WARNING
X–RAY EQUIPMENT IS DANGEROUS TO BOTH PATIENT AND OPERATOR
UNLESS MEASURES OF PROTECTION ARE STRICTLY OBSERVED
Though this equipment is built to the highest standards of electrical and mechanical safety, the useful x–ray beam becomes
a source of danger in the hands of the unauthorized or unqualified operator. Excessive exposure to x–radiation causes damage
to human tissue.
Therefore, adequate precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized or unqualified persons from operating this equipment
or exposing themselves or others to its radiation.
Before operation, persons qualified and authorized to operate this equipment should be familiar with the Recommendations
of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, contained in Annals Number 26 of the ICRP, and with applicable
national standards.

Safety !
WARNING!
General Safety
- Keep the patient in view at all times. Never leave the patient unattended.
Always stay alert to safety concerns involving the patient’s condition and
equipment operation.
- Check the lengths of all patient health lines (IV tubing, oxygen lines, etc.) and
make sure they accommodate cradle travel. Position these lines so they
cannot catch on anything within the patient vicinity or between the table and
gantry during cradle travel or gantry tilt.
- Always follow the exam procedures provided in the operator manual. Verify
correct entry of identification, patient positioning, and other patient data
before proceeding with the exam. Incorrect procedures or patient data entry
could cause misinterpretation of the exam results.
- Conduct Image Quality checks and follow the maintenance schedule outlined
in your HiSpeed FX/i operator manual. Discontinue use of the equipment
whenever you notice equipment damage, or a malfunction occurs. Do not
use the equipment until qualified service personnel correct the problem.
Never use the equipment unless all the protective covers are in place.
Radiation Safety
- Use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
- Always use proper technique factors for each procedure to minimize X–Ray
exposure while still producing the best diagnostic results.
- Be sure to have an operator wear X–ray protection vest when a work is
needed near the gantry while X–ray is being emitted.
Software Safety
- Should a malfunction occur, or a patient condition develop that requires
interrupting a scan series, push (Abort) on the right end of the OC scan
panel to stop X–Ray.
- Wait for image annotation to complete before filming. If you press the
exposure button too soon, the film records a composite of two different scans.
- DICOM protocol has a “dialect”, which may cause some troubles like
disappearances of some portion of image annotations, when connecting to
the station where data transfer is not confirmed.

Index
4. ȡAs the operator initiates the scan procedures with the patient in the
gantry aperture, the X–ray unit inside the gantry rotates around the
patient body emitting the fan–shaped X–ray beam to the body. The
X–ray penetrates the body and is received by the detector, then it is
converted to the electrical data.
5. ȡThe data acquired in the above step is processed into the images by
the computer at the OC. Then, the images are initially displayed on the
CRT of the OC and subject to manipulation for analysis. The images can
also be filmed later for diagnoses by a physician.
6. ȡThe image data can be saved in some electronic media like optical disk
for later analysis and also be transferred to some other stations for
remote diagnoses.

Scan–related buttons
D Prescribed Tilt (Outside Americas market only)
Prescribed Tilt enables you to tilt the gantry to the prescribed angle without
operating at the gantry panel.
This button starts to flash following the [Move to Scan] button when the
gantry tilt is prescribed at the View/Edit Screen and the [Confirm] icon is
selected.
When this button is flashing, you can hold it down to remotely tilt the gantry
till it automatically stops at the prescribed angle (maximum 30 degrees).
Note : The gantry tilts only while the button is being held down.
WARNING!
During this remote tilt operation there may be a danger of the gantry cover
hitting the patient unless the operator is very closely watching the tilt
movement. The touch sensor on the gantry cover is supposed to stop the
tilt movement when it detects the physical contact with the patient body.
However, that sensor is just an auxiliary safety device. Prior to the actual
tilt the operator must ensure without relying on the sensor that the gantry
cover will not come in contact with the patient body.
Breath Navi (look guide) does not have a function of touch sensor.
The touch sensor on the gantry cover works only during the remote tilt
operation at the OC. It does not work when the tilt operation is done at the
Control Panel.
The front touch sensor (option) must be used in case it is hard to see the
front gantry cover from the console.
See the next page for the locations the front and rear touch sensors are
built in.

Tube cooling is needed at image : At the top of the screen the message
appears that informs you at which image the tube cooling will be needed with
the current scan techniques. In the above example it is 26.
Optimize Method : Optimize Method tells you how the change in technique
will occur. In the above example it says “Group by Group” meaning the
technique must be changed by scan group. Also, in the above example,
since the image 26 belongs to the first group, all the images in the first group
from 1 to 45 are equally subject to changes in technique. The system will
calculate and display up to three factors for the scans to be able to continue.
Those three factors are;
– Upfront Delay (sec) : Pre–scan delay
– mA : Tube current used for that scan group
– Group Delay (sec) : Delay time between scan groups
Rectifying any one of those three factors will display a message “Tube
cooling is No Longer Needed” enabling the system to continue scans.
Notice: When the system estimates the cooling time to be more than 600
seconds, it shows “––” in the [Upfront Delay] box.
Finally select [Optimize in Progress] highlighted in blue to exit.

Note : Blue lines on the axial images show the mechanical center (the
pair of two slices) of the detector, not the slice.
Note : When the gantry tilt is applied on the Localizer, the last image in
each scan group will be automatically removed.
This is because with the matrix type detector tilting the gantry increases
slice intervals which cause the slice overlaps between groups as the
system keeps the original start locations for each scan group. To avoid
the slice overlaps the system automatically removes the slice(s)
depending on the scan mode and the tilt angle.

The two ranges do not alternate with each other within a single scan group.
In some cases this causes the system–calculated mA to be clipped(cut) for a
certain slice. The following are examples.
Example 1 : With the [10–190mA] range selected, even if 210mA is
calculated for a certain slice, only 190mA will be applied to the slice.
In other words, mA values more than 190mA are clipped.
Example 2 : With the [100–max.mA] range selected, even if 80mA is
calculated for a certain slice, 100mA will be applied to the slice.

Although you can save baseline images to visually compare with your daily
QA checks, you don’t have to. The numerical data supplied during the
actual testing provides the necessary objective data for comparison. This
section contains a sheet titled QA DATA FORM that you can copy and use
to record this numerical data.
Phantom Description
Use the Quality Assurance and Performance Phantom provided with your
CT scanner to assess system performance and establish an ongoing
Quality Assurance program. The phantom’s design provides maximum
performance information with minimum effort. This phantom measures six
aspects of image quality. It contains three sections, each corresponding to
a single scan plane. The following illustration contains a list of the sections
and corresponding tests.
QA Schedule
Phantom Setup
Place the performance phantom on the phantom holder and level it. (Tape
a small piece of cardboard or a washer to the phantom, if necessary to
accomplish this.) Position the phantom using the laser alignment lights as
follows:
1. Align the axial light to the circumferential line marking Section 1.
2. Align the coronal light to the horizontal lines on either side of the phantom.
3. Align the sagittal light (where it strikes the top of the phantom) to the vertical
line on the face of the phantom.
4. Position the phantom and press the Internal Land button on the gantry.
Circumferential
reference line
Vertical reference line
Horizontal
reference line
Horizontal

Follow the normal Single Scan protocol. Scan three locations, one for each
QA phantom section. If you set up the phantom as described on the
previous page, prescribe scan location 0.0 for section 1 of the phantom,
35.0 for section 2 and 50.0 for section 3. Use the scan parameters
suggested in Table 1. You can use other parameters, but the performance
results won’t match the data in this manual.
TABLE 1
Begin the analysis as soon as the Section 1 image display appears. Make
copies of the form on the following page and record the QA results there.
Keep previously recorded QA results and compare them to the most recent
analysis for consistency.

FIGURE 2
Section 1 of the phantom also tests slice thickness. Both sides of the
resolution block contain a pattern of air filled holes designed to
demonstrate slice thickness. (See Figure 3.)
Air filled
holes
FIGURE 3
The resolution block contains holes drilled 1 mm apart and aligned in the
direction of slice thickness (perpendicular to scan plane). Each visible hole
in the image represents 1 mm of beam thickness. The software assigns
less negative CT numbers to partial hole images or holes located on the
edge of the slice profile. To determine slice thickness, display the
image at the recommended window level and width, and count the
visible holes. Black holes in the image represent a full millimeter of slice
thickness. Gray holes count as fractions of a millimeter; two equally gray
holes count as a single 1 mm slice thickness.
Refer to Figure 3 on the previous page: notice how the center hole in the
hole patterns on both sides of the resolution block appear longer than the
others. The manufacturers drilled the center holes deeper to help you
identify them in the image. The center hole position corresponds precisely
to the black line scribed on the circumference of the phantom. When you
use an accurate Positioning light and align the phantom’s circumferential
line to the axial light, you’ll see a symmetrical hole pattern around the
center (longer) hole in the slice thickness pattern. See Figure 5. For best
results, use the 1.0 mm slice thickness.
FIGURE 5
Optional: Take an
ROI at the 3 o’clock
position.
FIGURE 7
Contrast Scale
The standard deviation for an ROI in the 1.6 mm bar pattern should equal
36 HU, with a suggested allowable variation of 20%.
Slice thickness should not vary from the expected value by more than 50%
for thickness of 2.0mm or less and ± 1.0mm for thickness over 2.0mm,
when evaluated according to instructions.
Because this test relies upon the perceptual judgment of the person
counting visible and well–defined holes, we can’t suggest an allowable
variation. Rather, we suggest you choose a single, barely visible hole and
closely monitor that particular hole during subsequent testing for
degradation in this image parameter.

Dose
For best results, use the phantoms, dose profile and CTDI value calculation
procedures recommended in the CDRH final draft of “Routine Compliance
Testing for Computed Tomography X–Ray Systems” dated April 26, 1984.
Also, for best results, use the phantoms and CTDIW value calculation
procedures recommended in the IEC committee draft for vote of
IEC60601–2–44, dated August 8, 1997.
Performance
Noise
Slice
Use a wire ramp section of Catphan phantom, inclined 23ɫfrom the scan
plane.
Sensitivity
Deviations
The anticipated “maximum deviation” for CTDI and CTDIW equals ±40%.
The expected deviation equals ±20%, except for the 40 mA or less and
1mm techniques, where variation increases (up to a factor of two) due to
the inherent deviation in small values.
Dose Profile
Performance
MTF: Expect deviations within ±10% for values on the MTF curve
generated with data gathered according protocol. Maximum deviations
may reach ±20% for other methodologies.
Sensitivity Profile: Expect the full width slice half maximum sensitivity
profiles to vary ±20% or 1.0 mm, whichever is larger, when measured with
a wire ramp section of Catphan phantom, inclined 23ɫfrom the scan plane.
If you use other methodologies, the maximum deviation may reach 1.5 mm
for all slice thicknesses, because these measurement errors have the
greatest effect on thin slices.

Measurement Basis
Tube Potential : Precision voltage divider, Model No. 46–154966G1 reduces
high voltage generated across anode and cathode by 1000:1. Tube
Potential equals the average kilovoltage generated during the exposure,
excluding transients at the beginning and end. See Section 2 of the X–ray
Alignment procedure in the Service documentation for the complete
measurement procedure.
Tube Current : Tube current equals the average milliamperage generated
during x–ray exposure. See Section 2 of the X–Ray Alignment procedure in
the Service documentation for the complete procedure.
Scan Time: Exposure time intervals equal the time during which the
kilovoltage equals or exceeds 75% of its peak value. Measure kilovoltage
with a precision voltage divider and an oscilloscope. Use the time base of
the oscilloscope to measure exposure duration.
CAUTION
To obtain the optimum results, make sure nothing is left in the path
of X–ray beam that may have adverse effects on examinations.
