Revision 1
9-3-4
The collimator is visible in the field of view
Run the flatfield test, locate the bad ROIs or bad pixels.
If there are bad pixels or bad ROIS, check tube tilt, cen-
tering and collimator format calibrations. If necessary
redo these calibrations.
9-3-5
Detector response is unequal at some rows, columns, or groups of pixels
1. Check that there is no visible group of defective of pixels (a group of defective pixels = 2 pixels or
more which are significantly darker or brighter than the background). Use the mouse middle button to
adjust contrast and brightness such that window width WW is less than 200. If necessary, take an
image in the Medical Application and use the AWS display tools.
2. If there is at least one group: check that the mirror is clean and free from dust (if not, clean it up) and
redo the gain calibration in the configuration of the test which is failing. Move slightly the Flat Field
phantom between each X-ray exposure
3. Redo the Flat Field test in the same configuration
4. If it is not passing, run the bad pixel calibration. Move the Flat Field phantom between each X-ray
exposures.
5. Redo the Flat Field test in the same configuration.
6. If it is still not passing contact OLC.
9-4
Signal–to–Noise Ratio Non uniformity fails
Typical causes are:
1. The X-ray beam is badly centered; carry out the
Job Card CAL A027 - Tube Tilt Calibration on page
1681
and
Job Card CAL A029 - Collimator Format
Calibration on page
2. The detector sensitivity is not uniform; locate in the
graphical window the area having a poor SNR (low
mean signal or high standard deviation). Calibrate
gain in the MoMo/no grid configuration, and run the
test again. If the SNR Non uniformity result is still
above the Upper Specification Limit, call your OLC
for a possible detector replacement.

Questions and answers
G.E.Essential l have recently bought What is the full weight.of the mamo Full weight of the console and other İtem's also measurements of each item with the main machine please All this Shipping Company required
The GE Senographe DS mammography machine is shipped in three crates with the following dimensions and weights:
- Crate 1 (Gantry, Generator Cabinet, and ramp):
- Dimensions: 2066 mm (81.34 in) depth × 848 mm (33.39 in) width × 2292 mm (90.24 in) height
- Mass: 641 kg (1410.2 lbs)
- Crate 2 (Control Station):
- Dimensions: 1110 mm (43.70 in) depth × 770 mm (30.31 in) width × 1850 mm (72.83 in) height
- Mass: 210.5 kg (464.07 lbs) for truck transport (without side covers and lid)
- Mass: 223.5 kg (492.73 lbs) for plane/boat transport (with side covers and lid)
- Crate 3 (Detector):
- Dimensions: 872 mm (34.33 in) depth × 2270 mm (89.37 in) width × 260 mm (10.24 in) height
- Mass: 104.4 kg (229.68 lbs)
### Total Mass:
- For truck transport: 641 + 210.5 + 104.4 = 955.9 kg (2104.95 lbs)
- For plane/boat transport: 641 + 223.5 + 104.4 = 968.9 kg (2133.61 lbs)
These values include the gantry, generator cabinet, control station, detector, and all related components.
