pressing down the left button, you move the cursor outside of the image display area
and then release the button, the line segment that is set will consist of the part that lies within
the image display area.
‌ however, you have magnified the image until it appears larger than the image display area,
If,
then the line segment extends outside of the image display area.
• ‌In the normal exposure, the distance between two points is measured on the image
projected on the Flat Panel Detector (FPD).
• ‌In the magnification exposure, the image projected on the FPD is corrected using the
magnification ratio, and then the distance between two points on the image is measured.
• ‌In the magnification exposure, the magnification ratio for the image projected on the FPD is
180%. (The plane 30 mm above the magnification exposure table is specified as the
magnification ratio of 100%.)
• A line segment cannot be moved outside the image.
• ‌The magnification level for each mouse click and the maximum magnification level depend
on the settings at the time of installation.
• Measurement results and line segments cannot be saved.

B-7
Free Layout Print Software
The Free Layout Print Software is designed to lay out images of the same study freely.
NOTE
• ‌The image quality of printed film using this Software, which is for a reference use only, is inferior to
that of printed film using the DICOM Print Software. Do not use the former printed film for diagnosis.
• Note that the image quality of printed film varies depending on the size of the laid out images.
Breast Density Measurement Software

Breast Density Measurement Software is intended for 2D exposure and Tomosynthesis exposure and calculates breast
density information from captured images and then displays and outputs the information.
NOTE
• ‌When the calculation results for breast density information are used for diagnosis, always
check the 2D image or Tomosynthesis image of each exposure direction (CC, MLO, etc.),
and then judge the breast category of the subject comprehensively.
• ‌Exposures for breast density measurement are as follows. Calculations are not performed for
other exposures. Furthermore, calculations are not possible for images captured in the past.
MPM code Target/Filter Grid
2D exposure menu 03X8 or 03X9* W/Rh IN
Tomosynthesis exposure menu 23X0* W/Al OUT
*”X” is an arbitrary setting character
• ‌The breast density information calculated by this software may change for various reasons,
including exposure conditions, positioning, and the conditions of the subject. In particular,
the calculation results for breast density information may be inappropriate with the following
exposures.
- When the entire breast does not fit within a single image (split exposures, damaged images,
CV exposure, etc.)
- When taking an image of a breast that includes an implant or other artificial object
- When taking an image of a breast that includes a large tumor lesion (because it is difficult
to distinguish between the mammary gland and tumor)
- When taking an image of a breast that is undergone a partial mastectomy (sufficient
pressure expansion is difficult, which makes it easy to miss part of the mammary gland)
- When the frame of the compression plate is on top of the breast
• ‌Because breast density information is calculated for each exposure image, the calculated
value may differ even for an image of the subject taken at the same time. When 2D exposure
and Tomosynthesis exposure are carried out at the same time, refer to the breast density
information calculated from the 2D image which is less affected by scattered radiation.
• ‌When the mammary gland of the breast is small, such as with a fatty breast, the “mammary
gland region” cannot be identified, and the entire breast may be judged as the “mammary
gland region”. In such cases, the calculated breast density information will be the same value
regardless of the settings of the region of interest.

Dynamic Visualization II Software
This image processing software has automatic density correction processing, frequency processing, and dynamic range
compression processing to improve image quality.
On the AWS screen, Dynamic Visualization II is called “DYN”.
NOTE
• You cannot switch Dynamic Visualization II to GP (Gradation Processing), RP (Spatial
Frequency Processing), DRC (Dynamic Range Control Processing), or MFP (Multi-objective
Frequency Processing).
• This software can render signals of a region saturated by conventional image processing
(standard image processing and multi-frequency processing) by performing dynamic range
(DR) compression processing so that the whole breast can be displayed. In a radiation dose
area in which the amount of penetrating x-rays is extremely low, such as a breast implant,
there may be both signals and noise.
• The S and L values calculated by this software and conventional image processing (standard
image processing and multi-frequency processing) are different.
With this software, the latitude of the image is controlled by comparing fat, which has a small
x-ray absorption difference with breast, to the skin line so that the density of the breast and
fat is appropriate. As a result, the L value tends to be lower.
Because this software controls the density of the breast section so that it is the same level of
conventional image processing, if the L value is lower, the latitude of the high-density range
narrows, and the center of latitude moves to the low-density range (and the S value becomes
larger).
