Quality Control
In order to establish and maintain consistent image quality, a regular
evaluation of image quality is advised.
The Drystar 5302 contains an automatic QC feature that has been designed to
comply with the grayscale reproduction constancy test, according to the
international standard IEC 1223-2-4.
Local Regulations may require other procedures.
The Drystar 5302 QC procedure consists of two main steps:
• Before initial use, establishing a number of reference values that will be
used for further follow-up and verifying initial image quality.
• After establishing these values, performing regular daily, weekly and
annual quality tests.
The results of these tests are recorded on Quality Control Charts.
The QC image (Refer to ‘QC test image’ on page 52) has several additional
fields where the QC data can be filled in. This image should be filed as part of
the QC procedure.
For more information, please refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’ on page 75.

DRYSTAR 5302 USER MANUAL
Establishing the reference values and verifying image quality
After installation of a new Drystar 5302 and before initial use you must
establish Quality Control aim values. These values will be used as the base
line for comparison when daily Quality Control is done. These values should
be determined again after major service, repair or software update.
The following Quality Control aim values must be determined:
• The daily operating density levels. Refer to ‘Establishing the daily operating
reference density levels’ on page 49.
• Drystar 5302 image geometry. Refer to ‘Establishing the image geometry
reference values’ on page 52.
Once Quality Control aim values are established you must evaluate the
Spatial Resolution, the Artifact Levels and the Low Contrast Visibility to
determine if the image quality is acceptable. Refer to ‘Verifying Acceptable
Spatial Resolution, Artifact Levels and Low Contrast Visibility’ on page 54.
The Quality Control aim values, the Spatial Resolution and Artifact Levels and
the Image Geometry values are all recorded on the Quality Control charts.
Refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’ on page 75.
On these charts, the following test conditions are also recorded:
• The type and serial number of the Drystar 5302.
• The type and emulsion number of the film used to determine the reference
values.
• The time (day, month, year) that the values were established.
Before you can establish the daily operating levels, the Drystar 5302 must
be switched on for at least 15 minutes and it must be calibrated as well.
Refer to ‘Switching on the Drystar 5302’ on page 30 and ‘Performing the
calibration procedures’ on page 97 of the Drystar 5302 Reference manual.

Verifying Acceptable Spatial Resolution, Artifact Levels and Low Contrast
Visibility
Good viewing conditions are important for the correct interpretation of
both diagnostic and test images. Make sure that the lightbox intensity
(luminance) is between 2000 and 4000 cd/m² (4500 and 6500 °K). Use a
magnifying glass and use shutters to collimate. Make sure the ambient
light is low.
Print the QC Test image or use the previously printed QC Test image used to
establish the daily operating density levels.
Visually check the QC test image for artifacts: no significant disturbing artifacts
should be visible.
Check the spatial resolution in each of the three ovals. Within each oval there
are three groups, each having five dots. All five dots of each group must be
visible with a magnifying glass. The smallest cluster of 5 dots are only visible if
the viewing conditions are good.
Record these values at the top of the Drystar 5302 Chart 3 (Drystar 5302
Artifacts and Spatial Resolution Control Chart). Refer to ‘Quality Control Charts’
on page 75.
Check the Low Contrast Visibility at both the high (100 / 95%) and low end
(0 / 5%) of the density scale. You should be able to see the circle in the square
(refer to item 1 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52) and the upper circle (refer to
item 2 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52).
These charts will be used for the weekly quality test. For more information,
refer to ‘Performing the Weekly QC tests’ on page 57.
In case of significant artifacts or insufficient spatial resolution, the reason
must be found and the problem solved before any further clinical films can
be printed.
Refer to ‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image
quality and resolving image quality problems’ on page 173 of the Drystar 5302
Reference manual, or call your local Agfa service organization.

Performing quality control (QC) tests
The following procedures must be performed daily, weekly or annually as
indicated.
The reason for performing quality control tests is to determine if any
significant image quality variation or deterioration has occurred which may
require corrective action. Comparing the results of the tests with the reference
values previously established does this.
This procedure allows the operator to take the necessary preventive actions
before any image quality loss can take place.
Performing the daily QC test
This test must be performed every day before any clinical film can be
processed.
Turn on the Drystar 5302 and wait at least for 15 minutes. Refer to ‘Switching on
the Drystar 5302’ on page 30.

Performing the Weekly QC tests
Spatial Resolution, Artifact Test and Low Contrast Visibility
To identify artifacts and verify spatial resolution you must perform the
following test weekly or as needed for troubleshooting image quality
problems.
Good viewing conditions are important for the correct interpretation of
both diagnostic and test images. Make sure that the lightbox intensity
(luminance) is between 2000 and 4000 cd/m² (4500 and 6500 °K). Use a
magnifying glass and use shutters to collimate. Make sure the ambient
light is low.
Check the QC test image visually for artifacts: no significant disturbing artifacts
should be visible.
Check the spatial resolution.
The test film also shows three squares which each contains an oval. These 3 ovals
contain 3 groups, each having 5 dots. All five dots of each group must be visible with a
magnifying glass. The smallest cluster of 5 dots are only visible if the viewing
conditions are good.
Check the Low Contrast Visibility at both the high (100 / 95%) and low end
(0 / 5%) of the density scale. You should be able to see the circle in the square
(refer to item 1 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52) and the upper circle (refer to
item 2 on the ‘QC test image’ on page 52).
Record these values on the Drystar 5302 Chart 3 (Drystar 5302 Artifacts and
Spatial Resolution Control Chart).
In case of significant artifacts, insufficient spatial resolution or failure of
any other recommended QC tests, the cause of the problem must be
identified, and corrective action must be taken before the Drystar 5302
can be used for any further clinical imaging.
Refer to‘Preventive maintenance schedule’ on page 59 and ‘Maintaining image
quality and resolving image quality problems’ on page 173 of the Drystar 5302
Reference manual, or call your local Agfa service organization for

Performing the Annual QC tests
Geometric Consistency Test
To be able to notice fluctuations in image size and aspect ratio, you must
perform this procedure once a year.
First, perform the daily test.
Use the QC test image of the weekly test and measure the dimensions A and B of
the geometric square. Refer to ‘Establishing the image geometry reference values’
on page 52.
Make sure to measure distance A from the left edge of the left line to the
right edge of the right line and distance B from the upper edge of the
upper line to the lower edge of the lower line.
We strongly recommend using a 30 cm (12-inch) machinist scale with
0.5 mm divisions (1/64 inch).
Record these values as measured dimensions A and B on Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5302
Geometric Consistency Control Chart’).
Compare the measured A and B dimensions with the reference dimension
values, A ref and B ref on the Drystar 5302 Chart 4 (‘Drystar 5302 Geometric
Consistency Control Chart’).
The differences between measured dimensions of A and B and the reference values A
ref and B ref should be less than or equal to 1.0%.
Check for image distortion.
Calculate the aspect ratio by dividing A by B.
The result must be 1 +/- 0.01
If the image size or distortion values are outside of limits, contact Agfa
service to resolve the problem.
