IMPORTANT! . . . X-RAY PROTECTION


X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained
should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to
place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad to
assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the useful beam, no
practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to
take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to
radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully acquainted with the
recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports
available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the
International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, its agents,
and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used.

    



 
All electrical installations that are preliminary to positioning of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment shall be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. In addition, electrical feeds into the Power Distribution Unit shall be performed
by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing shall
be performed by qualified GE Medical personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated, and special engineering competence is required.
In performing all electrical work on these products, GE will use its own specially trained field engineers. All of GEs electrical
work on these products will comply with the requirements of the applicable electrical codes.
The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel (i.e., GEs field engineers, personnel of third-party
service companies with equivalent training, or licensed electricians) to perform electrical servicing on the equipment.

RANGE

Data at each point on the image filed are depicted as shades of gray. The data range of a raw data file is between
1000000 and 1000000, and a specified range within the data range translates into between 1000 and 3000 gray
levels, which are then displayed on the image field; that is , after you specify the MIN and MAC values, the specified
range is expanded (or reduced) to the 1000 3000 range. See illustration 39.

SECTION 7 IMAGE SPATIAL RESOLUTION

7-1

DESCRIPTION

MTR Survey Program


Image spatial resolution can be measured by scanning a GE Performance Phantom and analyzing the acquired image
with the MTF Survey program included in Support within the Maintenance menu.
The MTF Survey program calculates MTF data by the twodimensional Fourier Transform of the point spread function
using pixel data around the wire.
Since the program stores the result to a mean file, analyze the result using Support display, and evaluate the system
spatial resolution performance.
The following section describes the procedure for this spatial resolution evaluation using MTF Survey.

OVERVIEW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (INCLUDE: READING HEXADECIMAL LED STATUS)

The PowerON test program is used for OC selfdiagnostics during the Power up sequence, and is resident in the
ROM on the CPW assy.
This test program has two categories: Power On Test 1 (PON1) and Power On Test 2 (PON2).
The PON Test 2 includes more detailed tests than PON Test 1, and takes longer to run.
PON Test 1 is normally selected during routine customer operation. PON Test 2 can be used by the field engineer
to perform a more detailed analysis in the event of an error occurring on the system.
During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in 2 or 3 ways depending on the test concerned as follows:
1.

CPW LEDs (all tests)

2.

CRT display monitor (all tests, except CPW Phase 1, and DISP Phase 1 tests)

3.

Terminal connected to CPW RS232C output (all tests)

See Section 1-2 for more details.


If at any point during the PON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the failed test number/code
remains on the CPW LEDs. With the exception of CPW Phase 1 and DISP Phase 1 tests, the test name/description
will also be displayed on the CRT monitor along with a brief error description.
Note
There normally no need to connect a CPW RS232C terminal, since no additional information other
than that on the LEDs and monitor can be obtained during PON Tests. Connecting a terminal is only
necessary for the execution of the off line tests.
The total processing time is as follows:

OVERVIEW (continued)

Reading Hexadecimal Numbers from LEDs


The hexadecimal number in each rectangle herein represents the LED status displayed on the CPW board. Read
the LEDs from top to bottom (MSB to LSB). Decode the top four LEDs to create the most significant hex digit (the
leftmost digit) and the bottom four to create the least significant hex digit (the rightmost digit). All hexadecimal codes
are displayed with the letter H.
More detailed status and information is displayed on the CRT from CPW Phase 2 test, so it is normally not necessary
to decode the LEDs status.
Example:

(90H)

F means Illuminated and equals 1: f equals 0. LEDs are set at the start of each routine. If any error occurs during
selftesting, the LEDs display the corresponding error code.

The following parameters are set by default with


each speed setting and cannot be cancelled;
1. Character length = 8 bits
2. Stop Bit = 1 bit
3. Party = None

The DIP SW setting information is read at the moment of system power up or reset. Changing the DIP switch setting
during test execution will have no effect on the test sequence. If you want to change the parameters, first set the DIP
SW accordingly, then press the OC reset switch to start the test.
Note
This test program does not write any data to the HD, but it does require a properly formatted HD.
i.e.: The tests will run with a normal operational HD, but not with an unformatted replacement HD.

CRASH SAVE AREA

When abnormal termination is caused by any failure (Bus Error, Address Error, or OS task crash), error information
is stored into an area of Memory called the Crash Save Area. Each processor has a Crash Save Area.
The Crash Save Area contains the following information:
Program Counter
Status Register
Other registers
LED status

at crash

For details, see illustration 13.


The Crash Save Area on each processor is saved onto the hard disk at poweron. You can also save this information
onto floppy diskette as shown in illustration 14. Use the following procedure to transfer Crash Save Area information
to floppy diskette.
Under crash condition:
1.

Label a crash save floppy diskette and insert it into the floppy disk drive.
Note
The first time you use this diskette, initialize it for a crash save according to Appendix A, How to Make
Crash Save disk.

2.

Pull the system reset switch with the diskette in place to automatically transfer a copy of the crash save area
of each processor onto the diskette. The system rest switch is located beneath OC keyboard console extension.

3.

Use the following procedure to read the contents of the diskette.


a. Insert the BOOT diskette into the floppy disk drive.
b. Set the BOOT select switch on the CPW board to the following positions:
ON
1 2 3 4

c. Pull the system reset switch.


d. Make sure the > prompt appears on the CRT monitor, and then remove the BOOT diskette and inset the

GENERAL
Overview

The offline tests for diagnosing each of the following electronic boards and some components (Hard disk drive, Audio
Assy, etc.) installed within the Operator Console are provided on each separate floppy diskettes.
D CPW
D MISC (and TPC)
D DISP
D IPU
D SBPU
The offline tests for MISC include communication tests between CPW and the processor equipped within the Gantry.
The offline tests perform more extensive diagnostics than the online tests described in the previous section.
The offline tests report which device or operation is the cause of a system or information system failure.
The offline tests except for the CPW board are provided on floppy diskettes. The offline test for the CPW board
is provided on the ROM on the CPW board. The offline tests are interactive ones, requiring an external display terminal.
The test proceedings or error information occurred during the test execution are shown on the CPW status LEDs as
well as on the display. The status LEDs turn off when all the offline tests have been finished without an error.
Illustration 21 shows the general flow of the offline tests except the ETC offline test.

ETC POWERON TEST


General

The ETC (DCX Ethernet Controller Interface) PowerON Test program is used for ETC selfdiagnostics during the
Power up sequence, and is resident in the ROM on the ETC assy.
During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in ETC LEDs.
If at any point during the PowerON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the error code displays
on the ETC LEDs.

3-1-2

Reading ETC Board LEDs

The lower byte (8 bits) indicates the ETC process, the ETC PowerON Test and current status in startup sequence,
and the upper byte (8 bits) indicates the ETC status.

SECTION 3 TGP OFFLINE TEST

3-1

TABLE PROCESSOR OFFLINE TEST

The TGP Assembly contains two micro processor system. (i.e., Gantry Processor and Table Processor)
Theses Processor systems can execute the OFFLINE programs used for subsystem Adjustment, Functional Check
and Diagnostics.
Each Processor holds test programs in its own PROM. Execute each Processors OFFLINE TEST program independently with the DIAG switches and test switches.
The Micro Processor displays the test results and/or error on the Gantry Display Panel, so it requires a normally operating TABLE Processor display function. Execute the OFFLINE TEST program after successful completion of the
TABLE PROCESSOR DISPLAY TEST.
The OFFLINE TEST program performs three operations:
D Real Time Monitor Mode (I/O Status Check)
Use this mode to monitor Table /Gantry subsystem position information.
[Cradle Position, Table height, Tilt Angle (Table Processor) and Azimuth Position (Gantry Processor)] and
Status of Micro Processors I/O ports.
D Response Test Mode (Sequential function Test)
Micro Processor performs I/O port response check, internal timer function check, internal pulse generator
function check, cradle drive operation check (Table Processor) and Collimator drive operation check
(Gantry Processor).
D Simulate Test Mode (I/O Port Bit Check Tool)
Use this test mode to manipulate output port bits selected by test switches.
Use the Gantry Panel Switches to set bit data for the Table Processor test. Use the TGP manual switches
to set bit data for Gantry Processor Test.

DETECTOR CHANNEL ARRAY

The active and reference channels are connected the DAS. The ground channels are both ground and connected
to the DAS. The 32 reference channels are divided into two groups of 6 channels each. The channels of each group
are connected in parallel, so they produce 2 reference signals, one from each group of 16 reference channels. The
reference signals are used to apply corrections to the acquired xray view data.

SECTION 2 IMAGE PROBLEMS (DETECTOR RELATED)


2-1

ARTIFACT PROBLEM

The following illustrations are examples which may be caused by DAS component failure.
Single Channel Ring
Phantom

The failure of one input capacitor or one Detector channel causes a single
failure . Illustration shows an example of single channel ring. To identify a
DAS channel, measure the ring diameter and use the ring diameter chart
(Section 1-2).

Single Channel Streak

Phantom

If a single channel failure occurs during one view period, it appears as


single line on image (streak). To identify the DAS channel which caused this
streak, use the circle cursor to measure the distance from image center to
the streak, then use the ring diameter chart (Section 1-2) to determine the
DAS channel. This failure can also be caused by a single channel signal
view data drop during data conversion or data transfer.

22 Channel Wide Band

Phantom

A unit conditioning circuit failure causes 22 channels to fail. Illustration


shows an example of a 22 Channel Wide Band Ring.
