Load Limit Specifications Uniform Load 150 ㎏ over the whole area of the detector surface Local Load 100 ㎏ on an area 40 ㎜ in diameter Pediatric Application  Every request should be reviewed by the pediatric radiologist prior to beginning the examination to insure correct study is being performed.  If the technologist notices an unusual request, they should contact the pediatric radiologist. An example should be from pediatric clinic where they order a Full Cervical, Thoracic, and Lumbar Spine series. The pediatric radiologist should contact ordering physician and decide which study is the best for this pediatric patient.  The technologist should use the proper technique for the patient’s size to decrease the radiation dose when the technologist acquires diagnostic images.  ALL Pediatric patients shall be shielded for their x-ray examinations, except for when the shield will obscure the region of interest, as in a pelvic or SI joint xray for trauma or arthritis, or when it is physically or clinically unreasonable to shield the patient. For routine Hip X-Rays, ALL male children shall have their scrotum shielded using the small gonadal shield, females may not be shielded as this would obscure the hips.  To minimize motion in infants and young children, swaddle the infant. Use distraction tools to improve cooperation and projectors with child-friendly themes, music, toys with flashing lights or music, child-friendly images on the ceiling or walls, singing, counting, and a parent reading and talking to the child through the console all can help reduce anxiety and comfort the child.  A Scoliosis series will consist of a single frontal standing view of the spine. No lateral view or supine view is needed, unless specifically asked for by the Orthopedist or Radiologist. If the female’s breasts can be shielded without obscuring the spine, breast shields should be used.

Wireless Service Manual Page 88 of 124 RA14-11A-022 5.4.1.1 Setting Exposure Mode User can set the detector to three different exposure modes according to the connection type to the X-ray generator. Select the desired mode on System configuration. For detailed information on X-ray exposure mode, refer to 2.6.1 X-ray Exposure Mode. 5.4.1.2 Timing Setting To acquire correct images, exact timing setting must be made according to the characteristics of the X-ray generator.
Wireless Service Manual Page 89 of 124 RA14-11A-022 Exposure section Exposure section indicates the period (unit: ㎳) that the detector converts X-rays to image signals. This value needs to be set longer than the exposure time of X-ray generator to prevent X-rays loss while converting X-rays to image signals. If you change the time settings, refresh the Post-offset data and generate new GAIN data to acquire optimized images. The recommended Exposure section value is 500 ㎳ (Standard). Pre Exposure section The Pre Exposure section is allowed to use when delay is occurred until the generator receives EXP-OK signal from the detector and prepares X-ray generation. Pre Exposure section is set as 0 ㎳ normally, however, it is recommend to set the actual delay time of generator’s X-ray generation with measurements to achieve the best performance of the detector. The detector sends EXP_OK signal to the generator, then transforms X-ray into image signal after the time set in the Pre Exposure section. EXP OK Delay section EXP OK Delay section is delay time from when the detector detects exposure request signal (EXP_REQ) from the X-ray generator to when the detector sends exposure respond signal (EXP_OK) to the X-ray generator. Some X-ray generators need some time to prepare detecting EXP_OK signal after sending EXP_REQ signal. This value is determined according to the specifications of X-ray generator. The default value is 1 ㎳.
Wireless Service Manual Page 90 of 124 RA14-11A-022 Debounce_DR Debounce_DR is used to remove unwanted trigger signal occurred due to external noise when DR Trigger is set as Exposure Mode. It is recommended to use the Debounce_DR setting value as default 3 ㎳. We recommend setting the minimum exposure time of X-ray generator to more than 3 ㎳. If the value is set to less than 3 ㎳, the detector may not acquire images. Debounce_AED Debounce_AED is used to prevent unwanted imaging occurred due to external noise when AED is set as Exposure Mode. It is recommended to use the default values set by manufacturer. We recommend setting the minimum exposure time of X-ray generator to more than the value set in the Debounce_AED. If the value is set to less than the settings in the Debounce_AED, the detector may not acquire images. If unwanted images are acquired without X-ray exposure while operating the equipment, set Debounce_AED with 1 ㎳ increments. However, make sure not to exceed 5 ㎳ since an image degradation may appear in the image if Debounce AED exceeds 5 ㎳. 5.4.1.3 Gain Type Setting To acquire X-ray image with proper brightness, adjust the Gain Type setting. You can select the Gain Type to adjust the sensitivity of the detector, then you can acquire X-ray images with desired brightness according to the specifications of X-ray generator or the type of objects. The default gain type is 1. The following table describes each Gain Type of the sensitivity ratio. Gain Type 0 1 2 3 Gadox Detector Sensitivity ratio 0.86 1 1.2 1.5 CsI Detector Sensitivity ratio 0.62 1 1.14 1.33 The owner is responsible for ensuring that the Gain Pixel Correction is performed after adjusting the Gain Type.
