1 Introduction


The Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager is a continuous-tone laser imager with an internal photothermographic film processor. Heat, rather than photo chemicals, is used to develop the film. The Imager receives digital images from medical image source devices (modalities) over a network. The format that the Imager accepts is DICOM.The Imager prints images on Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film that is packed in 125-sheet cartridges. The Imager can accept blue or clear base film in any of the following sizes:

• 11 x 14 in. DryView Film (28 x 35 cm)



Only one film size can be loaded in the Imager at a time.

Introduction

How the Laser Imager Works

The Imager is a network printer connected on a network along with one or more medical imaging devices. It prints images sent over the network from up to twelve medical imaging devices or workstations sending images concurrently.

The Imager has hard-disk storage for a large number of digital images. As images arrive, they are stored on the hard disk and placed in a print queue (sequenced for printing) based on time of receipt and priority.Because the Imager can store images, it can continue to accept incoming print jobs even when the film cartridge is empty or the Imager is temporarily unable to print. Images that require a different film size or film type than is currently in the Imager are placed in a separate "waiting for media" queue and a message on the Local Panel reminds the operator to change film.

Introduction

During normal operation the Imager requires very little operator attention. The Imager prints automatically in response to print requests from the associated image devices. Information sent along with images by the modalities, such as film size, density and priority, control the print operations. Main operator responsibilities are loading film and monitoring for malfunctions.

Print Sequence Each time the Imager prints a film, the following sequence occurs. (Refer to the diagram on the following page.)

1. Suction cups in the pickup area lift a single sheet of film out of the supply cartridge and feed the film into the film feed rollers.

2. The film feed rollers move the film down to the film platen (exposure module).

3. The platen rollers move the film into the film platen.

4. The platen holds the film stationary while a scanning laser beam exposes the film (writes the image onto the film).

5. After exposure, the platen rollers reverse direction and move the film up to the transport rollers. These rollers then move the film up into the film processor.

6. As the film passes over the rotating processor drum, heat from the drum develops the film.

7. Rollers move the developed film from the processor drum, through the densitometer and on to the receive tray.

2 Operation and Maintenance

Operator Control of the ImagerDuring normal operation, the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager receives and automatically prints images sent by modalities over a network. Very little operator control is required. The main operator responsibilities are:

• Turn Imager power ON or OFF.

• Load film cartridges.

• Monitor the number of prints remaining until preventive maintenance is required.

• Monitor and control some Imager functions using the Local Panel.

Operator Controls

Power Switch(On Rear of Cabinet)

Operation and Maintenance

Turning Imager Power ON and OFF

Power ON The power switch is located on the back of the Laser Imager. To turn ON the Imager, set the power switch to the "|" position. The Imager performs a power-up self test that takes about five minutes. After some initial boot-up screens, the Local Panel Home screen appears.

Local Panel Home Screen

After the power-up test, the Imager begins a warm-up period that lasts up to 25 minutes. The warm-up period varies depending on how long the Imager has been turned OFF. During warm-up the Imager can receive and store images but cannot print films. When the Imager reaches operating temperature, it starts printing any images that have accumulated during the warm-up period.During warm-up you can use the Local Panel to check the contents of the film cartridge and to open the front door to load a new film cartridge, if necessary.

Power OFF Turn the Imager OFF if you do not expect to use it for an extended period of time or to conserve electrical power.

1. Touch the Power Off button on the Home screen.

2. Touch Yes.

The following 2 screens are displayed while the Imager is shutting down software.

3. Set the power switch to the "O" (Off) position.

October 4, 2004 7F3319 2-3


Power Failures In the event of a power loss, the Laser Imager shuts down. Any films in process will not be completed. To restart the Imager after power is restored, turn OFF the power switch on the back of the Imager and then turn it ON. After warming up, the Imager automatically reprints any films that were in process when power was interrupted.

Using the Touch Screen Local PanelThe Local Panel displays a collection of screens that you can use to monitor Imager operations and to control some Imager functions. You make menu selections and navigate between Local Panel screens by lightly touching buttons on the touch screen. There is a beep sound each time you touch a button. This sound can be disabled if you wish.

CAUTION:Use only your finger when selecting buttons on the screen. Using hard objects, such as pens or pencils, can damage the surface of the touch screen.

Home Screen The Home screen appears after the initial startup screens. It provides status information about the current Imager operation and shows the contents of the film tray. From this screen you can navigate to all other Local Panel screens. The Local Panel automatically returns to the Home screen from any other screen after a few minutes if there is no operator input to the touch screen.For more information about the Home screen see “Home Screen Description” on page 2-10.

Image Resizing If the image sent from the modality is too large for the size of film in the Imager, the Imager can resize the image to fit on the film by either of two methods:

• Minify - To reduce the image to fit on the selected film size.

• Crop - To remove the edges of the image to allow it to fit on the selected page size.

The resizing method is selected separately for each connected modality when the Imager is setup. Refer to “Selecting the Type of Image Resizing” on page 4-14.Resizing is required when:

• An image is too large to fit on the film currently loaded in the Imager.

• The modality sends an image with a requested image size that the Imager cannot print.

When the Imager resizes an image, it prints an icon on the film to notify that the image has been resized.Refer to the following table for more information on the resizing methods.

October 4, 2004 7F3319 2-45


Image Resizing Methods

Resizing Method Icon Printed on Film

Minify

The image file is reduced by the removal of pixel data.

If the Minify choice was selected when the Imager was setup, the Imager will minify an image if:

1. The modality sends an image that is too large for the film in the Imager. In this case the Minify icon is printed on the film.

2. The modality requests an image size that the Imager cannot print. In this case the Scale icon is printed on the film.

Minify Icon

or

Scale Icon

Crop

The image perimeter is removed to allow the image to print on the available film and at the same scale as the anatomical area of interest. To fit the image on the printable area of the media, equal portions of the perimeter are removed from the sides of the image and/or the top and bottom of the image.

Cropping may be appropriate if the image is too large to print on the available film, and the size of the area of interest is important to retain.

NOTE: If anatomical areas of interest are near an outer edge of the image, they might be removed from the image when it is printed. Continued

Crop Icon

2-46 7F3319 October 4, 2004


Crop (continued)

Cropping allows “true size” printing for larger images. True size printing provides a common scale between images captured on analog systems (those which use medical x-ray film exposed by phosphor screens in cassettes) and printed digital images. The anatomical area of interest is printed at the same size that it is captured on the analog system. Measurements and comparisons between printed analog and digital images are simplified.

For example, you request a CR image to print 35x43 cm on a laser imager which supports a maximum print size of 33x41 cm. To make the area of interest the same size as the captured image, enable cropping.

Recycling Empty Film Cartridges

In some regions you can return your empty Kodak DryView Film Cartridges to Kodak for reuse and recycling. Contact your Kodak sales representative to determine the availability of the film cartridge recycling program in your region.Returned cartridges are carefully inspected. Only components that meet strict quality standards are reused. Components that do not meet the standards are sent to recycling centers for reclamation.This program is part of Kodak’s commitment to reduce the environmental impact of our products.For additional information on the Kodak Recycling Program in the U.S. and Canada, visit the Kodak Web site: www.kodak.com/go/KES

Running a Calibration Print

You may occasionally have to request that the Imager print a calibration print to calibrate the Imager. You may be asked to do this if you call for service. You should also run a calibration print if a “Not Calibrated” status message appears on the Home screen.

Calibration Prints Imager calibration is performed by printing a calibration print. The Imager prints a calibration print when:

• A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics (speed, contrast) is loaded.

• The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.

• The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range. Applies to 35 x 43 cm (14 x 17 in.) film only.

You can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel. A calibration print has a step wedge pattern, a series of 26 stripes of increasing optical density. The only purpose of a calibration print is to calibrate the Imager. You can discard all calibration prints.

Calibration Failure Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration and will notify the operator with an error message on the Local Panel. The most common cause is a film problem. Depending on the cause, the Imager may be able to continue operating after you acknowledge the error message. For more information on calibration failure refer to “Calibration Failure” on page 3-6.

Operator Maintenance

Cleaning the Laser Imager

Clean the outside surfaces of the Laser Imager as necessary. Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild soap.

CAUTION:Do not use isopropyl alcohol to clean the exterior surfaces of the Laser Imager. Isopropyl alcohol can dissolve the exterior paint on the Laser Imager.

Replacing the Charcoal Filter

Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film emits a slight odor when it is heated during the developing process. A charcoal filter in the Imager absorbs and neutralizes this odor. The filter has a limited life and should be replaced periodically.You can monitor the number of prints remaining until Preventive Maintenance (PM) is due by viewing the Print Counts screen. (See “Print Counts Screen” on page 2-28.) When the print count reaches the preset value, “Preventive Maintenance” appears on the Home screen.

Home Screen

Kodak Field Engineers routinely install a new filter during the Preventive Maintenance procedure. If your Laser Imager is covered by the Kodak Preventive Maintenance Plan, you do not have to change the charcoal filter. (See “Preventive Maintenance” on page 2-69.)If you do not have the Kodak Preventive Maintenance Plan, replace the charcoal filter

Preventive MaintenanceNotice

3 Troubleshooting

Correcting ErrorsOccasionally errors (malfunctions), such as film jams, may occur in the imager during print operations. You can easily correct minor problems. If more serious malfunctions occur, you should contact a trained Authorized Service Provider of Kodak products (see “Calling for Support” on page 3-17).

Error and Alarm Indications

The Imager can detect malfunctions and other conditions that require operator action. The Local Panel reports the presence of these errors or abnormal conditions in several ways:

• Error Message screen

• Current Errors screen

• Current Errors notice on the Home screen

• Home screen status messages

Home Screen Status Messages

For a description of the status information reported on the Home screen, see “Home Screen Status Line” on page 2-14. Most of these status messages do not report errors or abnormal conditions, but they do give information about the current state of the Imager that may be useful for troubleshooting.Status information about the film supply and film tray is displayed within the Film Tray button on the Home screen. For a description, refer to “Film Supply Button Status Information” on page 2-12.

Troubleshooting

Calibration FailurePeriodically the Imager must be calibrated to ensure that internal settings match the characteristics of the film in the Imager. Calibration is performed by running a calibration print. The Imager runs a calibration print when:

• A film cartridge containing film with new sensitometric characteristics (speed, contrast) is loaded.

• The Imager has not printed film for 7 days.

• The Dpatch (density patch) printed on the film is out of range.

The operator can also request a calibration print from the Local Panel. For more information on calibration, see “Running a Calibration Print” on page 2-53.Occasionally, the Imager may fail calibration. When this occurs, the Local Panel displays an error message screen. Depending on the cause of the calibration failure, the Imager may or may not be able to continue operating.There are four conditions that cause calibration failure. The four error message screens, below and on the next page, describe these error conditions and show recommended operator actions.

These two errors indicate possible film aging. You can elect to continue operation with the current film by touching Yes on the error screen.

3-6 7F3319 October 4, 2004

Troubleshooting

These two calibration errors indicate a major machine or film fault. The Imager cannot continue to operate with the current film.If you cannot restore normal operation by following the recommended action on the error message screen, call for service. (See “Calling for Support” on page 3-17.)

4 Adding a Modality

After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure the Imager to print images from additional modalities. The Imager is capable of receiving images from twelve DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently. Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in the Imager to match the new modality. The following procedure explains how to add one new modality.NOTE: You must have the Service Passcode to perform this

procedure.

Preparing to Add a Modality• Before you begin, make sure that the new modality has been set up to

print to the Imager. The Imager must be available as a print destination in the modality print command.

• You will need the following information about the modality:

– The modality manufacturer

– The modality type (CT, MR, etc.)

– The modality model designation

– The type and size of film to be used

– Is the modality GSDF-compliant?

– If GSDF-compliant, does the modality use PLUTs for all images it sends or only for some images?

• You should also decide on a screen name for the modality. This name will be used only on the Imager Local Panel to identify the modality

October 4, 2004 7F3319 4-1

Adding a Modality

Modality-Related ParametersThe Imager must be configured to print from each connected modality. In the Imager a set of modality-specific parameters must be created for each modality that will print to the Imager. For many modalities, the required parameters can be taken from the "Modality Preferences Database" (MPDB). This internal database, within the Imager, contains tested parameter sets for many commonly used modalities.Modality configuration is accomplished in three ways:

• First Print - When a modality prints to the Imager for the first time, the Imager automatically attempts to identify the type of modality from information included in the print job. If the Imager identifies the modality, it searches for a parameter set in the MPDB. If an appropriate parameter set is not found, the Imager assigns a universal set of parameters to the modality. If the parameter set does not produce acceptable prints, the installer can go on to the "Manufacturer/Model/Type" procedure.

• Manufacturer/Model/Type - If the automatic search in the MPDB is not successful, the installer can enter the Manufacturer, Model and Type of the modality on the Local Panel. The Imager uses this information to search the MPDB again for a set of parameters. A universal parameter set is applied if an approprialte parameter set is not found. If the parameter set is not acceptable, the Installer must use the Manual Entry method.

• Manual Entry - The installer can enter or adjust individual modality parameter values on several modality configuration screens.

For each of the above methods, the user must print a clinical image and check image quality to determine if the parameter set is acceptable.The user can use a combination of manual entry and one of the other two methods. For example, the user may accept the "First Print" parameter set but adjust one or two of the parameters manually to suit local preferences.The parameter set selected using the above methods is placed in a "Connection Database" in the Imager and used to print all images from the modality. The Connection Database contains a separate parameter set for each modality associated with the Imager.

5 Optimizing Image Quality

Image Quality ParametersIf the quality of an image printed by the Imager is not acceptable, you will have to enter new values for the parameters shown on the "Image quality" screen. This section provides basic information that will help you select and enter values for these parameters that are appropriate to the type of modality that sent the image.

The "Image quality" parameters include:

• Image Density - A setting that determines the maximum density (Dmax) that will be used in printing.

• Border density - The density of the border of the film.

• TFT Set - A group of 15 Transfer Function Tables (TFTs) used in Kodak Imagers. Each TFT in the set is a grayscale curve that relates each digital input (pixel) value to a target value of perceived brightness and a corresponding target value of printed optical density.

• Table number - A number (1- 15) which specifies a particular TFT (contrast curve) in the TFT Set selected for printing.

The Advanced Parametersare "Polarity" and "SmoothingType."

October 4, 2004 7F3319 5-1

Optimizing Image Quality

• Advanced - Includes two parameters:

– Polarity - In general, indicates whether an image is black on a white background or the reverse. In this case, specifies whether the Imager will print images with the same polarity as the images sent from the modality (Positive), or the reverse (Negative).

– Smoothing Type - A value (1 - 15) that specifies a level of smoothness/sharpness in transition between density differences.

Selecting the Image Quality Parameter ValuesUse Table 1 (on page 5-4) and Table 2(on page Page 5-8) to select the image quality parameters. The parameter selections are based on modality type. They also depend on whether the modality is GSDF-compliant. (GSDF stands for Grayscale Standard Display Function.)

To select the parameters:

• If the modality is not GSDF-compliant, go to “Non-GSDF Modalities” below.

• If the modality is GSDF-compliant and does not use PLUTs or uses PLUTs for only some images, go to “GSDF-Compliant Modalities” on page 5-9.(PLUT stands for Presentation Look-Up Table.)

• If the modality is GSDF-compliant and uses PLUTs for all images, it is not necessary to change the image quality values in the Imager. Continue with “Setting the Advanced Parameters” on page 4-11.

Non-GSDF Modalities Use this procedure to select parameters for modalities that are not GSDF- Compliant.Write down the parameter values you select.

1. Refer to Table 1 and find the Modality Type for which the Imager is being configured.

2. Choose the TFT Set recommended in the table for this type of modality. If more than one TFT Set is listed, read the Notes in the table for guidance in selecting the appropriate set.

3. Choose the Table No. (contrast setting) recommended for the chosen TFT Set. If a number is in boldface type, choose this number first. (You may have to try more than one Table Number.)

5-2 7F3319 October 4, 2004


4. Choose the Image Density associated with the Table No. you chose. If there is a range of density values:

• Choose the density value indicated in bold if there is one.

• If there is no bold value, choose the middle value. For example, if the range is 2.7 to 3.1, choose 2.9.

• If there are only 2 density values, choose either one.

5. Choose the Smoothing Type from Table 1.

6. For Border Density on the film, choose a low density for a clear border and a high density for a black border. Typically this density is matched to the Image Density. (This parameter is not included in Table 1.)

7. For Polarity of the film, choose either Positive or Negative. Positive is used for most applications. Negative is used by Nuclear Medicine modalities. (This parameter is not included in Table 1.)

8. Continue with “Entering the Image Quality Parameters” on page 5-10.

7 Film Technical Information

General DescriptionThis section describes the characteristics of Kodak DryView Laser Imaging Film, not the operation of the Kodak DryView 8150 Laser Imager. DryView Laser Imaging Film is a high-resolution, infrared-sensitive, photothermographic film designed specifically for the family of Kodak DryView Laser Imagers. DryView Laser Imaging Film is packaged in daylight load packages, available in blue or clear, 7-mil polyester base.The 8150 Laser Imager accepts three film sizes:

• (28 x 35 cm) 11 x 14 in.

• (35 x 35 cm) 14 x 14 in.

• (35 x 43 cm) 14 x 17 in.

Spectral Sensitivity DryView Laser Imaging Film is infrared sensitive and has been sensitized to the infrared laser diode of DryView Laser Imagers. When handled according to instructions on the daylight-load film package, safelights are not needed. If you remove undeveloped film from the daylight load package, you will need a darkroom setting and a green safelight.

Film Technical Information

Relative Log Exposure (Example)

Image Quality DryView Laser Imaging Film delivers diagnostic-quality, continuous-tone images along with sharp alphanumerics and optimum contrast. This high-quality, silver-based film provides radiologists with the same diagnostic information they are accustomed to viewing - including the spatial resolution, contrast and grey levels. Because it is a totally dry imaging process, there is no image quality variability due to “wet” chemistry.

Automatic Image Quality Control

DryView Laser Imaging Film is system-matched for the Kodak patented Automatic Image Quality Control (AIQC) technology. This fully automated system, which is a standard feature of DryView Laser Imagers, is designed to ensure that image quality parameters meet preset user preferences, film-to-film, lot-to-lot.

Environmental Impact Tests show that DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous to the environment. As a result, you can develop, recycle, and dispose of film with less impact on the environment than if you were using wet-developed silver halide films.

Recycling Film According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, DryView Laser Imaging Film is not considered hazardous and requires no special disposal procedures. However, the film does contain silver and polyester that may be recovered by using one of several recycling processes.Call your local Kodak sales representative or go to the Kodak web sitewww.kodak.com/go/KESRefer to Publication J700 and see “End of Life Management' section.

Storing and Handling Undeveloped Film

To achieve consistent results up to the expiration date indicated on the film package, DryView Laser Imaging Film must be stored in a cool, dry place (41° F/5° C to 77° F/25° C) and protected from radiation and chemistry fumes. The film can withstand short-term temperature spikes (up to 95° F/35° C) for several hours during transit without any significant effect on film quality or performance. Transit temperatures above 95° F/35° C will gradually diminish shelf life. If the AIQC encounters film that has been damaged by improper handling, the AIQC will automatically alert system operators.

Handling Developed Film Handling DryView Laser Imaging Film requires reasonable care.Prolonged exposure to intense light or excessive heat (130° F/54.4° C) for more than 3 hours may cause some gradual darkening of images. Leaving films in vehicles in hot climates for extended periods of time is not recommended.Spills, humidity and other forms of water typically have no significant effect on image quality or film integrity. If necessary, film can be cleaned with a clean, damp cloth.For best results, store film in sleeves when not being reviewed. DryView Laser Imaging Film can be left on a light box for more than 24 hours. In extreme cases in which light boxes are exceptionally hot (120° F/49° C), Kodak recommends removing them prior to 8 hours of continuous exposure.Take care when using spotlight viewing for more than 30 seconds because temperatures near the light source may exceed 180° F/82.2° C. Use in slide projectors is not recommended due to the high temperatures generally found in these devices.With DryView technology, a small amount of final development occurs when the film exits the Laser Imager and is initially exposed to ambient or view-box lighting. This is virtually undetectable and has no effect on image quality (i.e., typically 0.02 change in density). This small density increase is uniform and permanent upon full exposure of the film under normal handling conditions (i.e., room light or view box).

Archiving Developed Film DryView Laser Imaging Film has been tested and can be archived for more than 100 years when stored at American National Standards Institute (ANSI) recommended storage conditions (77° F/25° C). Developed films may be stored at higher temperatures; however, that may reduce the number of years the film can be stored. For example, storing films at a constant elevated temperature of 90° F/32.2° C may reduce archive capability to 30 years.

Dissipating Odor DryView technology eliminates virtually all unpleasant odors. While some low-level odors are produced during the development process, they pose no known adverse health risks. Processing odor levels are further reduced by a non-hazardous, recyclable filter in the Laser Imager. This filter traps most low-level odors and prevents them from dissipating into the work

7-4 7F3319 October 4, 2004


environment. To help maintain optimum performance, the filter requires periodic replacement. DryView Laser Imagers require no special venting.

Dissipating Heat DryView Laser Imagers use controlled heat to develop DryView Laser Imaging Film. The heat has virtually no effect on the air temperature of the work area. The amount of heat dissipated into an area during a day is typically less than the heat generated by four 100-watt light bulbs.
