Level Level Guidance
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio
(cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed
RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location where the iDR is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance levels above, the iDR should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional b measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating the iDR.
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

1. Introduction
1.1
Overview
The iDR (iCRco’s patented integrated Digital Radiography system) is a sealed Digital
Radiography system that uses a high resolution phosphor to capture high quality images.
The photostimulated luminescence is collected, detected, sampled, and digitized. The image data is then digitally processed according to exam and user-specified parameters and displayed on a monitor to confirm patient positioning. The image can optionally be printed by a hard copy device (such as laser printer, or dry printer), or transmitted to a workstation, optical disk file, or other destination. The device performs lossless compression of the image data for efficient transmission.
The Image Reader is cassetteless because the Image Plate is built into the iDR. The imaging plate is exposed via conventional X-ray devices. The X-ray irradiated IP is stationary and the scan head moves from the exposure position to the reading position, and images are read. After reading, the IP is erased, and the scan head is moved to the exposure position again. The iDR collects 16 Bit data that is converted to a DICOM 3.0 image and can be stored, viewed, and manipulated.
This document contains a basic operational overview of the iDR, including the driving software applications, cassette cleaning & handling, and hardware installation. A general description of the system’s functionality and user interfaces are included. This document is intended for end users who need to understand the basic operation of the iDR.

2. Pre-Installation
2.1
Voltage Requirements
The DR unit can be purchased with either an AC or DC power supply. Refer to Figures
3.1 and 3.2 on page 5 to distinguish the difference between to the two. iCRco employs CE
certified medical grade power supplies. See Section 2.3 on page 3 for UPS requirements.
2.1.1
AC Voltage Requirements
The DR unit incorporates an international switching power supply. The DR unit is supplied with an AC power supply that allows the unit to work between 90 to 253V AC 50/60Hz. For international units, a local power cord must be used that can handle the power requirements of the unit. A 13A/125V power cord is sufficient.
Note The power input module will be set to the proper voltage setting at the factory.
2.1.2
DC Voltage Requirements
The DR unit is supplied with a DC power supply that allows the unit to work between 18 to
36 VDC, 4.5 Amps (maximum), and 450 Watts. iCRco provides a medical power converter.
Do not substitute or switch the power converter. Substituting or switching the power converter will void the warranty. Contact iCRco Tech Support to obtain a replacement power converter.
2.2
Environmental Requirements
The iDR should not be placed in a room with a film processor present. This will void the warranty. The humidity and temperature limits are 20 to 80% non-condensing, and 15
◦
F to 95
◦
F (15

Another factor to consider prior to installing the iDR is dust and particulates in the environment. The iDR is designed to be resistant to dust and particulates that may be present at the installation site.
Installation of the iDR near high magnetic fields may cause the CR unit to malfunction. The iDR should not be placed in a room with an MRI, CT or any other equipment that produces high magnetic fields.
The room should have good ventilation.
Note
It is recommended that the unit be installed and operated in a clean, dry environment.

2.3
Connectivity and Power Supply
The room needs to have wall power and the iDR should not be used with an extension cord.
Use at least a 1300VA (780W) uninterruptible power supply (UPS) between the wall power and the iDR. A network connection is required for technical support. Alternatively, the user must have a phone/fax line that can be connected to the PC as a minimum to comply with
iCRco warranty terms.
2.4
Power Switch Location
The power switch for the DR unit is located on the left hand side of the unit, near the power plug.

6. Theory of Operation
6.1
Product Overview
The iDR produces a diagnostic quality, 16 bit image from a medical grade storage-phosphor image plate. The optical assembly provides a flying spot laser with a focal spot size of 80 microns. The laser scans across the plate and data is captured at a given rate. Each sample is reassembled to create an image. The capture sampling rate can be modified to create images with resolutions from 100 microns (250 DPI) to 200 microns (120 DPI). The unit can scan images up to 35 cm x 48 cm. The laser spot focused to 80 microns is moved back and forth across an imaging plate as the plate is moved through the digitizer. The resultant
Digital X-ray can be viewed, manipulated and stored and even printed to a film or paper image. The images are stored and manipulated using the standard medical image format
(DCM) and the medical imaging transfer protocol, DICOM 3.0.
6.2
System Configuration
6.2.1
Optical Beam Path
The iDR contains a 664 nm 15 mW laser, Lens optic and four mirrors, a scanning galvanometer, and a light collection system.
The round laser spot is focused through a focusing lens to produce a round output beam.
The beam is deflected by a galvanometer scanner to produce the scan across the plate. The folding mirrors bend the beam and the focused laser spot travels vertically down the plate as it moves horizontally across the scan head.
In order to reach the plate, the beam passes through an integrating collection cylinder. As it hits the surface of the plate, the red light from the focused laser stimulates blue emission from the image plate in direct proportion to the X-ray energy stored in the image plate as a result of the exposure. This blue light is collected by the integrating cylinder. The red light is blocked from reaching the sensors by blue glass filters.
The collected blue light is detected by photomultiplier sensors, which convert the photons into a signal.
This signal is then logarithmically amplified, corrected for spatial variations in the system sensitivity across the width of the screen, and then digitized by an A/D converter.

Galvonometer Board
The Galvo Servo board contains a feedback amplifier that results in extremely accurate control of the mirror mounted on the shaft of the scanning galvanometer.
The galvo motor shaft oscillates back and forth through an arc of approximately 30 degrees at a rate of 148Hz. A small mirror attached to the shaft intercepts the static laser beam and sweeps (scans) it across the width of the image plate.
6.2.4
Indicator Board
Two LED indicator lamps are used to signal scanner power ON and SCAN status. The
SCAN indicator is turned on only while a scan is in process; it also blinks whenever the plate is in the optical path.

Analog to Digital Conversion
During the scanning process signals are generated by the PMT sensors and transmitted to the computer through a USB 2.0 interface cable. A trigger signal generated by the laser spot is transmitted to the PMT board to trigger a line capture. Image is assembled from lines of captured data that is held in registers and translated into a 16 bit raw source file. There is no way to pause the data capture process. Cancel will cause the machine to stop and return to home position. Data on the plate will be lost.
Note If an image is cancelled during the scan process, the plate will have to be erased again to ensure that the plate is entirely erased.

7. Diagnostics
7.1
Overview
If a system failure occurs, it is necessary to diagnose the cause before beginning the repair.
This section describes the diagnostic tools and techniques used to isolate various types of system failures. This chapter covers the most common failures and their fixes. If the user is unsure how to proceed with troubleshooting, please contact Technical Support.
The cause of some failures may be obvious. In these cases, the Service Engineer may proceed directly to the repair. Before beginning an investigation, it is a good practice to record as much information about the current state of the system as possible. This information may include, but is not limited to, symptoms, conditions under which symptoms exist, voltages, settings, cleanliness, and visual state. Normal generic troubleshooting techniques apply. With knowledge of the system, isolate the failure to a particular subsystem. With knowledge of the subsystem, trace the symptom back to its cause. In many cases, failures are caused by lack of periodic maintenance and cleaning. If a system is known to be behind schedule for its maintenance and cleaning at the time of the failure, it is a good practice to clean and re-calibrate the system before extensive troubleshooting. In many cases this solves the problem or provides clues as to the cause.
!
WARNING This equipment is operated with hazardous voltages which can shock, burn, or cause death.

Using the Focus Tool for Hardware Diagnostics
The Focus tool is an efficient test that can provide the Service Engineer with valuable feed back regarding the functionality of the iDR’s hardware. There are a series of questions following the work instructions that are designed to help include/eliminate potential failures in the iDR’s subsystems.
1. Leave the Cassette out of the unit and close the bay door.
2. Open QPC XSCAN32, access the Scan interface, then click the Settings button on the
Scan interface.
3. Enter the password earl in the dialog box.
4. Click on the FOCUS tool Button along the bottom edge of the settings window.
5. A new window will come up, indicating the settings for the FOCUS tool. Use the standard settings in the focus tool. Click OK in the dialog box. This moves the carriage 4 inches into the unit, and begins to capture data.

6. If the unit is working correctly, you will see a red data line, moving as the data is passed to the PC, one line at a time. In the default configuration, the scale is 65,000 levels of gray along the vertical axis of the window, and pixel location along the horizontal axis of the window. The Data line will be between zero and 2,500. If the line is not between zero and 2,500, you may need to re-adjust the zero point of the scanner.
7. Open the dust cover of the iDR, the Data line should rise and lower slightly according to the position of the bay door. If the room is illuminated by high frequency fluorescent lights, the line may become sinusoidal (Wavy) and move away from the zero point.
What can we see by looking at the digital output of the iDR?
1. The unit must be capturing data because there is data being captured by the PC
2. The Laser is working because the laser moving past a start scan sensor tells the unit to start capturing data
3. The Start Scan sensor is working
4. The Galvanometer is working, swinging the laser back and forth
5. The Motor is working, moving the carriage 4 inches into the iDR
6. The unit is sensing light variations as the line is rising due to more light leaking into the scan head.
7. The electronics are functional, and the cables are connected properly
8. The unit’s amplifier is working, as is the ADC and the USB 2.0 interface on the unit

If the focus tool does not come up, what questions can we ask?
1. Is there power to the unit (Green Power light on and steady?, Orange scan light off, or on and blinking?)
2. Does the unit move before an error condition is seen? If so, motor is working and carriage is functioning. If not, several things can be wrong: No connection to PC, No power to Unit, bad USB cable.
3. Is there a NO DATA ACQUIRED error after the motor comes to rest at the scan position?
This indicates that the unit is not transmitting data to the PC. Please see Section 7.5
for more information.

Error Message: No Data Acquired
7.5.1
Failure Analysis 1
1. When turning on the CR, see if there is a pop-up message in the lower right hand corner of the Windows task bar stating “This USB device can perform faster if it is connected to a hi-speed USB 2.0 port.” If so:
• make sure the CR is plugged into a USB 2.0 port. Some older PCs only have USB
1.0 or 1.1 ports. These older variety of USB ports are not sufficient in speed to acquire data from the CR unit.
• make sure the BIOS does not have any options set for conserving power (especially on laptops). Sometimes the PC will not run the USB ports at their full potential to save power. Please consult the PC’s user manual for more information.

– Service Manual
• try unplugging the USB cable from the CR unit and then plugging it back in.
If the message does not appear try to scan. In some instances, turning the CR unit on with the USB cable plugged in causes Windows to recognize the device as USB 1.0. In some instances, unplugging and replugging the USB cable can correct this.
2. After clicking on the scan button, listen for the motor and see if the CR slide moves at all. If it does not move at all, then the motor controller board may be at fault.
• open the back of the CR unit (see Section 8.1 for instructions) and locate the
motor controller board on the lower left. The motor has cables directly connected to the board.
• look for either a red or green indicator light on the board. It may be covered by silicone, which can be removed.
• a green light on the motor controller board indicates that the board is in working condition, while a red light indicates a faulty board that will need to be replaced.
If the board needs replacement, please contact Technical Support.
3. Check the following:
• check the fuses on the power distribution board (see Section 8.8 for instructions)
• check that the laser and eraser lights turn on: With the slide away from the home position, see if the laser turns on (full beam from top to bottom). The laser beam must also overlap the trigger board behind the long mirror.
• if the laser does not turn on, check if the galvo mirror oscillates.
• if the galvo is on and the laser is not, wiggle the cable coming from the laser body to see if the laser turns on.
• follow the cable to the laser connector on the PMT board and make sure it is not loose. Unplug and replug the connector.
Note the slide must be away from the home position fro the laser to turn on.
• if the galvo does not turn on, check the galvo cables. Wiggle them, then unplug and replug the connectors.
4. If the galvo does not turn on, the galvo or PMT board may need to be replaced. If the galvo turns on the but the laser does not, replace or repair the laser
