IMPORTANT! . . . X-RAY PROTECTION


X-ray equipment if not properly used may cause injury. Accordingly, the instructions herein contained
should be thoroughly read and understood by everyone who will use the equipment before you attempt to
place this equipment in operation. The General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, will be glad to
assist and cooperate in placing this equipment in use.
Although this apparatus incorporates a high degree of protection against x-radiation other than the useful beam, no
practical design of equipment can provide complete protection. Nor can any practical design compel the operator to
take adequate precautions to prevent the possibility of any persons carelessly exposing themselves or others to
radiation.
It is important that everyone having anything to do with x-radiation be properly trained and fully acquainted with the
recommendations of the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements as published in NCRP Reports
available from NCRP Publications, 7910 Woodmont Avenue, Room 1016, Bethesda, Maryland 20814, and of the
International Commission on Radiation Protection, and take adequate steps to protect against injury.

and representatives have no responsibility for injury or damage which may result from improper use of the equipment.
Various protective material and devices are available. It is urged that such materials or devices be used.

    



 
All electrical installations that are preliminary to positioning of the equipment at the site prepared for the equipment shall be
performed by licensed electrical contractors. In addition, electrical feeds into the Power Distribution Unit shall be performed
by licensed electrical contractors. Other connections between pieces of electrical equipment, calibrations, and testing shall
be performed by qualified GE Medical personnel. The products involved (and the accompanying electrical installations) are
highly sophisticated, and special engineering competence is required.

In performing all electrical work on these products, GE will use its own specially trained field engineers. All of GE’s electrical
work on these products will comply with the requirements of the applicable electrical codes.

The purchaser of GE equipment shall only utilize qualified personnel (i.e., GE’s field engineers, personnel of third-party
service companies with equivalent training, or licensed electricians) to perform electrical servicing on the equipment.

Gravity SAG Amplitude


For this procedure, the gravity pin is attached to the X–ray tube collimator during axial scans. This program measures
fluctuations of the projection of the pin onto the Detector to check for abnormalities of the rotating mechanism (bend,
vibrations, etc.).
Perform two off–line scans (see Section 2-2,Off–Line Scan), following the instructions described below:

1. Air File:
Remove the Bow–tie filter from the collimator, and scan air. Record the series No.

ISO Center Channel


The ISO CENTER CHANNEL program determines the center channel of the Detector which receives the projection
of a pin placed in the reconstruction area. The system determines the center channel at each view, then calculates
the average center channel and displays it along with instructions to shift the X–ray tube into proper alignment. Shift
the X–ray tube tangentially to the rotation circle. The correct ISO center channel is 317.75 Ch.
The adjustment tolerance is ± 0.02 Ch. Perform four off–line scans (see Section 2-2, Off–Line Scan), following the
instructions described below:

ER–437 OD Study Incorrect, No Store


ID = XX:XXXXX.XX.XX:XX

Either only Study Inf. or only Image Inf. exists in the Study when storing to OD. So, impossible to store.
Countermeasure: Perform OD sweeper in Maintenance Program.

ER–438 ID Max Over

(No Error Code)


The Image is NOT stored because the ID, listed–up in store, exceeds maximum value of acquisition
numbers of the media.

ER–439 Image Number Max Over

(No Error Code)


This message appears when number of images in one study exceed the capacity of the system or MOD.

ER–440 OD Study Inf Nothing


MODNO = XXXXX MACNO = XXXXX STDNO = XXXXX

Image inf. file of the study exists, but the OD cannot find corresponding Image data, so it cannot retrieve
the data.
Countermeasure: Perform OD sweeper in Maintenance Program.

ER–441 OD Image Inf. Nothing


MODNO = XXXXX MACNO = XXXXX STDNO = XXXXX

The Study exists in OD, but the Image Inf. File of the Study does not exist in OD. So, impossible to ac-
cess the Study.
Countermeasure: Perform OD sweeper in Maintenance Program.

ER–442 OD study Inf. Incorrect


MODNO = XXXXX MACNO = XXXXX STDNO = XXXXX
NO. OF IMAGES IN STUDY INF = XXX
NO. OF IMAGES IN IMAGE INF. FILE = XXX
The Number of Images in Study Inf. differs from the actual number of Inf. in Image Inf. File in OD. Ti
is possible to display, but impossible to write.

SECTION 7 – IMAGE SPATIAL RESOLUTION

7-1 DESCRIPTION

MTR Survey Program


Image spatial resolution can be measured by scanning a GE Performance Phantom and analyzing the acquired image
with the MTF Survey program included in Support within the Maintenance menu.

The MTF Survey program calculates MTF data by the two–dimensional Fourier Transform of the point spread function
using pixel data around the wire.
Since the program stores the result to a mean file, analyze the result using Support display, and evaluate the system
spatial resolution performance.

The following section describes the procedure for this spatial resolution evaluation using MTF Survey.

D GE Performance Phantom (2102580)

7-2-1 Scanning the GE Performance Phantom


1. Set the GE Performance Phantom approximately at the scan center.

2. Touch the [New Patient] button, and then select [Neck].

3. Select ‘OFF’ for Motion Correction

4. Adjust the position of the phantom so that the wire point within the phantom is positioned at the scan center:

a. Perform an axial scan with the following parameters:


3.6 or 4.5 sec, 120kV, 160mA (others: default)

b. Display a grid.

c. Measure the distance between the wire point and the scan center in the following way:

i. Press the [Crsr] key to display a crosshair cursor.

ii. Move the cursor using the trackball to the wire point, and then, press the [Dist Angle] key to copy the
cursor over the wire point.

iii. Move the cursor vertically to the X Axis, and then, press [Dist Angle] again, to deposit the end location
and display the distance between the wire point and the X axis (A). See illustration 7–1.

iv. Perform the above to measure the distance between the wire point and the Y axis (B).

d. Shift the phantom so that the wire point is positioned at the scan center, according to the distances measured
at the above step.
Use the up–sown adjuster and right–left adjuster o the phantom holder (one turn: 1mm movement).

e. Repeat steps a through d, until the wire point is positioned at the scan center within ± 0.5mm.
If the image shows a white band over the wire point, this indicates that the wire point is not yet positioned
correctly at the scan center. See illustration 7–2.

SECTION 1 – POWER UP SEQUENCE

1-1 OVERVIEW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (INCLUDE: READING HEXA–DECIMAL LED STATUS)


The Power–ON test program is used for OC self–diagnostics during the Power up sequence, and is resident in the
ROM on the CPW assy.

This test program has two categories: Power On Test 1 (P–ON1) and Power On Test 2 (P–ON2).
The P–ON Test 2 includes more detailed tests than P–ON Test 1, and takes longer to run.
P–ON Test 1 is normally selected during routine customer operation. P–ON Test 2 can be used by the field engineer
to perform a more detailed analysis in the event of an error occurring on the system.

During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in 2 or 3 ways depending on the test concerned as follows:

1. CPW LEDs (all tests)

2. CRT display monitor (all tests, except CPW Phase 1, and DISP Phase 1 tests)

3. Terminal connected to CPW RS232C output (all tests)

See Section 1-2 for more details.

If at any point during the P–ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the failed test number/code
remains on the CPW LEDs. With the exception of CPW Phase 1 and DISP Phase 1 tests, the test name/description
will also be displayed on the CRT monitor along with a brief error description.

Note
There normally no need to connect a CPW RS232C terminal, since no additional information other
than that on the LEDs and monitor can be obtained during P–ON Tests. Connecting a terminal is only
necessary for the execution of the off line tests.

The total processing time is as follows:

Table 1–1 Test Processing Time

Test Processing Time Time from Test Start, to System


Ready
P–ON 1 Test 4:00 minutes. 4:16 minutes.
P–ON 2 Test 13:05 minutes. 13:21 minutes.

1-1 OVERVIEW (continued)

Reading Hexa–decimal Numbers from LEDs


The hexa–decimal number in each rectangle herein represents the LED status displayed on the CPW board. Read
the LEDs from top to bottom (MSB to LSB). Decode the top four LEDs to create the most significant hex digit (the
leftmost digit) and the bottom four to create the least significant hex digit (the rightmost digit). All hexa–decimal codes
are displayed with the letter ‘H’.

More detailed status and information is displayed on the CRT from CPW Phase 2 test, so it is normally not necessary
to decode the LEDs status.

Example:

8
7
6
5 bit 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 (LSB)
4 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 (90H)
3
2
1

‘F’ means ‘Illuminated’ and equals ‘1’: ‘f’ equals ‘0’. LEDs are set at the start of each routine. If any error occurs during
self–testing, the LEDs display the corresponding error code.

1-2 PREPARATION FOR TEST

1-2-1 Switch Setting


Set the DIP switch on the CPW Assy (location 8A1) as required according to the following:

ON :1
OFF :0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Normally
OFF

Communication Speed
1 2 3 Test Mode Selection 7 8
(Unit: Baud)
1 X X Test Skip 0 0 9600
0 1 X OFF–Line Test 0 1 1200
0 0 1 Power On Test 2 1 0 2400
0 0 0 Power On Test 1 1 1 19200
X: Don’t Care. The following parameters are set by default with
each speed setting and cannot be cancelled;–
1. Character length = 8 bits
2. Stop Bit = 1 bit
3. Party = None

The DIP SW setting information is read at the moment of system power up or reset. Changing the DIP switch setting
during test execution will have no effect on the test sequence. If you want to change the parameters, first set the DIP
SW accordingly, then press the OC reset switch to start the test.

Note
This test program does not write any data to the HD, but it does require a properly formatted HD.
i.e.: The tests will run with a normal operational HD, but not with an unformatted replacement HD.

1-5 CRASH SAVE AREA


When abnormal termination is caused by any failure (Bus Error, Address Error, or OS task crash), error information
is stored into an area of Memory called the ‘Crash Save Area’. Each processor has a Crash Save Area.

The Crash Save Area contains the following information:

Program Counter 
Status Register  at crash
Other registers 
LED status 

For details, see illustration 1–3.

The Crash Save Area on each processor is saved onto the hard disk at power–on. You can also save this information
onto floppy diskette as shown in illustration 1–4. Use the following procedure to transfer Crash Save Area information
to floppy diskette.

Under crash condition:

1. Label a crash save floppy diskette and insert it into the floppy disk drive.

Note
The first time you use this diskette, initialize it for a crash save according to Appendix A, How to Make
Crash Save disk.

2. Pull the system reset switch with the diskette in place to automatically transfer a copy of the crash save area
of each processor onto the diskette. The system rest switch is located beneath OC keyboard console extension.

3. Use the following procedure to read the contents of the diskette.

a. Insert the BOOT diskette into the floppy disk drive.

b. Set the BOOT select switch on the CPW board to the following positions:

ON
1 2 3 4

c. Pull the system reset switch.

d. Make sure the ‘>’ prompt appears on the CRT monitor, and then remove the BOOT diskette and inset the
crash cave diskette.

e. The diskette contents should resemble illustration 1–4.

SECTION 2 – OFF–LINE TEST

2-1 GENERAL

2-1-1 Overview
The off–line tests for diagnosing each of the following electronic boards and some components (Hard disk drive, Audio
Assy, etc.) installed within the Operator Console are provided on each separate floppy diskettes.

D CPW

D MISC (and TPC)

D DISP

D IPU

D SBPU

The off–line tests for MISC include communication tests between CPW and the processor equipped within the Gantry.

The off–line tests perform more extensive diagnostics than the on–line tests described in the previous section.
The off–line tests report which device or operation is the cause of a system or information system failure.

The off–line tests except for the CPW board are provided on floppy diskettes. The off–line test for the CPW board
is provided on the ROM on the CPW board. The off–line tests are interactive ones, requiring an external display termi-
nal.

The test proceedings or error information occurred during the test execution are shown on the CPW status LEDs as
well as on the display. The status LEDs turn off when all the off–line tests have been finished without an error.

Illustration 2–1 shows the general flow of the off–line tests except the ETC off–line test.

3-1 ETC POWER–ON TEST

3-1-1 General
The ETC (DC–X Ethernet Controller Interface) Power–ON Test program is used for ETC self–diagnostics during the
Power up sequence, and is resident in the ROM on the ETC assy.

During test execution, the test currently running, along with the description/name and status (pass/fail), are identified
in ETC LEDs.

If at any point during the Power–ON Tests an error is encountered, the testing is halted and the error code displays
on the ETC LEDs.

3-1-2 Reading ETC Board LEDs


The lower byte (8 bits) indicates the ETC process, the ETC Power–ON Test and current status in start–up sequence,
and the upper byte (8 bits) indicates the ETC status.

SECTION 3 – TGP OFF–LINE TEST

3-1 TABLE PROCESSOR OFF–LINE TEST


The TGP Assembly contains two micro processor system. (i.e., Gantry Processor and Table Processor)

Theses Processor systems can execute the OFF–LINE programs used for subsystem Adjustment, Functional Check
and Diagnostics.

Each Processor holds test programs in its own PROM. Execute each Processor’s OFF–LINE TEST program inde-
pendently with the DIAG switches and test switches.

The Micro Processor displays the test results and/or error on the Gantry Display Panel, so it requires a normally oper-
ating TABLE Processor display function. Execute the OFF–LINE TEST program after successful completion of the
TABLE PROCESSOR DISPLAY TEST.

The OFF–LINE TEST program performs three operations:

D Real Time Monitor Mode (I/O Status Check)


Use this mode to monitor Table /Gantry subsystem position information.
[Cradle Position, Table height, Tilt Angle (Table Processor) and Azimuth Position (Gantry Processor)] and
Status of Micro Processor’s I/O ports.

D Response Test Mode (Sequential function Test)


Micro Processor performs I/O port response check, internal timer function check, internal pulse generator
function check, cradle drive operation check (Table Processor) and Collimator drive operation check
(Gantry Processor).

D Simulate Test Mode (I/O Port Bit Check Tool)


Use this test mode to manipulate output port bits selected by test switches.
Use the Gantry Panel Switches to set bit data for the Table Processor test. Use the TGP manual switches
to set bit data for Gantry Processor Test.

SECTION 1 – DETECTOR CHANNEL

1-1 DETECTOR CHANNEL ARRAY


The active and reference channels are connected the DAS. The ground channels are both ground and connected
to the DAS. The 32 reference channels are divided into two groups of 6 channels each. The channels of each group
are connected in parallel, so they produce 2 reference signals, one from each group of 16 reference channels. The
reference signals are used to apply corrections to the acquired x–ray view data.

SECTION 2 – IMAGE PROBLEMS (DETECTOR RELATED)

2-1 ARTIFACT PROBLEM


The following illustrations are examples which may be caused by DAS component failure.

Single Channel Ring

The failure of one input capacitor or one Detector channel causes a single
Phantom failure . Illustration shows an example of single channel ring. To identify a
DAS channel, measure the ring diameter and use the ring diameter chart
(Section 1-2).

Single Channel Streak

If a single channel failure occurs during one view period, it appears as


Phantom single line on image (streak). To identify the DAS channel which caused this
streak, use the circle cursor to measure the distance from image center to
the streak, then use the ring diameter chart (Section 1-2) to determine the
DAS channel. This failure can also be caused by a single channel signal
view data drop during data conversion or data transfer.

22 Channel Wide Band

A unit conditioning circuit failure causes 22 channels to fail. Illustration


Phantom shows an example of a 22 Channel Wide Band Ring.

SECTION 1 – FAILURE ANALYSIS

1-1 LED INDICATORS

1-1-1 Power Cont Board


The Power Cont board contains 42 LEDs that provide XG system status and information. During XG system trouble-
shooting, some LEDs provide valuable information that speeds up the troubleshooting process.

The LEDs D1 ∼ D5 illuminates only during OFF–LINE exposure mode, that is, when the cable is connected between
CN15 and CN1. These LEDs display the XG system status during OFF–LINE exposure.
