Service Guide Section 4: Calibrations Four parameters must be calibrated in the Point-of-Care CR 360: origin, offset, system gain tuning, and OCPC process. The unit is calibrated at the factory before it is shipped. Calibration is necessary after replacing or re- installing certain components, as detailed in the replacement procedures themselves.
Calibrations Origin Calibration The origin calibration determines the starting point of a scanning procedure (x,y coordinates). Origin calibration must be performed after replacing the linear slide assembly, optical head assembly, or the linear limit (Origin) sensors. [1] Make a 10 mR exposure of a 14 x 17 in. flat field. •...
Service Guide Offset Calibration The offset calibration can be performed only if the Origin parameter is calibrated. The offset calibration is required to set the zero level needed to convert output signals from Analog to Digital signals. This auto zero process determines the noise level before any image acquisition and provides the appropriate offset. [1] In the Setup tab, check 16-bit Image.
Calibrations System Gain Tuning Purpose Note System gain tuning can be performed only if the Origin and Offset parameters are calibrated. System gain tuning sets the internal electronic gain. The electronic gain is tuned using a 10mR exposure to obtain a target code value of 48,000 (16,000 counts).
Service Guide OCPC Process Calibration Purpose Every optical collector has its own unique profile (signature) along the scan line. During this process an algorithm is applied to compensate for this profile and to flatten the flat field. In this test, a 12-bit raw image should be inspected (AR folder image). OCPC Process Calibration Procedure Important Before you continue, be sure the cassette has been manually erased.

Calibrations [7] Verify that 14 x 17 HS is marked with a green check mark. [8] Repeat the procedure on three types of cassettes: • 14 x 17 HR • 8 x 10 HR • 10 x 12 HR [9] Record the results in the Calibration Report. Note When the system is ready for clinical use, verify that the 16-bit option in Setup is unchecked.

Section 12: Acceptance Test Procedure Scope This section describes the procedure used to test the performance of the Point-of-Care CR 360 once installation is completed. The procedure should be performed by a field engineer, and ensures that the system is functioning according to the manufacturer’s design and specifications.
Acceptance Test Procedure [4] Go to Settings>Setup. [5] Verify that the following check boxes are selected: • KODAK Image Processing • Black surround • Grid suppression • 16-bit linear data • Framing [6] In the Scan screen click SKULL and select the PATTERN view position from the sub list.
Service Guide System Response and Linearity This procedure tests the following: • System response and linearity. • Exposure index. CR requires that the code value at each pixel accurately reflects the X-ray exposure at that location. For Point-of-Care 360 systems, the code values are calibrated to be linearly related to the X-ray exposure.
Acceptance Test Procedure Uniformity and Artifacts In CR and all other imaging, image artifacts can degrade diagnostic quality. The purpose of this test is to inspect the image uniformity using “flat-field” exposure and to perform visual inspection of artifacts. Uniform exposures provide a stringent test for many common image artifacts that can occur in CR systems.
