Sequence of Operation

1. When the CR 825/850 SYSTEM has made a raw image, the MCPU BOARD A2 sends the
raw image file to the following directory on the INTERNAL PC: D:\images\Raw_Inbox.
2. The software on the INTERNAL PC that monitors the Raw_Inbox, automatically processes
the image file in the Raw_Inbox folder:
• makes a subsample by 9 image and places it in the folder
D:\images\Raw_Inbox\full or xxx_full
• applies the correct PTone algorithm for the body part in the image, changes the image
values by changing the values to the values in the Lookup Table for that body part, and
places the processed image in the folder D:\images\Raw_Inbox\lut or xxx_lut
• makes a subsample by 4 image and places the image in the folder
D:\images\Raw_Inbox\ss4 or xxx.jpg. This image is the one displayed on the TOUCH
SCREEN MONITOR for review by the operator.
• improves the subsample by 4 image by doing Edge Enhancements (EE), Enhanced
Visual Processing (EVP), and Black Surround Mask (BSM) and places the image in
the folder D:\images\Raw_Inbox\xx4 or xxx_raw
• makes a thumbnail image from the improved subsample by 4 image and places the
image in the folder D:\images\Raw_Inbox\thumbnail or xxx.tmb.jpg
3. The software on the INTERNAL PC that monitors the Delivery_Inbox moves image files to
the D:\images\Delivery_Inbox directory and processes the images:
• connects the image with the correct record for the patient in the Data Demographics
Services (DDS) database on the INTERNAL PC
• does EE, EVP, and BSM image processing on the full resolution image - in QA Mode,
after the operator presses "ACCEPT" - in Pass-Through Mode, occurs automatically
The INTERNAL PC receives raw images from the MCPU BOARD A2, processes
the images, and stores or sends the images to given nodes in the hospital
network. ETHERNET CABLES connect the NETWORK INTERFACE CARDS (NIC)
on the INTERNAL PC to:
• MCPU BOARD A2
• hospital network
