The Acquisition Module (DiCOM box) is an image capture, and transfer system intended for use with medical imaging equipment. The DiCOM box base unit will capture single image frames of color (RGB) or monochrome (B&W) video. Optionally, the DiCOM box may be upgraded, via software key, to any combination of the following configurations: • DICOM Print Class Enabled (allows transfer of images to a network printer) • DICOM Storage Class Enabled (allows transfer of images to a network archive or workstation) • DICOM Worklist Retrieval Enabled (allows Worklist Retrieval) • Host Control Enabled (standard on digital image input versions) • DICOM Modality Performed Procedure Step, (MPPS), may be used to notify the Hospital Information System when a procedure for a specific patient has started and when it has completed. • DICOM Storage Commitment may be used to notify an archive device that a study has been completed and to request that the archive device will notify the DiCOM box that all of the images have been successfully stored. The DiCOM box CA+ will capture single frame or multiframe images of color (RGB) or monochrome (B&W) video.

3.1

Host Interface

The DiCOM box will capture images from the host via an analog framegrabber. The analog framegrabber will capture single frames of a color or monochrome video signal. Sheet formatting and image capture control will be done via the DiCOM box control panel.

3.2

Network Store/Print Interface

By connecting to the Ethernet/DICOM interface, the DiCOM box will function as a client device in a networked environment conforming to the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. The DiCOM box has Ethernet network interface capability that allows connection to the networked environment via an IEEE 802.3, 10/100 BASE-T network interface. The DiCOM box is capable of sending data to one or more server devices in the networked environment.

3.3

Control Panel

The control panel keypad is composed of twenty keys. The keypad display is a 4-line by 20-character liquid crystal display (LCD) with back lighting. The control panel is connected to the DiCOM box via a 15-foot cord to allow for remote use. The control panel provides the user with prompting, status messages, error messages, and other operational information. Note that all of the screens presented in this manual are examples. The actual screens displayed on the control panel may vary.

3.4

Optional Keyboard

A keyboard may be attached to the DiCOM box to allow for alphanumeric data entry. The control panel keypad is still required to view the entered data. The keyboard is connected to the DiCOM box via a 6-foot cord to allow for remote use.

3.5

Optional Flat Panel Touchscreen

Replaces the control panel with a flat panel touchscreen display. The display allows viewing patient worklists, returned from the hospital server, four patients at a time. Also allows for alphanumeric data entry without a separate keyboard.

Select/Setup Host

This operation allows the operator to select the modality and host that the DiCOM box is connected to. First select the modality and then the specific host that the DiCOM box will be connected to. When a host is selected, the DiCOM box will automatically be configured with the appropriate video parameters (for analog frame grabber equipped systems). Also, when selecting a new host, a frame grabber calibration (for analog frame grabber equipped systems) must be performed. See sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.2 for further instruction on frame grabber calibration. If the connected host does not appear in the SELECT/SETUP HOST menu, a custom data file will need to be created by a qualified service person. Make certain that the host system has reached its normal operating temperature prior to starting this procedure. Upon completion of this procedure go to section 7.2.5 and perform the ACR setup procedure (if ACR is required). NOTE:

Use the method outlined in the installation flowchart (number 4) before proceeding with this procedure.

1.

For video input to the DiCOM box select the UNCLASSIFIED listing in the SELECT/SETUP HOST menu.

2.

Select GENERIC VIDEO but press CANCEL when prompted to calibrate video.

3.

Reselect UNCLASSIFIED and GENERIC VIDEO to gain access to the SETUP HOST menu.

4.

Refer to figure IN1 and select the appropriate video and sync source for the host system that is connected to the DiCOM box.

5.

Use the FIND PARAMETERS menu item. If pixel clock frequency is known, use the FIND LINE RATE sub-menu to determine the line rate. Then calculate Htotal by the following formula. Htotal = pixel clock frequency/line rate.

6.

After the correct Htotal value has been determined use the AUTOMATIC SIZING menu item to detect the appropriate image height and width, and the left and top margins.

7.

Next, use the CALIBRATE PHASE and CALIBRATE ADC menu items to fine tune the pixel clock and ADC values.

8. Send an image to the printer or PACS to verify image quality. NOTE: Use the MODIFY PARAMETERS menu item to correct any improperly set video parameter. 7.2.1 Calibrate Phase Use this menu item to calibrate the pixel clock phase to that of the host video. The host system video must contain high contrast black to white, and white to black transitions. 7.2.2 Calibrate ADC Use this menu item to calibrate the ADC so that the captured image will contain the full dynamic range of the host video. The host system video must contain peak white areas and black areas. 7.2.3 Modify Parameters Use this menu item to adjust image height and width, image margins, video and sync source, and pixel aspect ratio. 7.2.3.1

7.2.4 Find Parameters Use the find parameters menu item to determine the line rate and/or Htotal for host systems that were not listed in section 7.2. If you have a video specification for the host system you are connecting to, go to the MODIFY PARAMETERS menu item and enter the video parameters. 7.2.4.1

Automatic

The FIND PARAMETERS AUTOMATIC sub-menu item attempts to determine the timing characteristics of the host system video. Before proceeding, make sure that the image on the host scanner contains many high contrast, single pixel wide features(i.e., a SMPTE Pattern will usually contain adjacent on, then off, then back on, single pixels. This feature is also normally present in a multi-burst resolution pattern.). When the procedure is complete, go to MODIFY PARAMETERS to review and/or change the results. NOTE: The “found” value for Htotal must be greater than the width of the image (i.e., if the image size is 640 x 480, Htotal must be greater than 640). 7.2.4.2

Find Htotal Coarse (EFG Only)

The FIND HTOTAL COARSE sub-menu item will cause two four up sheets to be printed. Htotal will be incriminated by 16 pixels in each frame. The image on the host system must contain as much high contrast information as possible. In the illustration below, the captured image is filled with text. The printed images will contain node lines of varying width and frequency. As the Htotal value approaches the correct number for the connected video, the width of the node lines will increase and the frequency of node lines in the frame will decrease. Access the Htotal submenu item to enter the rough value and proceed to Find Htotal Fine. 7.2.4.3

Find Htotal Fine (EFG Only)

The FIND HTOTAL FINE sub-menu item will cause two four up sheets to be printed. Htotal will be incriminated by 4 pixels in each frame. The image on the host system must contain as much high contrast information as possible. In the illustration below, the captured image is filled with text. The printed images will contain node lines of varying width and frequency. As the Htotal value approaches the correct number for the connected video, the width of the node lines will increase and the frequency of node lines in the frame will decrease. Access the Htotal sub-menu item to set Htotal to the value indicated in the best image of the two prints. If further testing is indicated, change the Htotal value by two and repeat FIND HTOTAL FINE sub-menu item to finish determining the correct value for Htotal.

7.2.4.4

Find Vtotal (MFG Only)

The FIND VTOTAL sub-menu item determines the number of lines for the video signal. 7.2.4.5

Find Line Rate

The FIND LINE RATE sub-menu item determines the horizontal frequency, and whether the video is interlaced or non-interlaced, on the host system video. If the pixel clock frequency is known, Htotal can be derived by dividing the pixel clock frequency by the line rate.

005-00148-00 Rev. D

7.2.4.6

Automatic Sizing

Use the AUTOMATIC SIZING sub-menu item to find initial values for LEFT MARGIN, WIDTH, TOP MARGIN and HEIGHT. Use the CALIBRATE PHASE and CALIBRATE ADC sub-menu items prior to performing an AUTOMATIC SIZING. After using the AUTOMATIC SIZING sub-menu repeat the CALIBRATE PHASE and CALIBRATE ADC menu items and then the AUTOMATIC SIZING sub-menu item. The found video may contain information not intended to be displayed, such as hidden digital patient information. Proceed to the MODIFY PARAMETERS submenu to eliminate any extraneous information present in the captured image. 7.2.5

ACR Setup 7.2.5.1

Introduction

This procedure describes how to modify the parameters that define the format of the patient name, identification, (ID), and the accession number as they appear on the host system’s display screen. These parameters are used by the Automatic Character Recognition (ACR) process which is exercised each time the operator starts a new exam by pressing the NEW/END EXAM key on the DiCOM box Control Panel. Each model of host system may place the patient name, ID, and accession number character strings in different locations in the image. The format of these fields is varied as well as the character font. The ACR parameters include the location of the fields within the image, the format of the name and ID fields, and information about the character font. 7.2.5.2

Procedure

The name and ID format parameters are changeable within the ACR Setup menu. The ACR Setup menu is part of the Installation Menu. (See section 7.1.1 in this manual on how to enable access to the Installation Menu). The procedure is divided into nine tasks. Task 1. Name ID Field Order The first task is to select the number of text lines in the image that are provided for the name and/or ID fields. The control panel will display: N A M E / I D F I E L D O R D E R  * I n S e p a r a t e F i e l d s I D b e f o r e N a m e N a m e b e f o r e I D Enter ID before name or name before ID if the name and ID character strings appear on a single line and there is no set starting point for the two fields. Enter in separate fields if the name and ID character strings are on separate lines or if there are distinct starting points for the two fields displayed on one line. Press the CANCEL key to keep the previous setting and continue to the next task. If you have a video specification for the host system you are connecting to, go to the MODIFY PARAMETERS menu item and enter the video parameters. Task 2. Select Name Format This task selects one of the following name formats: FIRST LAST LAST, FIRST MIDDLE FIRST MIDDLE LAST LAST, FIRST MI. FIRST MI. LAST LAST LAST, FIRST NOTE:

FIRST = first name, MIDDLE = middle name, LAST = last name, and MI. = middle initial. The Control Panel will display: S E L E C T N A M E F O R M A T  * L a s t F i r s t M i d d l e F i r s t L a s t F i r s t M i d d l e L a s t L a s t F i r s t M i . F i r s t M i .

Task 3. Setup Accession This task defines the location of the accession field within the image. The Control Panel will display: A C C E S S I O N F I E L D  * E n a b l e A c c e s s i o n D i s a b l e A c c e s s i o n Select either to enable or disable the accession field. Press OK to proceed with ACR setup for name/ID/accession number fields. If the accession number field has been disabled continue the ACR setup by proceeding to Task 4, and disregard references to accession field setup. Task 4. Font Spacing If the space between characters is independent of the actual character, (i.e., two lower case L’s are not closer together than other characters), then set font spacing to “EQUALLY”. Otherwise select “PROPORTIONATELY”. Task 5. Active Clock Field (Automatic Setup Only) If NAME, ID, and/or ACCESSION fields are found using the Automatic Define feature, this item must be set to YES. If manual entry for CLOCK field, NAME field, ID field and ACCESSION field will be used, skip this task. Task 6. Define Clock Field * See note in Task 9 prior to proceeding. Manually Define Clock Field: Send an image to a DICOM validation tool and open the image with image viewing software. Locate the Clock Field and note the X and Y pixel coordinates for the upper left hand corner and the lower right hand corner of the field. Use the upper left hand coordinates for X0 and Y0. Use the lower right hand coordinates for X1 and Y1. Automatically Define Clock Field: Empty the NAME, ID and ACCESSION fields and press OK. Task 7. Define Name Field * See note in Task 9 prior to proceeding. It is necessary to fill the name field with characters to insure that the whole field is defined. For example. you may need to pick the widest character at the beginning and end of the field to insure that the maximum field width is represented. If the character font includes characters with true descending components, e.g. a lower-case “g”, then those characters should be included near the end of the field to insure that the maximum field height is defined. (See Illustration 1 below.) Another characteristic to be aware of is proportionally spaced characters that may be in some character fonts. Proportionally spaced fonts are those in which the narrow characters occupy less horizontal space than wider characters. Some host systems that have a proportionally spaced font have a limit to the number of characters in a given line of text. In this case, if name and ID fields were filled with narrow characters, it would not represent the maximum width of the field. Therefore, for the purposes of this task, it may be necessary to fill the field with wide characters. Manually Define Name Field: Send an image to a DICOM validation tool and open the image with image viewing software. Locate the Name Field and note the X and Y pixel coordinates for the upper left hand corner and the lower right hand corner of the field. Use the upper left hand coordinates for X0 and Y0. Use the lower right hand coordinates for X1 and Y1. Automatically Define Name Field: This task defines the location of the name field within the image. If the Name ID field order parameter entered in Task 1 is Name before ID or ID before Name, then this task defines the location of the combined name and ID fields. If there is an active clock in the image, its location must be identified prior to establishing the Name field (see Task 6). Start an exam at the host system but leave the patient name and ID fields blank. The Control Panel will display: D E F I N E N E m p t y n a a c c e s s i o P r e s s O K

ADVT if a registered trademark of AGFA Incorporated. PHOTOSHOP is a registered trademark of ADOBE Systems Incorporated. Task 10. ACR Font Setup The purpose of these tasks is to obtain a bit map of each character in the host instrument’s character font. This is accomplished by having the installer enter each requested character into the name field. The Control Panel will display: E n t e r c h a r a c t e r s i n t o n a m e f i e l d A B C D E F G H I J K L M   O K o r C a n c e l Use the procedure provided by the host instrument to enter the requested characters into the patient name field. The first characters requested are “ABCDEFGHIJKLM”, (See Illustration 4). If the requested character isn’t available on the host instrument’s keyboard, leave a space in place of the missing character. Care needs to be taken to insure that the requested characters are the only characters in the field. For example, if there is a cursor displayed when entering characters into the name field, you need to move the cursor to another field. Or, if the host instrument automatically inserts a comma after the last name, leave the last name blank and insert the requested character set into the first name area. Name: ABCDEFGHIJKLM Illustration 4. The requested characters, (‘ABCDEFGHIJKLM’ in this case), are the only characters in the name field. See Appendix A for a list of the requested characters groups. Press the OK key when the requested characters have been entered into the name field. The UP key will skip the current requested characters. The last accepted character set bit map for that character set will be used. The DOWN key will cause the previous requested character set to become the current requested character set. The CANCEL key will continue to the next task without saving any changes in the font. If the CANCEL key is pressed, the control panel will display: A
