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 opera-
tor 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.
The equipment is sold with the understanding that the General Electric Company, Medical Systems Group, its
agents, 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.
CERTIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR STATEMENT
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.

DAMAGE IN TRANSPORTATION
All packages should be closely examined at time of delivery. If damage is apparent, have notation “damage in
shipment” written on all copies of the freight or express bill before delivery is accepted or “signed for” by a Gen-
eral Electric representative or a hospital receiving agent. Whether noted or concealed, damage MUST be reported
to the carrier immediately upon discovery, or in any event, within 14 days after receipt, and the contents and con-
tainers held for inspection by the carrier. A transportation company will not pay a claim for damage if an inspection
is not requested within this 14 day period.
Call Traffic and Transportation, Milwaukee, WI (414) 827-3449 / 8*285-3449 immediately after damage is found.
At this time be ready to supply name of carrier, delivery date, consignee name, freight or express bill number, item
damaged and extent of damage.
Complete instructions regarding claim procedure are found in Section “S” of the Policy & Procedure Bulletins.

3-2-1 SSP phantom centering (Refer to Illustration 3-2)

1. Put SSP phantom on the phantom holder, open positioning light. Move SSP phantom to left or right to set sag-
ittal marker line at the center of SSP.
2. Use “In/Out/Up/Down” buttons on control panel of Gantry to set coronal marker line on the wire hole.

3-2-2 Get The Scout and Axial Images

1. Click “New Patient”, input Patient ID and “SSP” in Patient Name. Select head protocol to finish a scout scan
and set up six axial scan groups with different thickness for 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10mm. On scout image, move axial
localizer to set DFOV center on superposition of the center of Tungsten wire. (Refer to Illustration 3-3 and Il-
lustration 3-4 for the setup of axial groups)
Note: Set WW=30, WL=-80 on scout image to get a clear Tungsten wire display.
For axial groups, select mA=100, DFOV=5cm, 1 image per group and Interval=0.
That means scan the same position of Tungsten wire with 6 different thickness without cradle movement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
This step is only needed for your first time to use SSP phantom in order to get the K value.
For afterwards regular measurement every month, you can skip this step and use the K val-
ue directly in thickness calculation, because one SSP phantom will have a fix K value for
same system.
1. In ImageWorks, view scout image on the screen with one image format.
Note: WW=30, WL=-80
2. Click On button, grid scale will overlay on the scout image.

3. Put mouse on grid, press down left key and hold, draw the grid to set +10 scale of horizontal axis just on the
Tungsten wire. Then you get a right-angle triangle ABC and AC=10. (Refer to Illustration 3-6)
Illustration 3-6 Right-angle triangle ABC and AC=10
10 scale point on
Tungsten wire
4. Count the scales of BC. BC=5 in this example.

Note: BC may be some other number in your system, such as BC=4.8, or 5.2, etc.
5. Calculate K value of your SSP phantom by formula: K=BC/AC
In this example, K=5/10=0.5

Note
For CT of Linux system, skip Step 3-2-4-1 and go directly to Step 3-2-4-2.
3-2-4-1 For CT of IRIX system (O2 Computer).

1. Open Image Profile function:
Click mouse left key by sequence: Service → Image Quality → Image Profile, Image Profile window occurs
on the screen. Click “Browse” button.

5. A profile occur and a HMW value displays on the bottom-right corner of the image.
For this example, the HMW=2.64mm.
6. Multiply HMW value by K value to get measured thickness, we have got K=0.5 in 3-2-3, Step 5.
2.64x0.5=1.32(mm)
7. Compare measured thickness 1.32mm with selected scan thickness 1mm to get the tolerance.
(1.32-1)/1=0.32=3.2%
8. Repeat steps 2 to 7 to measure other thickness.
For thickness<=2mm, the tolerance standard is <±50%
For thickness>2mm, the tolerance standard is <±1mm

THK: the thickness value, which is got by K val multiply HMW value.
HMW: FWHM value (Full Width Half Maximum).
7. Click “Save Screen” button. Wait for the following prompt window. This SSP profile image will be saved under
the same Examination number with series name “SSAVE”.
