1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors Modes Of Operation The PaxScan product family supports a number of modes of operation as defined in Table 18. In general, there is a trade-off between varying operation modes of resolution in respect to field of view, frame rate or noise. The sensitivity of the detector is optimized to match the X-ray dose used in each mode.
1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors Operational States The operational states of the detector can be categorized as follows: • Offset Calibration (always OEM-initiated) • Gain Calibration (always OEM-initiated) • Analog Offset Calibration (always-OEM initiated) • Continuous Acquisition (fluoroscopy-type) 10.0 System Software The software package allows installation of the Virtual CP that provides the application program interface (API) to the detector, allowing control and image transfer functionality (see the Virtual CP Interface document for more information).

1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors A System Settings window appears. The detector image corrections may be changed. Figure 36 System Settings Window 10.5 Calibration Procedures This section describes the different calibration procedures that are necessary for the detector function. 10.5.1 Offset Calibration Offset calibration compensates for fixed pattern pixel intensity variations in the image associated with the dark current and electronic offsets.
1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors A different offset reference image is necessary for each operating mode, therefore it is important to update the offset data for each of the operating Note modes. Perform an offset calibration in each mode when a gain calibration is Note performed.
1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors An Offset Calibration Process window appears followed by Offset Calibration Acquisition Completion. Figure 39 Offset Calibration Progress Window 10.5.3 Gain Calibration To compensate for non-uniformities in the detector, a gain reference image (flat field) is used by the Corrections module to correct all images.
1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors This range ensures that gain calibration meets both the upper and lower dose requirements under all modes of operation. The generator X-ray source settings determine the dose requirement. To reduce the effects of noise, the average of each pixel in the flat field image is calculated by accumulating a number of frames into an internal memory buffer, then dividing the sum of each pixel by the number of frames acquired.
1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors 10.5.4 Fluoroscopic Mode Gain Calibration Steps It is critical that the detector not be turned off or the Ethernet cable WARNING removed during any calibration.

1313DXT-I/1515DXT-I/2520DX-I/3030DX-I X-ray Detectors 11.0 Maintenance In principle, the detector assembly is maintenance-free; however, it is important that all correction files are regularly updated and used for image processing. In some applications, it is advantageous to update the offset correction file directly before each image. Although the a-Si detectors are resistant to X-rays, they can exhibit degradation over time when exposed to high X-ray dose environments.
