Bad Pixel Cal

Error Log Diagnostics Image Calibration ConfigurationUtilities Home Exit

Quality

The bad pixel cal is used to detect bad pixels in the image receptor.

A bad pixel is a detector cell, which has a response very different from that of other cells subject to the
same dose. It thus provides no useful information, and appears as a white or black pixel on the image. The Bad
Pixel calibration is a process, which uses a number of acquired images to identify such cells and store their
positions in a Bad Pixel Map. This stored Bad Pixel Map will be referred to during normal applications
acquisitions. During the acquisition the IDC refers to this map to locate the bad pixels and replaces the bad
signal with the mean value of neighboring cells.

Tube tilt cal is used to determine the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position. An
exposure is made with the field coverage depth limited by anode cut-off (not by the rear
collimator blade); the measured field coverage depth is entered into the DMR, which can then
calculate the X-ray tube angle when in its reference position.

Collimator Cal

Error Log Diagnostics Image Calibration ConfigurationUtilities Home Exit

Quality

The purpose of collimator blade geometry calibration is to calibrate the X-ray field
and image receptor misalignment to be within regulatory specifications.
One exposure is taken to determine the angle between the front blade edge and the
image detector edge. This angle must be less than 0.1 degree. If it is not, instructions
are displayed to turn an adjustment screw by a calculated number of turns, or to remove
and remount the collimator. You must loosen 5 nuts in order to turn the thumbscrew. 2
in the front, 2 in the back and one next to the thumbscrew.
Once the front blade edge is parallel to the image detector edge, parallelism between
opposite blades, and perpendicularity between adjacent blades, are checked. This is
done without any more exposures being made. Opposite blades must be parallel within
0.5 degree. Adjacent blades must be perpendicular within 0.5 degree (angle between
adjacent blades must be between 89.5 and 90.5 degree).
(Depending on version of SM you are instructed to remove and remount the collimator if
parallelism, perpendicularity, or offset values are incorrect. Please see bottom note
before doing this)
(Before removing and remounting the collimator apply SN 4659)

Service Tip (Fork 167/004)

There had been a problem with some Seno DS’s

in which the carriage casting would short out the
“end-of-travel” top fork sensor (limit). This would
cause a 167/004 error on the gantry display.
The only way to correct this issue is to
mechanically drive the carriage casting off of the
top limit.
The top limit fork sensor would need to be either
moved, or the casting filed down to permit this
from happening again.

Detector Temp. Troubleshooting

Cooling System Theory of Operation (Normal power up operation)

In an attempt to regulate the detector temperature at 30°C +/-5°C, upon booting the IDC instructs the conditioner
to regulate it’s own temperature at 20°C or 26°C, depending on the detector revision (see table 1 on next page).
The conditioner itself uses closed-loop temperature regulation to maintain its target 20°C or 26°C operating
temperature. However, detector temperature regulation is not closed-loop, therefore, the actual detector
temperature is rarely at the exact 30°C value, even when the conditioner is operatingproperly. As long as
detector temperatures do not vary too much, this is not a problem.

Theory
CAN Bus

CAN Bus Theory

CAN is a serial data communications bus for real time applications. Data messages transmitted from any node do not contain
addresses of either the transmitting node or of the receiving node(s). The content of the message is labeled by an identifier that is
unique throughout the network. All the other nodes on the network receive the message and each performs an acceptance test on
the identifier to see if the message is relevant for that node. If the message is relevant it will be processed, otherwise it is ignored.

The identifier also determines the priority of the message. If two or more nodes compete for access to the bus at the same time, the
highest priority message will gain access and the lower priority messages are automatically transmitted in the next or subsequent
bus cycles, if more higher priority messages are waiting to be sent.

Message Frames

These are the normal frames used to carry data. They contain the following fields. This is a simplified description as the controller
takes care of the detail which is only of interest to those designing controllers.

SOF Start of Frame

MESSAGE ID Either 11 or 29 bits long depending on the chosen mode
RTR Remote Transmission Request = 0, see remote frames for non zero value
CONTROL Control Field This specifies the number of bytes of data to follow (0-8)
DATA Data Field
CRC This field contains a fifteen bit cyclic redundancy check code
ACK Acknowledge field an empty slot which will be filled by the receiving node on successful reception

Theory
Image Quality

IQ Tests
IQ Tools Composite Test
The composite test includes a number of measurements (described below), which are summarized to create an effective Quality Signature test. All measurements
are obtained from two images acquired in IQST conditions: bucky present; Rh/Rh; 30kV; 56mAs; IQST phantom in contact mode. The Modulation Transfer Function,
Resolution Non-Uniformity and Contrast are automatically measured in the first image. The chest wall distance can also be read in the first image.

Modulation Transfer Function Test

The objective of the Modulation Transfer Function Test is to measure the ability of the detector to reproduce spatial resolution. The MTF curve shows the form of the
spatial frequency filter due to the detection system. MTF values given at two typical spatial frequencies (in mammography, 2 and 5 lp/mm are typical frequencies)
are enough to characterize the whole MTF curve.

The Detective Quantum Efficiency

The objective of the DQE test is to measure the ability of the detector to reproduce the SNR of the input X-ray beam to the output image, as a function of size. The
DQE value expresses the ability of thre detector to detect low-contrast structures in a clinical image.

Resolution Non-Uniformity Test

The objective of the Resolution Non-Uniformity test is to measure the ability of the detector to ensure a uniform spatial resolution over the whole image. The RNU test
then reveals the heterogeneity of MTF over the detector field of view. The Resolution Non Uniformity is obtained by measuring on a single image the detector signal
response to a very fine mesh. The metallic mesh of the IQST phantom allows this response to be measured in various locations of the field of view.

Contrast test
The objective of the contrast test is to measure the ability of the system to detect low-contrast objects at two distinct signal levels. The measured contrast value
expresses the ability of the detector to distinguish small contrasts (see DQE test), the X-ray beam quality at the step wedge location, and the performance of the
bucky to eliminate scatter. The step wedge of the IQST phantom allows measurement of small contrasts at different attenuation levels. The step wedge is half-
covered by a small constant filtration. At each step, the signal is measured in both regions; contrast is computed from this small signal difference at each step of the
step wedge.

Conversion factor test

The objective of the Conversion factor test is to measure the sensitivity of the detector to a given input dose. The dose that was measured behind the IQST phantom
10cmx10cm free zone during the most recent Conversion Factor calibration is used as the input dose.

IQ Tools Noise Test

The objective of the noise test is to measure the noise levels in the image. Electronic noise is the component of noise due to the detection system. Pickup noise is
due to some external noise sources which interfere in the detection during the image readout, then creating line artifacts.

IQ Tools Mag Resolution Test

The objective of the Magnification Resolution test is to measure the ability of the system to reproduce spatial resolution in magnification mode.

IQ Tool Line Artifacts Test

The objective of the line artifact test is to measure line artifacts:

– parallel to chest wall, due to the variation of electronic gain every 2 columns.
– Perpendicular to chest wall, due to the anti-scatter grid.

Theory
Seno DS AOP Theory
(DS AOP tables vs. 2000D AOP tables)

The Senographe DS as opposed to the Senographe 2000D uses an improved image chain model and a more complete exploitation of the capabilities of
digital imaging. In particular, the new method steps away from the concept of constant dose imaging and toward constant image quality imaging, a step
that is facilitated by extended usage of the rhodium track of the x-ray tube. This allows for the evolution of AOP to take advantage of the properties
of the digital detector. (Senographe 2000D AOP look up tables were more aligned with the film/screen model)

The use of Rh/Rh with screen/film systems has been shown to provide dose reduction and image quality improvement for the thick/dense breast.
The increased operating range of the digital detector provides the possibility to operate over a range of image receptor dose levels and obtain the
benefits of Rh/Rh over a wider range of breast types.

The quanitity of energy at the image receptor can vary widely while maintaining the same image quality. This significantly differs from the film/
screen system, where the same optical density is required to ensure the same image quality

Unlike the situation with film, where one is constrained to operate at a dose to provide a necessary level of film density and a spectrum to maximize
contrast, with the digital detector one can operate over a wide range of dose level and still obtain adequate signal-to-noise ratio from the
detector and contrast-to-noise ratio in the acquired image. One can choose various [CNR, Dose] operating points to meet various imaging requirements.

The three operating modes of AOP -- CNT, STD, and DOSE -- retained the same names as used both in screen-film systems and the Seno DS, their
meanings have changed somewhat.

-CONTRAST mode, with priority to the highest image quality, associated with a higher dose, comparable to film/screen mammography
-STANDARD mode, giving equal weight to image quality and dose
-DOSE mode, delivering a moderate dose with some copromise on image quality

The new optimized tables provide an AGD to the population reduced by 30% (STD mode) to 50% (Dose mode), for comparable Image Quality, relative
to tables used in film/screen systems (Senographe DMR+ with MinR2000). Of particular interest is that the optimized tables drive to a more frequent
selection of the rhodium target. Rhodium is typically selected in more then 75% of cases, as determined by applying the tables to the distribution of
breast sizes ."

Section 1: Cooling System Theory of Operation:
Note: DPS = Detector Power Supply

Table-1: Conditioner Target Temperatures for different version detectors (see sticker on the detector to
determine its part number / version). Note: It can up to 20 minutes for conditioner to reach it’s
target temperature.
System operating mode Conditioner Target Temperature for specified detector
(Please note: this is the conditioner temperature,
not the detector panel temperature)
2224137 2224137-2
Full power-up / acquisition state 20°C +/-1° 26°C +/-1°
DMR console “off” (DMR shuts off DPS) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°
System “off” but wall breaker “on” (DPS is “off”) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°
Fault Condition (IDC or DMR shuts off DPS) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°

1.1) Normal power up operation,

In an attempt to regulate the detector temperature at 30°C +/-5°C, upon booting the IDC instructs the
conditioner to regulate it’s own temperature at 20°C or 26°C, depending on the detector revision
(see Table-1). The conditioner itself uses closed-loop temperature regulation to maintain its target 20°C or
26°C operating temperature. However, detector temperature regulation is not closed-loop, therefore, the
actual detector temperature is rarely at the exact 30°C value, even when the conditioner is operating
properly. As long as detector temperatures do not vary too much, this is not a problem.

1.2) Detector temperature too hot or cold conditions:

The detector contains 3 temperature sensors that are NOT mounted directly on the detector panel itself.
Therefore, the panel’s actual temperature is measured indirectly by applying regression formulas to the
sensor readings. The formulas used are specified in Section 1.3.

1.2.2) Error S84 “Image quality is degraded” in applications.

When the actual detector temperature is ≤25°C or ≥35°C, the AWS displays a pop-up message
"check image quality on current image" after an exposure. Additional exposures can be made
once the operator acknowledges the pop-up message by clicking it with the mouse. This pop-up
happens for every exposure. The good news is that clinical images have not shown any IQ
degradation in this condition, so it is safe to continue using the system. In addition to the pop-up
message, the DMR will show error S84 “Image quality is degraded” and the AWS service
[Link] file will indicate error code IDC 64, Detector Environment Failure.

NOTE: At least 2 out of the 3 sensors must reach the upper or lower temperature
threshold to cause the error.

Furthermore, if the panel temperature gets too hot (45°C), the IDC is notified and shuts down the
detector power supply to protect the detector and patient. In this fault condition, the conditioner
regulates at the 30°C temperature setting. The shutting down of the DPS will cause IDC-detector
communication errors in the error log.

1.2.2) "Temperature too high" in Service Mode,

If the detector reaches 35°C while calibrating the detector, a "temperature too high" message is
displayed and further detector calibration is prohibited.

1.3) IQ Degraded Trip Points (calculated from sensor temperatures).
The raw temperature sensor data (T1, T2 and T3) is recorded in an IDC file called “[Link]”. Using
the sensor data and the regression formulas below, the IDC can calculate the actual panel temperature.
When the calculated panel temperature of 2 of the 3 sensors reach ≤25°C or ≥35°C, an S84 “Image
Quality Is Degraded” error is generated on the DMR console and the calculated panel temperature is then
recorded in an error log called the “[Link]” file (logged as error IDC 64 Detector Environment Failed).
Note: Calculated panel temperatures will only be logged in the “[Link]” if a trip point has been reached.
See section 2.1 and 2.2 for information on how to view these logs.

Please note that the detector panel temperature readings based on regression formulas are most
accurate after detector temperature stabilization (~15 minutes).

As mentioned, temperature values are logged in an IDC file named “[Link]”, whereas the constants
used in the formulas below are found in an IDC filed named “[Link]”. The values stored in
[Link] depend on the type of detector installed (as determined by the “detector repair file”
installed on the system).

1.3.1) Trip Points for detector part number 2224137:

Panel temperature regression formulas

Actual Panel Temp calculated from T1 sensor temperature = 0.95(T1) - 2.9
Actual Panel Temp calculated from T2 sensor temperature = 0.95(T2) - 1.8
Actual Panel Temp calculated from T3 sensor temperature = 0.79(T3) + 9

Applying these formulas to the 3 temperature sensor values obtained, we can determine what the
sensor temperature is that corresponds to reaching the IQ degraded mode (≤25°C or ≥35°C panel
temperature):

T1 temp sensor ([Link] file):

29.4°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
39.9°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
T2 temp sensor:
28.2°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
38.8°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
T3 temp sensor:
20.2°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
32.9°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).

1.3.2) Trip Points For Detector Part number 2224137-2:

Panel temperature regression formulas

Actual Panel Temp calculated from T1 sensor temperature = 0.93(T1) – 3.62
Actual Panel Temp calculated from T2 sensor temperature = 0.91(T2) – 1.232
Actual Panel Temp calculated from T3 sensor temperature = 0.77(T3) + 2.93

T1 temp sensor ([Link] file):

30.7°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
41.6°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
T2 temp sensor:
28.8°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
39.9°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
T3 temp sensor:
28.6°C = 25°C actual panel temp (≤25°C IQ degraded mode trip point).
41.7°C = 35°C actual panel temp (≥35°C IQ degraded mode trip point).

Section 2: Troubleshooting Detector Temperature Problems.

2.1 How to view the [Link] file

Note: the AWS “[Link]” file contains the same error information seen the service desktop error log.
However, it is MUCH BETTER because it contains additional detailed information that can be very
important, such as detector panel temperature readings if a trip point is exceeded.

Open a command window, maximize its physical size, and type the following:

cd /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles ↵
more [Link] ↵

The following is an excerpted log entry at the time of power up. Please note that it is normal to see
detector calculated panel temperatures that are too cold (≤25°C) initially after power up.

,2003-02-25,[Link],IDC,64,Detector Environment
Failed,,WR,,Apollo,MonitoringTa,NS,,,,[AEController::RegulationTask]
Temperatures out of IQ range : 23.8 24.3 32.1,
\idc\host\ais\detector\apollo_en,1941

Note: if the regression formulas in section 1.3.1 are applied to the

[Link] readings for the same time frame (see example in section 2.2), you
will see that the calculated panel temperature values match the ones logged
here.

The following [Link] excerpt is an example of calculated panel temperatures being too warm. Note
how 2 of the 3 sensors have exceeded the ≥35°C trip point, thus logging the event. Examining this file is an
excellent way of tracking actual panel temperature issues (the regression formulas are applied).

2.2 How to obtain and view the [Link] detector temperature log.
This log records detector temperature sensor readings over time. It is a MUCH BETTER method of checking
detector temperature issues than simply telneting the idc to view the data. It also contains the conditioner
manifold temperature readings over time.

Open and command window on the AWS and type the following (respecting spaces -- spaces shown are a
single space. no space needed before the "return" ↵ ):.
pwd ↵ ( the current directory should be /export/home/sdc)
mkdir tmp ↵ (create a temporary directory)
cd tmp ↵ (change to temporary directory)
ftp idc ↵ (ftp into the idc)
login: ↵ (No login or password needed)
password: ↵
cd /idc ↵
bin ↵ (places you in binary mode)
get [Link] ↵ (copies [Link] to the /export/home/sdc/tmp directory)
bye ↵
more [Link] ↵ (displays contents of file)
OR
more /export/home/sdc/tmp/[Link] ↵
You can also view the file copied to floppy using “Wordpad” on your laptop/pc.
Look to see if 2 out of the 3 temperature sensors are outside of the IQ Degraded trip points (reference
section 1.3).

The following is an excerpt from a [Link] file from a system with a 2224137 detector. Therefore,
reference section 1.3.1 for sensor trip points for this style detector.

Readings at power up: Note the manifold temperature is 29.9ºC (30ºC is normal standby
temperature just prior to power up).

2003-02-25 [Link] Temp1 = 28.1ºC; Temp2 = 27.5ºC; Temp3 =

29.3ºC; 10K_RES = 0.0V; P5VA_SW = 4.7V; N5VA_SW = -4.4V; P17V_SW =
16.3V; N22V_SW = -21.1V; Manifold temperature = 29.9º

T1 and T2 are both less than the 25°C panel temperature trip point. This is normal to see at
power up so ignore.

Readings ~15 minutes after power up: Note the manifold temperature is 20.4ºC(20ºC is
normal operating temperature, conditioner is regulating properly !).

2003-02-25 [Link] Temp1 = 41.0ºC; Temp2 = 38.3ºC; Temp3 =

32.8ºC; 10K_RES = 0.0V; P5VA_SW = 4.6V; N5VA_SW = -4.4V; P17V_SW =
16.3V; N22V_SW = -21.1V; Manifold temperature = 20.4º

T1 has exceeded the 35°C trip point, while T2 and T3 are just under their trip points. This is not
good. It appears something is wrong.

Readings whereby 2 sensors have reached their trip points: Note the manifold temperature is
20.4ºC(20ºC is normal operating temperature, conditioner is regulating
properly !). The date listed is different than entries above.

2003-02-20 [Link] Temp1 = 41.2ºC; Temp2 = 38.4ºC; Temp3 =

33.1ºC; 10K_RES = 0.0V; P5VA_SW = 4.6V; N5VA_SW = -4.4V; P17V_SW =
16.3V; N22V_SW = -21.1V; Manifold temperature = 20.0º

T1 and T3 have exceeded the 35°C trip point. This will cause the “S84 IQ degraded” message
on the DMR console, the AWS pop-up error "check image quality on current image" after an
exposure, and it will log IDC 64 Detector Environment Failed in the [Link] file

2.3 How to copy temperature and error logs to a floppy.

1. Insert a blank DOS formatted floppy in AWS SUN drive

2. Open a command window on AWS background.
3. Type the following commands (respecting spaces -- spaces shown are a single space -- no space needed before
the return ↵ ):

su - root ↵
password: operator ↵
mount -f pcfs /dev/fd0 /floppy ↵ (mount the floppy disk)
cd /export/home/sdc/tmp (change to temp directory created in section 2.2)
cp [Link] /floppy ↵ (copy file to floppy)

cd /export/home/sdc/senovision/logfiles ↵ (change to logfiles directory)

cp [Link] /floppy ↵ (copy file to floppy)
cp [Link] /floppy ↵ (note: file may not exist)

cd / ↵ (change to root directory)

umount /floppy ↵ (unmount the floppy – “umount” is the correct spelling)
eject ↵

These files can now be sent to the OLC via email attachments if requested.

2.4 Causes of hot or cold detector temperatures (S84 Image quality degraded):
• Conditioner pump not running due to low fluid level (float low-limit “trip” stops the pump) or due to
pump failure. Open cap and check for mild/gentle turbulence. Top off conditioner if necessary.

• Conditioner not regulating its own target temperature of 20°C (detector #2224137) or 26°C (detector
#2224137-2). See section 2.5 for conditioner temperature troubleshooting.

• Conditioner does regulate at 20°C or 26°C but the detector temperature is to warm. Coolant flow rate
is probably restricted in the hoses, the detector, or the conditioner itself (see section 2.6).

• Ambient room temperature too high. Practical experience has shown that under today’s system
design, ambient room temperatures exceeding 75°F (23°C) can sometimes cause this problem.
Customer should correct room temperature regulation. Call OLC for procedure to temporarily lower
your conditioner operating temperature until room temperature is corrected.

2.5 Troubleshooting conditioner temperature regulation problems.

Conditioner Target Temperatures for different version detectors (see sticker on the detector to determine
its part number / version). Note: It can up to 20 minutes for conditioner to reach it’s target temperature.
System operating mode Conditioner Target Temperature for specified detector
(Please note: this is the conditioner temperature,
not the detector panel temperature)
2224137 2224137-2
Full power-up / acquisition state 20°C +/-1° 26°C +/-1°
DMR console “off” (DMR shuts off DPS) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°
System “off” but wall breaker “on” (DPS is “off”) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°
Fault Condition (IDC or DMR shuts off DPS) 30°C +/-1° 30°C +/-1°

2.5.1 Conditioner regulated temperature display is too warm AND the detector temperature is
too warm.

You can determine if the conditioner cannot regulate its temperature down to the desired level by doing
the following:
• Shut off conditioner power switch.
• Disconnect conditioner RS232 cable.
• Turn on conditioner.
• Press momentarily the conditioner “output temp” button until “Set Temp” is seen on the LCD display.
Do not hold down the button long or a WatchDog circuit will trip and the conditioner will need to be
reset.
• Press the “TEMP DOWN” button repeatedly on the conditioner and drop the temperature down to
10°C.
• Press the “Output Temp” button repeatedly until you see the “manifold temperature” displayed. You
should see the temperature begin dropping, ultimately to the set value, if the conditioner can regulate
itself. Wait ~10 minutes and see that it has cooled below room temperature. It should continue to
steadily move down to the set point. It could take ~20 minutes for the chiller with mammo
system hoses, to go from ambient 30°C to a set point of 10°C. If the temperature display does not
fall below room ambient temperature (typically 20-22°C), replace the conditioner.
• Reinstall the RS232 cable. It is OK to do this with power on. You should see a message “IDC
control” on the display in less than 30 seconds.

2.5.2 Conditioner regulated temperature display is too warm BUT the detector temperature is
too cold.
This is typically caused by a failure in the conditioner’s internal closed-loop temperature sensors. For
instance, the display is warmer than normal because the sensor is reading inaccurately. The conditioner’s
internal closed-loop cooling circuits drive the temperature down in attempt to reach the target temperature,
but the sensors never sense the correct temperature. Thus the detector runs too cold. Replace the
conditioner.

 2.6 Troubleshooting restricted coolant flow-rate.

2.6.1 Possible Causes for restricted flow. Normal flow ≥1.0 Liters/minute.
• Pinched hoses, specifically, those entering the detector being restricted by cable-clamp
assembly at the detector. Loosening clamp and re-tightening it restored normal flow. In some
cases you may need to insert some washers as spacers. Be careful to ensure the cable is clamped
securely enough to prevent cable slippage resulting in fiber optic cable damage!
• Shrink wrap at the end of the composite cable entering the detector was too tight and restricted
flow. Cut away the shrink wrap with care.
• Clog in coolant hose or its quick disconnect.
• Clog in one or both of the detector cooling pipes in the detector cooling plate. Please note that
we had one site that had a clog in one of the two detector pipes but the flow rate still exceeded 1.0
Lit/min. Also, a new syringe kit has just been created to blow out the detector (may help clear out
clogs) and to purge liquid from the detector before return shipment to prevent freezing/ice damage.
Kit part number is 2270096. Some FE’s have used an air compressor to clear clogs. DO NOT
exceed 15PSI.

2.6.2 Determining the location of flow-rate restriction. Note: This section is useful if you do not
have the special flow kit described in Yellow Advanced Service Manual TSG006 (dir. asm-C
2260409–100). Please reference TSG006 whenever possible.

2.6.3 How to obtain your own low-cost mechanical flow-meter.

Some FE’s have obtained their own low-cost flow meters that can be inserted in series with the cooling
hoses at various locations. These are not as accurate as the GE specified meter in TSG006, but they
have proven adequate in field tests. You will need to purchase the flow meter below and attach two short
hoses to it, one with a male disconnect and the other with a female. Please exercise care to ensure the
hoses are securely installed on the meter or you risk coolant leaks onto equipment.

Flow Meter: Purchase from Dwyer Instruments, Michigan City, Indiana. Phone 219-879-8000. Flow
meter model # is MMA-41 (0.25 – 2.5 LPM). Cost is less than $20.

Quick disconnects: Obtain from FMI 10747 coolant upgrade or purchase your own. Contact Advanced
Air products company, Denver, CO. Phone is 303-778-0800. Male connector is
PLCD220-04-1. Female is PLCD170-04-1.

¼” inside diameter hose: obtain from FMI 10747 or purchase at Home Depot or other hardware store.

MaxirayTM 100 TH-M1 (Chanel Program)
Senographe ???? X-Ray Tube Assembly (Nephtys Program)

Application
Dedicated mammography X-ray tube assembly for high duty screening, diagnostic and magnification procedures.
Dual Rhodium and Molybdenum X-Ray spectra provides optimized dose and contrast imaging for full range of
breast densities and sizes.

Features
Outstanding image quality is provided by high resolution combined with high contrast imaging properties.
Totally respectful of planet preservation with oil-free and lead-free design, its concept is also limiting the
consumed energy to make it and to use it thanks to the compact and lightweight design for mammography
equipment. The smallest mammography X-Ray Tube of the world weighs only 6.5 kilograms, one third of
conventional mammography tubes; it integrates a true 100 mm anode and an optimized ventilation that are
capable of serving more patients per day without the need for the cumbersome oil tank that is required in
conventional mammography tubes. No more need to use lead to minimize the undesirable radiation, its
innovative design integrates a stainless steel shield.

High resolution
0.3 and 0.1 focal spot compliant with IEC are adjusted in house to deliver high spatial resolution. The high
resolution is served by high mA output for shortest exposure time.

High contrast imaging

Molybdenum and Rhodium target provides unique monochromatic X-rays for optimum contrast at low dose even
with dense breast. Grounded metal frame and grounded anode allows disposing the built in collimator close to
focal spot that rejects much of off focus radiation providing a highly contrasted image reinforced thanks to a
sophisticated primary collimation affixed on the X-Ray port window.

Image quality
The design is dedicated to mammography with an Molybdenum anode enriched with Vanadium enables to keep
the dose output at the highest level throughout the life of the tube enhanced by the true 100mm anode. The
unique tube geometry vouch for a perfect stability of the focal spot location during all the operations of the day
that prevent image shift.

Environment: in non-operating condition, the X-ray tube withstands storage and

shipment within range –40°C through +70°C (relative humidity
up to 100%, non condensing).
In operating conditions, the X-Ray tube withstands up to 40°C ambient
temperature.
