Introduction 1-7
1-7 SAFETY
Everyone associated with x-ray work must be familiar with the

recommendations of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health
(CDRH), National Bureau of Standards, the National Council on
Radiation Protection (NCRP), and the International Committee on
Radiation Protection (ICRP). The control of diagnostic medical
x-ray equipment changes slightly from state to state. In general, all
states adhere to the established recommendations of the NCRP.
Be sure that all personnel authorized to operate the x-ray system are
familiar with the established regulations of the authorities named
above. You might wish to monitor all personnel to ensure
compliance with recommended procedures.
Current source of information includes:

• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) Report No. 49 (“Structural Shielding Design and
Evaluation for Medical Use of X Ray and Gamma Ray Energies
up to 10 MEV – 1976")
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP) Report No. 102 ("Medical X-ray, Electron Beam, and
Gamma Ray Protection for Energies up to 50 MEV – Equipment
Design, Performance, and Use – 1989").
• National Bureau of Standards Handbook No. 76 ("Medical x-ray
Protection up to Three Million Volts"); Refer to NCRP Report No.
102.
• Current recommendations of the International Committee on
Radiation Protection.
Although x-radiation is hazardous, x-ray equipment does not pose

any danger when properly used. Be certain all service and operating
personnel are properly educated concerning the hazards of radiation.
Persons responsible for the system must understand the safety
requirements and special warnings for x-ray operation. Review this
manual to become aware of all safety and operation requirements.
1-7-1 Maximum Permissible Dose (MPD)
Various studies on the effects of x-radiation have provided a

foundation for establishing the maximum permissible dose of
x-radiation to which an individual may be exposed. The results of
these studies have been used by the NCRP and the ICRP to develop
recommendations for MPD.
1-8 Introduction
ICRP recommends that the MPD to the most critical organs (heart,
lungs, liver, kidney, and brain) accumulated at any age shall not
exceed five rems multiplied by the number of years beyond 18:
MPD = 5 x (n -18) rems

where n = age in years
In no case shall the exposure exceed three rems in any period of 13

consecutive weeks.
For hands, forearms, feet, and ankles, the recommended MPD is 75

rems in any one year.
1-7-2 Manufacturer’s Responsibility
Although this equipment incorporates protection against x-radiation

other than the useful beam, practical design does not provide
complete protection. Equipment design does not compel the
operator or assistants to take the necessary precautions; nor does it
prevent the possibility of improper use (authorized or unauthorized
persons carelessly, unwisely, or unknowingly exposing themselves
or others to direct or secondary radiation). Allow only authorized,
properly trained personnel to operate this equipment.
Be certain that all individuals authorized to use the equipment are

aware of the danger of excessive exposure to x-radiation.
This equipment is sold with the understanding that Fischer Imaging,

its agents and representatives, do not accept any responsibility for
overexposure of patients or personnel to x-radiation.
Furthermore, Fischer Imaging does not accept any responsibility for

overexposure of patients or personnel to x-radiation generated by
this equipment as a result of poor operating techniques or
procedures.
Also, no responsibility is assumed for any unit that has not been
serviced and maintained in accordance with the technical service
manual, or which has been modified or tampered with in any way.
Introduction 1-9
1-7-3 Radiation Protection
Because exposure to x-radiation may be damaging to health, use

great care to provide protection against exposure to the primary
beam. Some effects of x-radiation are cumulative, and may extend
over a period of months or years. The best safety rule for x-ray
operators is to avoid exposure to the primary beam at all times.
Any object in the path of the primary beam produces secondary

(scattered) radiation. The intensity of the secondary radiation is
dependent upon the energy and intensity of the primary beam, and
on the atomic number of the object or material struck by the primary
beam. Secondary radiation may be of greater intensity than that of
the radiation reaching the detector receptor. Take protective
measures to safeguard against secondary radiation.
An effective protective measure is the use of lead shielding. To

minimize dangerous exposure, use movable lead screens, lead-
impregnated gloves, and lead-impregnated aprons. These protective
devices must contain a 0.25 millimeter thickness of lead or the
equivalent. Use such protective devices for all operators, observers,
and/or servicing personnel exposed to radiation fields of 5 or more
milli Roentgens per hour.
1-7-4 Monitoring Personnel
Monitoring personnel to determine the amount of radiation to which

they have been exposed provides a valuable crosscheck to determine
whether or not safety measures are adequate. This crosscheck may
reveal inadequate or improper radiation protection practices and/or
serious radiation exposure situations.
The most effective method of determining whether the existing

protective measures are adequate is the use of instruments to
measure the exposure (in rads). This measurement should be taken
at all locations where the operator, or any portion of the operator’s
body, may be inadequately shielded during exposure. Exposure
must never exceed the accepted tolerable dose.
A common method of determining whether personnel have been

exposed to excessive radiation is the use of film badges. These are
x-ray sensitive film enclosed in a badge which incorporates metal
filters of varying degrees of transparency to x-ray radiation. Even
though this device only measures the radiation reaching the area of
the body on which it is worn, it does furnish an indication of the
amount of radiation received.

1-9 CORRECT EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Correct equipment installation begins with adequate structural

shielding. The ceiling, floor, doors, windows, and interior partitions
of the radiological area must be evaluated and designed to include
necessary attenuating barrier materials. You must install the
operator’s acquisition station enclosure, containing a lead-glass
technologist shield, within the radiological area. A current source of
information on this subject is the National Council of Radiation
Protection and Measurements (NCRP) Report No. 49 "Structural
Shielding Design and Evaluation of Medical Use of X-rays and
Gamma Rays of Energies Up To 10 MEV," 7910 Woodmont
Avenue, Suite 800, Bethesda, MD 20814-3095.
In addition to these considerations, radiological installations must

comply with all applicable local, municipal, and state electrical
codes and laws.

2-5 STATUS AND FAULT INDICATORS ON CIRCUIT BOARDS
2-5-1 Generator Circuit Boards

On-board LED’s are used on some circuit boards in the SenoScan
generator cabinet to indicate various status and fault conditions.
These indicators can be helpful when diagnosing system problems
because they allow you to easily determine certain system states
and/or conditions, and the presence of required voltages by simply
observing the LED indicators.
Indicators on the System Interface circuit board (SIB) and the VME
circuit board can be seen at the front of the card cage when the front
cover is removed from the SenoScan generator cabinet.
Indicators on the kVp and Filament Control circuit board and the
Digital Mammo CPU circuit board can be seen when the front cover
is removed from the SenoScan generator cabinet and the hinged
cover on the inverter assembly is open.

SECTION 3
ADJUSTMENT AND CALIBRATION PROCEDURES
3-1 GENERAL
This section provides instructions for all SenoScan adjustments and
calibrations that can be accomplished in the field.
In this section, references to the left or right side of the gantry are as
viewed from the patient’s position.
Locations on the breast support surface are defined relative to the
patient’s position, and are expressed as chest wall, nipple side, right,
and left sides.
References to the left, right, or back sides of the generator are as
viewed from the front side of the generator cabinet.
Note: Some adjustments and calibrations described in this section re-

quire that you login to the SenoScan as an Administrator so that
you can access specific administration screens and make adjust-
ments that are not accessible to other users. Be sure that you can
log into the system as an administrator before attempting these
procedures.
Caution The x-ray tube may be damaged if the rotor is in the boosted
state when you set the generator circuit breaker to OFF to shut
down the system. To ensure that the rotor has been braked, left
click on the Lock System button on the Main Menu screen at the
acquisition station before setting the generator circuit breaker
to OFF.
If you are operating the SenoScan via the VME debug terminal,
you can determine the boost state of the rotor by observing the
indication for the X-RAY ROTOR: listing in the VME terminal
display. If RUNNING is indicated for the X-RAY ROTOR:
status, type a B (shift b) command on the VME terminal
keyboard to toggle from the boosted state to the brake state.
When the VME terminal displays the X-RAY ROTOR: status as
STOPPED, you may safely set the generator circuit breaker to
OFF.

3-3 MOTION ADJUSTMENTS

Motion adjustments consist of gantry compression, rotation, and
elevation limit switches, rotation potentiometer setting, motor
current adjustments, and compression, rotation, and elevation drive
calibrations. Generally, limit switch adjustments and the associated
drive calibration should be performed together.
Note: To facilitate rotation and elevation drive when the gantry side
covers are removed, connect the Motion Control Test Cable
105213G in place of the cover.
3-3-1 Limit Switches

The SenoScan gantry utilizes limit switches to establish maximum
travel of all motorized motions. Adjustment of all limit switches is
accomplished by the physical relationship of the actuator arm on the
switch to a cam surface. Adjustment of the rotation and
compression drives limit switches must be accomplished in
conjunction with the VME calibration procedures for these
functions.
Note: Mark the exact location and orientation of a faulty limit switch
before removing it so that the replacement can be installed in the
identical position.
3-3-1-1 Rotation Limit Switches and Rotation Calibration (VME)

Adjustment of the rotation limit switches is required only when a
switch has been replaced and must be accomplished in conjunction
with the rotation calibration procedure.
The rotation calibration procedure requires the use of a laptop
computer containing a communication program and VME Debug
Cable 105212G (RS-232).
The rotation limit switches are adjusted by changing the positioning
of two actuator cams on the rotation drive sprocket.
Note: The rotation potentiometer should be properly adjusted before

performing this procedure.
1. Remove the I/O panel cover, lower rear cover, and rear cosmetic
cover from the back side of the gantry column (paragraph
4-2-3-1).
2. Remove the column back plate from the gantry column
(paragraph 4-2-4-1).
3. Using tape, attach an inclinometer/protractor or smart level to
the top surface of the compression paddle attachment block.

are complete.
4. Apply power to the system.
5. Position the gantry arm to -187° (±2°) rotation as measured with
the inclinometer/protractor or smart level.
6. Refer to Figure 3-1. Loosen the two hex head screws (9/64 hex
key) that secure the 187° cam (short cam) to the rotation drive
sprocket and position the cam against the limit switch to just
depress (switch opens) the limit switch plunger. A distinct click
is audible when the switch opens.
When the correct positioning is achieved, tighten the two hex
head screws to secure the cam in position.
7. Position the gantry arm to +125° (±2°) rotation as measured with
the inclinometer/protractor or smart level.
8. Loosen the two hex head screws (9/64 hex key) that secure the
+125° cam to the rotation drive sprocket and position the cam
against the limit switch to just depress (switch opens) the limit
switch plunger. A distinct click is audible when the switch
opens.
When the correct positioning is achieved, tighten the two hex
head screws to secure the cam in position.

10. Turn the computer ON and start the communication program.
Set the following communication parameters:
baud rate = 9600
parity bit = no
data word = 8 bit
stop bit = 1
software flow control = Xon
11. Set the circuit breaker on the SenoScan generator to ON.
12. The laptop will display the following message and will initiate a
detector scanning motion.
Loading Galil Program ...Done.
13. When the scanning motion is complete, type the letter "r" (do
not type the quotes) on the laptop keyboard to enter the rotation
calibration mode.

14. Verify that the rotation calibration mode is indicated on the

laptop display, then press and hold the compression footswitch.
The gantry arm should rotate CCW until the -187° limit switch
is engaged, stop momentarily, then rotate CW until the +125°
limit switch is engaged. Again, the gantry arm will stop
momentarily then rotate CCW to the 0° position and stop.
15. Release the footswitch.
16. Read the physical rotation angle of the gantry arm from the
inclinometer/protractor or smart level. It should be 0° ± 1°. Also
observe the LED display at the base of the gantry column. It also
should read 0° ±1°.
17. If the actual rotation position and/or the LED display value is not
within ± 1° of zero, you must reset the -187° limit switch
activation cam to compensate for the error.
If the gantry arm has stopped on the negative (CCW) side of true
0°, move the -187° limit switch activating cam farther away
from the +125° activating cam on the rotation drive sprocket.
If the gantry arm has stopped on the positive (CW) side of true
0°, move the -187° limit switch activating cam closer to the
+125° activating cam on the rotation drive sprocket.
18. If necessary, repeat steps 13 through 17 until the physical
position of the gantry arm rotation and the rotation angle
displayed on the LED display are both 0° ±1°.
19. When the rotation calibration is satisfactory, install the column
back plate and column covers.
3-3-1-2 Elevation Limit Switches

Elevation limit switches are adjusted only if they have been
replaced. The purpose of the elevation limit switches is to prevent
the elevation actuator from running into its travel limits.
3-3-1-2-1 Maximum Elevation Limit
Maximum elevation of the gantry column is determined by the

positioning of the limit switch located at the bottom front side of the
middle plate inside the gantry column. This switch was correctly
adjusted during assembly at the factory and is not accessible for
adjustment in the field.

3-3-1-2-2 Minimum Elevation Limit Switch
1. Minimum elevation of the gantry column is determined by the

position of the limit switch located at the upper edge of front side
of the middle plate inside the gantry column. See Figure 3-3.
2. Remove front cover from gantry column (paragraph 4-2-3-1).
3. Remove top cap from gantry column (paragraph 4-2-5-1).
4. Press any gantry elevation control to lower the gantry column to
its minimum height.
5. Observe the clearance between the lower edge of the outer
column and the baseplate. It should be within 0.2 in ± 0.1 in
(5 mm ± 1 mm) but must not touch the baseplate.
6. If the column to baseplate clearance is excessive, adjust the
position of the minimum elevation limit switch by loosening the
bracket screws and moving the switch body in relation to the
actuating cam. Moving the switch up so that the switch follower
to cam contact is delayed as the column is lowered will decrease
the column to baseplate clearance. After repositioning the
switch, tighten the bracket screws.

7. Press any gantry elevation control to raise the column several

inches and then lower the column until it stops. Again, observe
the clearance between the lower edge of the outer column and
the baseplate to ensure a correct clearance.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 as necessary to obtain a correct
clearance.
9. Install top cap on gantry column.
10. Install front cover on gantry column.
3-3-1-3 Compression Drive Limit Switches and Compression Calibration (VME)

Adjustment of the compression drive limit switches is required only
when a switch has been replaced. The VME compression drive
calibration procedure must be performed in order to assure correct
switch adjustment.
The compression drive utilizes two identical limit switches arranged
as shown in Figure 3-4. Adjustment is achieved by loosening the
mounting screws and moving the switch(s) in and out and/or rotating
the switch(s) in relation to the actuating cam on the compression
block assembly.
The adjustment procedure is as follows:
1. Rotate the gantry arm to 0°.
2. Remove the covers from the gantry arm (paragraph 4-2-1).
Upper Limit Switch
Actuating Cam
Lower Limit Switch

The "c" key is a toggle command. If you press it again, the
compression calibration mode will be turned off.
9. Press and hold the RELEASE side of the compression
footswitch. The compression paddle will move up to the upper
limit switch, activate the switch, then stop. After a second or so,
the paddle will move down a small distance and stop.
10. The following message will be displayed in the lower left
portion of the terminal screen:
Measure and Enter Compression Travel
(cms):cc.m
Measure the distance between the bottom of the compression
paddle and the surface of the breast support. Measure at the
center front edge of the paddle and breast support.
11. Using the terminal keyboard, enter the measured distance in cm
and press the Enter key. The following message will be
displayed in the lower left portion of the terminal screen:
Press a footswitch to continue.

12. Press and hold the COMPRESS side of either footswitch. The
paddle will move down to the lower limit switch, activate the
switch, then stop. After a second or so, the paddle will move up
a small distance and stop.
13. The following message will be displayed in the lower left
portion of the terminal screen:
Measure and Enter Compression Travel
(cms):m
Measure the distance between the bottom of the compression
paddle and the surface of the breast support. Measure at the
center front edge of the paddle and breast support.
14. Using the terminal keyboard, enter the measured distance in cm
and press the Enter key. The following message will be
displayed in the lower left portion of the terminal screen:
Press a footswitch to continue.
15. Press either footswitch. The paddle will move up and stop at the
approximate mid travel point. The calibration is now complete.
16. Press and hold the RELEASE side of the footswitch. The paddle
will move to its maximum height and stop.
17. Measure the distance between the bottom of the paddle and the
surface of the breast support, then observe the THICKNESS
reading on the LED display at the base of the gantry column.
The measurement and the display should agree. Both should be
21 cm ±0.5 cm.
Caution DO NOT allow the paddle to contact the surface of the breast
support in the following step. If contact appears imminent,
immediately release the footswitch.
18. Press and hold the COMPRESS side of either footswitch. The
paddle will move to its minimum height and stop. DO NOT
allow the paddle to contact the breast support.
19. Measure the distance between the bottom of the paddle and the
surface of the breast support, then observe the THICKNESS
reading on the LED display at the base of the gantry column.
The measurement and the display should agree. Both should be
1 cm ±0.5 cm.
20. If either measurement/reading in steps 17 and/or 19 is not within
specification, readjust the appropriate limit switch to change the
travel limit.
For example, if the measurement and LED display indicate 2 cm
when the paddle is fully lowered (step 19), you must move the
lower limit switch down approximately 1 cm.

21. If you readjust either limit switch, you must repeat the
compression calibration described in steps 8 through 19.
3-3-2 Rotation Potentiometer Adjustment

This adjustment is required after replacement of the rotation
potentiometer, its drive belt, or the rotation idler assembly.
1. Gain access to interior of gantry column.

12. Install top cover on gantry column.
13. Install back plate and back covers on gantry column.

3-3-3 Compression Force Adjustment

Compression force must be adjusted to limit the maximum amount
of compression that can be applied to the patient.
1. Place toweling or equivalent padding on the breast support to
prevent scratching of the breast support surface.
2. Position a bathroom scale, force gauge, or equivalent measuring
device on the toweling. If a scale is used, cover the scale with
toweling to prevent scratching the compression paddle. Be sure
that the readout on the scale is visible as shown in Figure 3-6.
Figure 3-6. Bathroom Scale on Breast Support (typical)

3. Press and hold Compress side of the footswitch to compress the

scale. Hold the footswitch until the compression drive stops.
4. Read the amount of compression being applied to the scale. It
must be in the range of 25 to 45 lbs (111 to 200 newtons) to meet
MQSA requirements. The factory-recommended value for the
maximum compression force is 39 lbs (175 newtons).
5. If adjustment of the maximum force is necessary, proceed with
the following steps.
6. Remove the cover from the right end of the SenoScan generator
cabinet to gain access to the compression amplifier.
7. While observing the readout on the scale or force gage, adjust
R1 CURRENT LIMIT potentiometer on the compression
amplifier to obtain a compression force of 39 lbs (175 newtons).
Compression Amplifier E1A1C4A5 is located on the right end
of the generator cabinet as shown in Figure 3-7. Adjust R1
clockwise to increase compression force, and CCW to reduce
compression force.
8. Release the compression from the scale by pressing on the
Release side of the footswitch, then repeat steps 3 and 4 to ensure
that the maximum compression force is no more than 39 lbs (175
newtons).

the interlock switch plunger is pulled out to the override
position.
9. At the acquisition station, use the Acquire screen to select a
technique of 20 kVp and 80 mA.
10. While observing the RMS voltmeter, press and hold the x-ray
switch to make an exposure. This measurement should be taken
during the boost cycle. Verify that the voltage across R11 is
≤ 2.1 Vac.

11. If the voltage across R11 exceeds 2.1 Vac, adjust the Large
Filament Boost potentiometer R170 on the kVp & Filament
Control PCB to obtain a reading of ≤2.1 Vac. Leave the
voltmeter connected for the time being.
12. Press and hold the x-ray switch to make an exposure. Adjust the
kV Calibrate potentiometer R166 on the kVp & Filament
Control PCB to set the amplitude of the waveform displayed on
channel 1 of the oscilloscope to 2.0 Vdc. Refer to Figure 3-12
for location of R166. Note that this value corresponds to the
20 kVp technique selected in step 8 to ensure that the system is
actually producing the kVP value selected at the Acquire screen.
13. Observe the MA waveform on Channel 2, not the kVp waveform
while performing this step. Press and hold the x-ray switch to
make an exposure. Adjust the Large Filament Boost
potentiometer R170 on the kVp & Filament Control PCB to
achieve the flattest waveform possible (minimum spiking)
during the first 100 ms of the waveform without exceeding 2.1
Vac across resistor R11. Repeat the exposure and adjustment as
many times as necessary to make the adjustment.
14. Press and hold the x-ray switch to make an exposure. Observe
the waveform on channel 2 of the oscilloscope and adjust the
Tube Current Cal potentiometer R63 on the kVp & Filament
Control PCB to achieve a value of -0.80 Vdc. Refer to
Figure 3-9 for location of R63. Note that this value corresponds
to the 80 mA technique value selected in step 8 to ensure that the
system is actually producing the mA value selected at the
Acquire screen.
15. Using a mini-grabber probe, attach the oscilloscope to pin 7 of
U8 on the kVp & Filament Control PCB and then press and hold
the x-ray switch to make an exposure. Refer to the Figure 3-11
for location of U8 and pin 7. Note the voltage at U8-7 during
the exposure.
16. Attach the oscilloscope to TP10 on the kVp & Filament Control
PCB. Use the Large Filament Overcurrent Adjust potentiometer
R175 to set the voltage at TP10 slightly higher than that
measured at U8-7. Typically, this voltage is set approximately
0.5V higher than U8-7.
17. At the acquisition station, use the Acquire screen to select a
technique of 45 kVp and 170 mA.
18. Attach the oscilloscope to U8-9 and make an exposure. Note the
voltage at U8-9 during the exposure.
19. Attach the oscilloscope to U8-8. Use the Large Filament Tube
Over Current potentiometer R173 to set the voltage at U8-8
slightly higher than that measured at U8-9.

Caution The setting of R173 protects the x-ray tube from damage by
preventing excessively high filament current. Set the voltage at
U8-8 for the minimum value that will allow an exposure.
Typically, this voltage is set from 0.5 to 1.5V higher than the
voltage at U8-9. Start by setting the voltage to 0.5V higher than
the voltage measured at U8-9 and make an exposure. If the
system allows the exposure, the setting is satisfactory. If the
system will not allow the exposure, increase the voltage setting
at U8-8 and attempt another exposure. Repeat until the system
allows the exposure.
20. Verify the x-ray tube calibration by making exposures at each of
the following techniques:
kVp mA
26 100
30 170
38 210
If the x-ray exposure is successful at all of the technique values,

x-ray tube calibration is complete.
21. Remove all measurement instruments, close and secure the
hinged cover on the inverter, and install the front cover on
generator cabinet.
3-4-2 IGBT Drive Timing

This procedure ensures that enough "dead time" exists in the IGBT
firing sequence to prevent simultaneous or overlapping firing of the
IGBT’s.
1. Set circuit breaker on generator cabinet to OFF.
2. Remove fuses F7 and F9 from C3D1TB2 atop the 3-phase
transformer. Refer to Figure 2-1 for locations.
3. Remove fuses F1 and F2 on the Filament Driver PCB. Refer to
Figure 2-3 for locations.
4. Connect the laptop computer to the DB-9 connector on the
inverter debug cable that exits the left side of the inverter
housing.

5. Boot the computer on and start the communication program. Set

the following communication parameters:
baud rate =9600
parity bit = no
data word = 8 bit
stop bit = 1
6. Set the circuit breaker on the generator to the ON position. Note
that the inverter will output status information on the debug
terminal computer.
7. Enter the command 4D (or 4d) on the debug terminal computer.
The debug terminal will display a value such as 3000.
8. If the displayed value is not 3000, it must be changed to 3000 by
typing 3000 and pressing the <Enter> key on the debug
terminal. Press <Enter> a second time to return to the prompt.
9. Connect the 2-channel oscilloscope probes to TP4 and TP5 on
the kVp and Filament Control PCB. See Figure 3-12 for
locations of test points. Set the oscilloscope controls to Normal,
5v/div amplitude, and 5 µS/div timebase.
10. From the acquisition station, enter the patient name normally
used for test images, select new study, then set a manual
technique of 37 kVp and 150 mA. Make sure that the automatic
technique checkbox is not checked.

Set for 5.6 µsec at 37 kVp and 150 mA.

11. Take the x-ray exposure. Note that an acquisition error message
will be displayed as soon as the x-ray button is pressed.
12. Observe the timing of the two signals on the oscilloscope.
The timing of the two signals is such that the pulses of one signal
are centered between the pulses of the other. The width of the
pulses on each signal are proportional to the kVp used for the
x-ray exposure with the maximum pulse width occurring at
maximum kVp.
Verify that 5.6 microseconds (µsec) of dead time exists between
the pulses. See Figure 3-13.
13. If the timing between pulses is less than 5.6 µsec at 37 kVp and
150 mA, adjust potentiometer R206 approximately 1/2 turn
CCW to narrow the pulse width and repeat steps 11 and 12 until
the dead time interval between pulses is 5.6 µsec. See
Figure 3-12 for location of R206.
14. Reset the technique for 45 kVp and 170 mA and take the x-ray
exposure.
15. Again, observe the timing of the two signals on the oscilloscope.
Verify that at least 6.0 µsec of dead time exists between the
pulses.
16. Set the generator circuit breaker to OFF.
17. Install the 4 fuses removed in steps 2 and 3.
18. Remove the oscilloscope from TP4 and TP5 and connect it to the
J1 kVp Monitor connector on the inverter power supply
assembly (see Figure 3-10 for location).
19. Set the generator circuit breaker to the ON position and take
several x-ray exposures at techniques of 20 kVp and 60 mA to
45 kVp and 170 mA to verify that the kVp output tracks the
selected kVp across the technique range (scale factor at J1 kVp
Monitor connector is 1 Vdc = 10 kVp).

3-4-3 Detector Alignment

Detector alignment must be accomplished when the image detector
has been replaced or repositioned.
3-4-3-1 Purpose of Alignment

The active area of the image detector consists of 4 charge coupled
devices (CCD), each containing a matrix of 200 columns x 1024
rows of active elements (pixels) for a total active area of 200 x 4096
pixels (54 micron size – standard resolution mode). The columns
run across the narrow dimension of the active area and the rows run
the long dimension of the active area.
The image detector must be oriented to the scan axis so the pixel
columns in the matrix are parallel to the direction of travel as the
detector moves through its scanning range during the x-ray exposure
(i.e., a spot fixed on the breast support surface above the detector
must track parallel along the full length of the pixel columns as the
detector moves under it). This is shown in Figure 3-14. If the pixels
columns in the detector are not parallel to the scan axis, an object is
in the tissue being imaged and may move from pixel column to pixel
column (along the bias) during the scan resulting in smearing in the
processed image and loss of resolution.

3-4-3-2 Procedure
1. Remove covers from gantry arm (paragraph 4-2-1-1).
2. Remove carbon fiber breast support and detector housing
3. On the collimator, use the thumbscrews to adjust the left, right,
and front collimator blades to their maximum open positions.
4. Connect VME debug terminal to VME debug port in generator
cabinet, turn system power ON, and then initialize the VME
debug terminal (paragraph 3-6-1, steps 1 through 11).
5. Allow the Acquisition Station computer to bootup. At the login:

Location of the clamp screw is shown in Figure 3-16. Tighten
the clamp screw after squaring the detector to the cable surface
block.
9. Install the large compression paddle and lower it to its minimum
height so that it just clears the image detector.
10. Affix a piece of masking tape, paper, Post-It Note®, or similar
device to the chest wall edge of the compression paddle so that
it extends down over the end of the image detector as shown in
Figure 3-17. Use a pencil, pen, or marker to draw alignment
reference marks on the paper and the end of the detector as
shown in the figure. Leave this alignment reference aid in
position for the remainder of this procedure.
11. At the VME debug terminal, enter the VME Swing Calibration
command ("j") to allow normal detector scanning operation.
12. Place the line-pair phantom on the chest wall edge of the
compression paddle with the line patterns oriented parallel to
the scan direction as shown below. Tape the line pair test
phantom to the compression paddle to ensure it will be
unaffected by scanning motion vibration.

18. After the image is displayed, double click on the image to

display the Popup Menu bar.
19. In the Popup Menu bar, left click on Analysis to display the
submenu then left click on the Plot button.
20. Press and hold the left mouse button and draw a small
rectangular ROI across the 12.5-line-pair area of the phantom
image as shown in Figure 3-18. Release the mouse button to set
the ROI. A plot display similar to that shown in Figure 3-19 will
be displayed.
– Examine the ROI plot display closely. You should be
able to observe 5 peaks and 4 valleys, similar to those
shown in Figure 3-19, with at least 7% modulation.
To compute the percentage of modulation for the ROI plot:
- Subtract the plot baseline ADU value from the highest
peak ADU value to determine the plot range. (Both
values can be read directly from the ADU amplitude
scale at the left edge of the plot display.)
- By observation, determine which peak and adjacent
valley have the smallest peak-valley difference.
Measure and note the ADU values for this peak and
adjacent valley. (Place the cursor on the peak and read
the ADU value from the screen. Repeat for the value of
the valley.)
- Subtract the valley ADU value from the peak ADU
value to derive the peak-valley difference value.
- Divide the peak-valley difference by the plot range.
- Multiply this value by 100. This is the % modulation.

• For Example:
If the value of the highest peak in Figure 3-19 is 905, and the
value of the baseline is 87, the plot range is 818.
In the peak-valley pair with the smallest peak-valley
difference, the value of the peak is 732, and the valley of the
valley is 478. Therefore, the peak-valley difference is 254.
By dividing the peak-valley difference value of 254 by the plot
range value of 818 and then multiplying by 100 we obtain a
percentage of modulation value of 31:
254
--------- × 100 = 31
818
The percentage of modulation value for this example is 31%.

21. Note the modulation value.

The minimally acceptable results for the plot of the ROI on the
12.5 line-pair pattern is 5 peaks, 4 valleys, and a minimum of
7% modulation.
Even if these results are obtained, you should complete the
following steps to assure the best performance possible from this
particular system.
22. Reject the image.
23. At the VME debug terminal, enter the Position Image Detector
command ("p"), and then enter "0.3" to set the detector at the
30% scan position. The reference marks you established in step
10 should be in alignment.
24. Loosen the detector mounting block clamp screw just enough to
allow the chest wall end of the image detector to be moved
approximately .005 inch to the left of its original (zero) position
as observed on the alignment reference marks you established in
step 10. Tighten the mounting block clampscrew to hold the
detector in this new position.
25. At the VME debug terminal, enter the VME Swing Calibration
command ("j") to allow normal detector scanning operation.
26. Repeat steps 16 through 21 and note the % modulation for the
plot. Compare the % modulation with that noted in step 21.
- If the % modulation value is higher than that noted in
step 21, repeat steps 22 through 26 to find the detector
alignment that provides the best % modulation value.
This is the best possible detector alignment. Tighten the
clampscrew and recheck.
- If the % modulation value is lower than that noted in step
21, loosen the detector adjustment locking setscrews just
enough to reposition the chest wall end of the image
detector .005 inch to the right of its original (zero)
position. Then repeat steps 22 through 26 to find the
detector alignment that provides the best % modulation
value. This is the best possible detector alignment.
Tighten the lockscrews and recheck.

3-4-4 Scan Speed Calibration

This procedure adjusts the speed at which the scan motor causes the
image detector to move beneath the breast support during the x-ray
exposure. When properly adjusted, the speed (in cm/sec) of the
detector movement in one direction will precisely match (offset) the
internal pixel-to-pixel transfer rate along the pixel columns within
the detector in the opposite direction.
Many of the steps in this procedure are similar to those used in the
detector alignment procedure described in paragraph 3-4-3.
The gantry arm covers and breast support/detector housing do not
have to be removed when accomplishing this procedure.
Note: If the breast support is not installed, place the line pair phantom
on the (fully lowered) compression paddle.
1. Place the line-pair phantom on the breast support with the line
patterns oriented perpendicular to the scan direction as shown
below. (Line patterns will run from chest wall to the nipple side
of the breast support to ensure it will be unaffected by scanning
motion vibration.)

image as shown in Figure 3-20. Release the mouse button to set
the ROI. A plot display similar to that shown in Figure 3-19 will
be displayed.
– Examine the ROI plot display closely. You should be
able to observe 5 peaks and 4 valleys, similar to those
shown in Figure 3-19, with at least 7% modulation.
To compute the percentage of modulation for the ROI plot of
the line pair image:
- Subtract the plot baseline ADU value from the highest

line-pair pattern (repeat steps 7 through 15) to see if the %
modulation value has increased or decreased.
• If it has increased over the value recorded in step 15, further
increase the Default Scan Speed value in the Hardware
Administration screen by another 50 points. Repeat the image
acquisition and ROI plot analysis process until the greatest %
modulation value is achieved.
• If is has decreased from the % modulation value recorded in
step 15, use the decrement button to decrease the Default Scan
Speed value in the Hardware Administration screen by 50

23. When the maximum % modulation value is achieved, the scan
speed calibration is correctly set.

3-4-5 Collimator Adjustment

The collimator is adjusted by physically setting the front and side
blade positions in the collimator body, and by entering software
offset values which determine the positioning of the motorized rear
blade.
3-4-5-1 Front and Side Blades (Mechanical)

The collimator blades must be adjusted when the x-ray tube,
collimator/filter assembly, or image detector are replaced or
repositioned.
The collimator blades must be adjusted so the x-ray beam fully
illuminates the CCD’s that comprise the active area of the image
detector while constraining the edges of the beam to no more than
1 mm beyond the active area.
1. Remove the side covers from the gantry arm to gain access to the
collimator (paragraph 4-2-1-1).
2. Use a 5/64" hex key to loosen the 6 locking setscrews (see
Figure 3-22) on the sides and front of the collimator.
3. Using the collimator blade adjustment thumbscrews shown in
Figure 3-22, adjust the front and side blades to their fully open
position.
4. Left click on the Administration button in the right side of the
Patient screen header to display the Administration Console
screen.

6. Using the kVp and mA dropdown menus, select technique
values of 25 kVp and 80 mA.
7. Left click on the Start button to initiate the frame image
acquisition. The progress of the frame image acquisition is
displayed in the Step/Status display field.
8. Press and hold the x-ray acquisition button when the prompt
"Please press and hold the x-ray acquisition button" is displayed
in the Step display field. The exposure process may take longer
than a normal exposure, so hold the x-ray button until the audible
x-ray signal is heard. When the image processing is complete a
frame image similar to that shown in Figure 3-24 is displayed.
9. Examine the frame image to ensure that the entire pixel matrix
appears in the image.
• Use the Window and Level sliders to optimize the pixel area
display and the Magnification select buttons to set the image
size.
• The frame image represents the 4 CCD elements that make up
the active pixel area of the image detector (4 CCD elements of
1028 pixels x 200 pixels each). The junction of two CCD
elements appear as a vertical line as shown in Figure 3-24. To
view the full length of the four CCD elements, place the
mouse pointer on the image, press and hold the left mouse
button, then drag the image to the left or right.

• To accurately measure the size of the currently displayed

pixel field, place the mouse pointer at the point to be
measured. The pixel number (in X-Y coordinates) of the
crosshair location will be displayed along with the ADU value
for that location. For example: when the crosshair is placed
at the lower edge of the image display, the Y coordinate value
may be in the range of 195-205+ (CCD may frequently
contain additional pixels) depending upon placement. When
it is placed at the top edge of the image display, the Y
coordinate may be in the range of 10-12 (some pixels are
obscured by a lead shield at the edge of the pixel field).
10. Using the collimator thumbscrews, move the two side blades
inward until they are clearly visible in the collimator opening.
11. Close the Frame Image screen by left clicking on the Menu
button in the upper left corner of the window to display the
dropdown menu, then select Close.
12. Repeat steps 8 and 9 and observe the frame image for the
presence of the blade edge(s) in the image.
13. Ensure that the blade edges in the image are parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the detector. Place the mouse pointer on the
edge of the blade at each end of the image to determine if any
offset exists.
• One-half (1/2) turn of the adjustment thumbscrew on the
collimator moves the edge of the blade in the image by
approximately 20 pixels (1 mm).

• Adjust either or both thumbscrew(s) on the collimator as

necessary to set the edge of the side blades parallel to the
longitudinal axis of the detector.
• Repeat for the second blade.
14. Repeat steps 8 and 9 to ensure that the blades edges appear
parallel to the longitudinal axis of the detector.
15. Use the mouse pointer placement function to determine how far
the blades must be opened in order to expose the entire 200
pixels that comprise the lateral axis of the detector. (Remember,
approximately 1/2 turn of the collimator thumbscrews will move
the blade edge 20 pixels or 1 mm in the frame image.)
16. On either side, move both thumbscrews in the same direction by
the same amount to maintain blade parallelism.
17. Repeat steps 8 and 9 as necessary until the edges of the two side
blades appear right at the top and bottom edges of the frame
image.
18. Now turn the side blade thumbscrews an additional 1/2 turn to
move the blade edges out approximately 1 mm beyond the active
area.
19. Using the same method, adjust the front blade until it appears at
the chest wall edge of the active area, then adjust the front
thumbscrew an additional 1/2 turn to move the blade edge out
approximately 1 mm beyond the active area.
20. Move the gantry arm to + 90° rotation.
21. Repeat step 8 to acquire a multigrab image.
22. Examine the image for the presence of a side blade in the image.
The blade edge(s) must not show in the image.
If a blade edge is observed, turn the two thumbscrews on the
appropriate side 1/4 turn CW.
23. Move the gantry arm to -90° rotation.
24. Repeat steps 21 and 22.
25. Mechanical adjustment of the collimator is complete. Carefully
tighten the locking setscrews adjacent to the 5 thumbscrews to
lock the adjusted blades in place. Use care that the thumbscrews
are not turned when tightening the locking setscrews.
26. Proceed to the Back Blade Adjustment.

3-4-5-2 Back Blade Adjustment

Adjustment of the collimator back blade is accomplished as a part of
the x-ray field size adjustment procedure.
3-4-6 X-ray Field Size Adjustment

The x-ray field size is determined by the locations of the scanning
motion limit switches and the positioning of the motorized back
blade in the collimator.
3-4-6-1 Scanning Motion Limit Switches

The field size markings on the breast support are applied to represent
the actual x-ray field that existed at the time of manufacture. In the
event that a limit switch must be replaced, the new switch should be
adjusted to match the existing markings.
Note: The following procedure assumes that a scanning motion limit

switch has been replaced but not adjusted.
1. Turn system power OFF by setting the circuit breaker on the

SenoScan generator to OFF.
2. If not already installed, install the detector housing. DO NOT
install the carbon fiber breast support.
3. Connect the laptop computer to the VME debug port by means
of the serial cable. See previously shown Figure 3-2 for location
of the VME Debug Port connector on the VME PCB in the
generator card cage.
baud rate = 9600
parity bit = no
data word = 8 bit
stop bit = 1
Loading Galil program ... Done.
7. When the scanning motion is complete, type the lower case letter
p on the laptop computer to initiate the VME camera position
function. The laptop will display the following:
Enter position of camera (fractional).

- If the newly replaced limit switch is the begin of scan

switch, enter a value of 0 and press enter. The image
detector will drive to the home position as determined by
the begin of scan limit switch and stop.
- If the newly replaced limit switch is the end of scan
switch, enter a value of 1 and press enter. The image
detector will drive to the end of scan position as
determined by the end of scan limit switch and stop.
8. Carefully observe the position of the image detector relative to
the side of the detector housing. The detector mounting bracket
must NOT contact the inside of the housing.
If the detector mounting bracket makes contact with the inside of
the housing, loosen the limit switch and move it in slightly.
Tighten the mounting screws.
9. Repeat step 7 until the clearance is 0.25 ± 0.125 inch (6.35 ±
3.175 mm).
10. Type the lower case letter j 3 times in succession on the laptop.
The detector will return to its home position and then perform a
full scan 3 times in succession. Observe the clearances between
the detector mounting bracket and the inside of the detector
housing at both ends of the scan to ensure that the clearances are
as specified in step 9.
11. Position the gantry arm to +90° rotation and repeat steps 7
through 10 to ensure that the detector mounting bracket does not
contact the inside of the housing.
12. Position the gantry arm to -90° rotation and repeat steps 7
through 10 to ensure that the detector mounting bracket does not
contact the inside of the housing.
13. When you are satisfied with the adjustment of the limit switches,
install the carbon fiber breast support.
14. Place a phosphor screen and a ruler side-by-side over the
standard mode x-ray field marking on the lateral side of the
breast support at which the limit switch was replaced/adjusted as
shown in Figure 3-25. Make sure that the phosphor screen and
ruler are perpendicular to the marking and that a reference mark
on the ruler is aligned with the field size marking. Tape in place
as required.
15. At the acquisition station, select and load a patient name that is
used for test and then select Acquire Exam.

16. At the technique screen, select technical factors of 30 kVp and

120 mA. Make sure that High Res is turned OFF.
17. Dim the room lights.
18. Take an exposure while watching the phosphor screen illuminate
with respect to the x-ray field marking.
19. Observe that the edge of the illumination on the phosphor
coincides with the x-ray field marking (±12.8 mm). Use the
ruler to help determine the magnitude of any deviation. Make
note of your measurement.
- If the illumination is within the specified tolerance, the
switch adjustment is correct and the procedure is
complete.
- If the illumination exceeds the specified tolerance, you
must readjust the switch to move the edge of the x-ray
field onto the field size marking. Reposition the switch
and repeat steps 14 through 19 as required to make the
edge of the x-ray field coincide with the field markings.
20. When the actual scanned field size coincides with the breast
support markings, the scanning motion limit switch adjustment
is complete. Proceed to the collimator back blade adjustment.

3-4-6-2 Collimator Back Blade

This adjustment determines the physical position of the motorized
back blade in the collimator. It must be accomplished twice; once in
standard resolution mode, and again in high-res (zoom) mode, in
order to attain the correct back blade positioning in both modes.
1. Place a phosphor screen and a ruler side-by-side over the
standard mode x-ray field marking at the nipple side of the
breast support as shown in Figure 3-26.
Make sure that the phosphor screen and ruler are perpendicular
to the marking and that a reference mark on the ruler is aligned
with the field size marking. Tape in place as required.
2. At the acquisition station, select and load a patient name that is
used for test and then select Acquire Exam.
3. At the technique screen, select technical factors of 30 kVp and
120 mA. Make sure that High Res is turned OFF.
4. Dim the room lights.
5. Take an exposure while watching the phosphor screen illuminate
with respect to the x-ray field marking.
6. Observe that the edge of the edge of the illuminated area on the
phosphor coincides with the x-ray field marking (±12.8 mm).
Use the ruler to help determine the magnitude of any deviation.
Make note of your measurement.

- If the illumination-to-marking relationship is within the

specified tolerance, the back blade adjustment for
standard resolution is correct. Proceed to step 10.
- If the illumination-to-marking relationship exceeds the
specified tolerance, you must adjust the backblade offset.
Proceed to step 7.
7. At the laptop computer connected to the VME debug port, type
the letter m (in lower case) to enable the collimator back blade
calibration function. The laptop screen will display the
following:
Collimator Cal Mode on ...
Enter Standard Position Offset: xxxx.
(XXXX represents the current software offset value that value
determines the position of the back blade. Typically, this value
will be around 4000 for standard resolution mode and 6000 for
High-Res mode.)
To move the back blade inward (to decrease the front-to-back
dimension of the field), you must increase the offset value shown
on the laptop screen. To move the blade outward to increase the
front-to-back dimension of the field, you must decrease the
offset value.
8. Using the deviation you noted in step 7, determine if the current
offset value should be increased or decreased. Overtype to
change the current value by 200.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 9 until the illuminated area on the
phosphor screen coincides with the x-ray field marking
(± 12.8 mm). When the illuminated area is within specification,
proceed with the next step.
10. If necessary, reposition the phosphor screen and ruler over the
nipple side field marking for the High-Res x-ray field. Make
sure that a reference mark on the ruler is aligned with the nipple
side field marking.
11. At the technique screen, set High-Res mode to ON.
12. Repeat steps 6 through 9 for the High-Res mode. Repeat as
necessary to achieve coincidence between the edge of
illuminated area on the phosphor screen and the High-Res x-ray
field marking on the breast support.

3-4-6-3 Daily Calibration Technique Setting Procedure

Use this procedure each time the SenoScan is powered up.
1. Install the breast support.
2. Attach 1.5 mm of Aluminum (such as sheets used for HVL
measurement) to the collimator such that the collimator opening
is fully covered by the Aluminum. Make sure that any tape used
to attach the Aluminum does not intercept the beam path.
3. With nothing in the field of view (except the breast support),
acquire an image with a technique that will give ~1000 ± 150
ADU. A good starting point is 27 kVp, 60 mA.
4. Note the kVp and mA settings used to acquire ~1000 ± 150
ADU. Write them down!
5. Bring up the Administration Console window at the acquisition
station.
6. Click on Daily Calibration.
7. Click on Settings tab.
8. Enter the settings (from step 3 and 4) in the kVp and mA fields.
9. Click on Save.
10. Remove the Aluminum from the collimator opening.
3-4-7 Light Field Alignment Procedure

Before attempting this procedure, the X-ray field size must be
determined using the procedure in Section 3-4-6. The light field
must be larger than the X-ray field.
There are 3 parts to this procedure: Normal Resolution Alignment,
High Resolution Alignment, and Intensity/Contrast Ratio Check.
Extra tools needed: light field adjustment tool and light meter
3-4-7-1 Normal Resolution Alignment

1. Acquire an image in the normal resolution mode and verify that
the blades of the light field collimator are not visible in the X-ray
image.
• If the blades are not visible, skip to step 7.
• If the blades are visible, this indicates that either the mirror or
bulb is not positioned properly. Proceed to the next step.

2. Loosen the appropriate screws on the secondary collimator

securing the bulb (Figure 3-27).

4. If a side blade was in the image:

Adjust the bulb until that edge and the back blade are aligned.
Then re-align the opposite side edge by adjusting the blade.
Take another image and verify that all 3 edges are not in the
X-ray image.
5. If the back blade was in the image:
Adjust the bulb until all 3 edges are aligned with the breast
support markings.
Take an image and verify that no blades are visible in the image.
6. Tighten all screws securing the bulb.
7. Use a phosphor screen and make exposures to determine the
difference between the X-ray beam and the markings. Mark the
position of the X-ray beam on a piece of masking tape placed on
the breast support. Repeat for all edges.

8. Measure the distance between each light field edge and the
respective X-ray image marking made in the previous step.
Record the differences on the data sheets.
9. Rotate the gantry 90° CW.
10. Take an image and verify that the blades are not present in the
image. If a blade is present in the image, return to step 4.
11. Rotate the gantry -90° CCW.
12. Take an image and verify that the blades are not present in the
image. If a blade is present in the image, return to step 4.
3-4-7-2 High Resolution Alignment
WARNING To avoid possible eye damage, do not look directly into the light
field lamp during the following procedure.
1. Activate high resolution mode.

2. Turn on the light and visually inspect the position of the back
edge of the light beam. Adjust the "Zoom Control" number and
reactivate high resolution. Repeat this procedure until the back
edge of the light beam is aligned with the back line of the high
resolution breast support marking.
3. Loosen the flat head screws that secure the blades of the high
resolution actuator.
4. Adjust each blade until the light beam is aligned with the high
resolution left and right markings on the breast support.
5. Tighten the flat head screws.
6. Take an X-ray image to verify that the blades do not appear in
the image. If a blade appears in the image, adjust the appropriate
blade until it is no longer visible in the X-ray image.
7. Using the technique in paragraph 3-4-7-1, verify that the X-ray
field and light field meet the 2% SID requirement. If they do not,
it will be necessary to adjust the bulb position and repeat the
alignment steps for normal resolution mode.

3-4-7-3 Intensity/Contrast Ratio Check

1. Using a scale to measure and masking tape to mark, create
2 lines that divide the area inside the normal resolution breast
support markings into 4 equal quadrants.
2. Mark the approximate center of each quadrant with masking
tape.
3. Using a light meter, measure the illuminance at each of the 4
points and record the values in the data sheets.
4. Calculate the average for these values and record in the data
sheets. Verify that the average is greater than 160.0 lux.
5. The following values must be measured with normal ambient
lighting in the room during testing.
6. At the midpoint of the right, left, and back edge of the light field,
measure and mark points 3 mm inside each edge and 3 mm
outside each edge.
7. Measure the illuminance at each of these 6 points and record the
values on the data sheets.
8. Calculate the contrast ratio for each of the 3 edges. This is done
by dividing the intensity at the inside point by the intensity at the
outside point for each of the respective lines.
9. Verify that each ratio is 4 or greater.
10. Record the results on the data sheets.

3-4-8 System Low Voltage Power Supplies Adjustments

Except for the +5 Vdc supply for the VME PWB, most dc voltages
have a tolerance of ±5%, but should be set as close to specification
as possible.
The output levels of the +5 Vdc VME supply is critical to correct
system operation. These outputs must be +5 Vdc ± 0.1 Vdc.
Three power supplies, located on the rear wall of the generator
cabinet, provide low voltage dc power to the system. Locations of
these power supplies are shown in Figure 3-29.
The electrical connections for these supplies are shown on Sheet 2
of SenoScan System schematic 106315S in Section 6.

This power supply provides low voltage outputs of +5, +12, -12, and
+24 Vdc. The +5 Vdc output from this power supply is used to
power the VME circuitry. Because the VME circuitry cannot
tolerate more than 5% voltage variation, precise adjustment of this
voltage output is particularly important to correct system operation.
Note: Allow one hour warm-up time for power supply to stabilize be-
fore adjusting output voltage levels.

3-4-9 Camera Power Supply Adjustment

Correct operating voltages are essential for optimum image
detection and processing within the image detector (camera). To
compensate for interconnecting cabling voltage drops, the outputs of
the camera power supply must be monitored at the image detector as
the voltages are adjusted on the PCB in the generator cabinet. A
breakout cable (Fischer part number 105214G) is available for this
purpose as shown in Figure 3-33.
Electrical connections for this supply are shown on Camera Power
Supply schematic 89884S-1 and Sheet 2 of SenoScan System
schematic 106315S in Section 6 of this manual.
Note: Verify that the outputs of the low voltage power supplies #3, #2,
and #1 (see paragraphs 3-4-8-1, 3-4-8-2, and 3-4-8-3) are correct
before adjusting the camera power supply.

3-5 COMPRESSION FORCE DISPLAY CALIBRATION

This calibration must be accomplished when the load cell- paired
cable assembly or the strain gauge amplifier is replaced.
1. If not already removed, remove the back cover from the gantry
arm to gain access to the Strain Gauge Amplifier PCB. This
PCB is mounted on the back side of the scanning arm housing
directly below the Filter/Collimator PCB.
2. On the Strain Gauge Amplifier PCB, verify that all switches are
properly positioned. Refer to Figure 3-36 for switch locations
and settings information.
3. Install the high resolution compression paddle.
4. Place a 2-newton (204 gram, 0.45 lb, or 7.2 ounce) weight on the
center of the paddle surface and tape it in place.
5. Connect the dumb terminal to the VME debug port/VME
interface in the generator cabinet and initialize the interface as
described in paragraph 3-6-1, steps 1 through 11.
6. With the gantry at 0° rotation, adjust Offset Adjust
potentiometer P2 on the Strain Gauge Amplifier PCB for a
reading of "0" (zero) for the A/D: value displayed on the VME
debug terminal. Brief occasional excursions which do not
exceed an A/D value of 5 are permissible.
7. Insert a force gauge, calibrated in newtons, between the
aluminum portion of the paddle attachment block (female
dovetail) and the breast support attachment casting as shown in
Figure 3-37.
Caution To prevent damage to the breast support, DO NOT place the

force gauge on the carbon-fiber surface.

8. Step on the Compression side of the footswitch to apply

maximum compression to the force gauge. Continue to apply
compression until the compression drive automatically stops
driving.
9. Using the manual compression knob, adjust the compression
until the force gauge indicates 300 newtons. To ensure that the
applied force does not back off, first over-compress to
approximately 350 newtons then slowly decrease the force to the
300 newtons value.
Note: Monitor the force gauge during the following step to ensure that
the applied compression force remains at 300 newtons.
10. The LED display at the base of the gantry column should
indicate 300 newtons. If it does not, adjust Gain Adjust
potentiometer P1 on the Strain Gauge Amplifier PCB for a
reading of 300 newtons. Occasional downward excursions to
299 newtons are permissible.
11. Step on the Release side of the footswitch to reduce the
compression on the force gauge to "0" (zero). Verify that the
A/D value displayed on the VME terminal is near zero as
specified in step 6 above. If it is not, repeat steps 6 through 11.
12. Apply a compression force of 250 newtons as indicated on the
force gauge. Rotate the gantry to 0, -45, -90, -135, and -180
degrees, verifying that the force gauge reading and the LED
display reading are in agreement (± 3 newtons) at each point. To
correct errors, readjust Gain Adjust potentiometer P1.
13. When the calibration is satisfactory, install the gantry arm back
cover, disconnect the VME debug terminal, remove the high
resolution compression paddle, and reinstall the original paddle.
3-6 MANUAL COMPRESSION FORCE CLUTCH CALIBRATION

This procedure verifies and sets the maximum compression force
that can be applied with the manual compression knobs.
3-6-1 Maximum Manual Compression Force Check

1. With the gantry at 0° rotation, insert a force gauge (calibrated in
newtons) between the aluminum portion of the paddle
attachment block (female dovetail) and the breast support
attachment casting as shown in Figure 3-37.
2. Using the manual compression knobs, lower the compression
paddle until the paddle attachment block contacts the input
plunger of the force gauge.
3. Monitor the force gauge while you turn the manual compression
knobs to increase compression force. Continue to increase

compression force until the slip clutch allows the knobs to slip
from the drive mechanism. Note the maximum force that can be
applied to the force gauge.
4. The maximum compression force must be 260 (±10) newtons.
5. If the maximum force is within the specified range of 250 - 270
newtons, no further action is required.
If the maximum force is too high or too low, perform the clutch
adjustment procedure.

1. If not already removed, remove the right side cover from the
gantry arm (paragraph 4-2-1-1) to gain access to the manual
compression slip clutch.
2. The clutch assembly is shown in Figure 3-38.
3. If present, remove the orange Torque Seal® sealant that is used
to lock the clutch adjustment ring to the clutch body.

4. Adjust the maximum compression force by turning the clutch

adjustment ring CW (increase) or CCW (decrease).
Turn the clutch adjustment ring approximately 1/4 turn and
repeat the maximum manual compression force check as many
times as necessary until you consistantly achieve a maximum
force reading of 260 (±10) newtons.
5. Apply a strip of Torque Seal® sealant (Fischer part number
57598-1) across the juncture of the clutch body and the
adjustment ring to lock the ring in position.
Caution DO NOT use Locktite® or an equivalent thread lock to secure

the adjustment ring to the clutch body. Locktite® will penetrate
the clutch and cause it to lockup.
6. The slip clutch calibration is complete. Install covers.

3-7 AUTOMATIC TECHNIQUE CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Note: Allow the system to warm-up for at least one hour before start-
ing this calibration procedure. Ensure that any additional pad-
dles that are to be used with the system are included in the pro-
cedure.
3-7-1 X-Ray Tube Index

1. Using a feeler-gauge or calipers, measure the existing collimator
aperture. Record the aperture dimension (A1) in the Table 3-2.
Ensure that the aperture size is consistent from front to back. If
the aperture varies more than 0.01” from front to back or is less
that 0.11" or greater than 0.14" at any point, return to the
Collimator Adjustment procedure in paragraph 3-4-5 and repeat
the procedure.
2. Mount a Keithley model 35050 dosimeter sensor to the bottom
of the large compression paddle as shown in Figure 3-36.
Ensure that the placement of the sensor results in a distance of
6 cm ± 0.5 cm between the center of the sensor’s active area and
the chest-wall edge. The sensor’s position along the scan
direction should be close to the middle of the scan.
3. Move the compression paddle to 4.3 cm above the breast
support.
4. Connect a digital voltmeter (DVM or DMM) to mA output jack
J2 on the inverter (see previously shown Figure 3-10). Set the
meter to read dc voltage. The value displayed on the meter will
be a scale factor of the actual mA for an exposure. The scale
factor is –1.00 DCV = 100 mA.
Attach sensor to bottom

of paddle, on lateral
centerline with center
of active area 6 (±5) cm
from chestwall edge.

3-7-10 Correcting Dead Pixels in the Detector (with correctpixel utility)

The following procedure is used to correct dead pixels in the
detector.
Note: The correctpixel utility is provided with SenoScan software 5.2.
Some detectors will contain dead pixels that may cause a line in the
image that can be noticed by the user if not stitched out. There are
dead pixels at the junctions of the 4 CCDs that are already stitched
out. The detector can image in both high resolution and normal
resolution, but dead pixels are always specified in normal resolution.
The maximum allowable number of defective pixels per detector is
8 (dead pixels at the CCD chip junctions not included). There must
be at least 5 operational pixels between two defective pixels
(including the dead pixels at the chip junctions).

If a detector is being replaced, then it is necessary to clear the

previously stitched pixels and map in the ones for the replacement
detector (if needed). To determine the bad pixels, open the Thales
test report and look for the address of defective pixels. It will always
list 1023, 2047, 3071, and 4095. The dead pixels are specified in
normal resolution. If these are the only pixels listed, there is no
action necessary. For any additional pixels that are listed, it is
desirable to take a frame shot and/or X-ray (flat field) to observe the
line in the image. This is also necessary if you do not have the
Thales test report to reference. When looking at the flat field image,
right click on the image and select full resolution; otherwise, a line
due to a bad pixel might be hidden.
With the introduction of 5.2 software, there is a new utility called
correctpixels that edits the imagecorrector.xml file for you.
1. Exit the SenoScan application and return to the desktop.
2. At the command prompt, type cd config and press Enter.
3. At the command prompt, type correctpixels and press Enter.
The following menu appears.

will not act on pixels that violate the specification. The program
then writes your input to the imagecorrector.xml file. Here is an
example of entering pixels 10 and 34.

4-2-6 Lift Actuator
4-2-6-1 General
The lift actuator provides elevation movement for the gantry and
bears the entire weight of the movable part of the gantry.
Field replacement of the lift actuator can be a major undertaking
when the lift actuator has failed, particularly if the failure occurs
when the column is positioned at a high elevation setting. This will
require the column to be raised well beyond its normal maximum
height, possibly as high as the internal cabling will allow, to provide
adequate clearance for removal of the actuator.
A method of raising the gantry column and then supporting the
weight of the gantry while the actuator is replaced is required. This
method may be by use of a jack or a hoist.
Replacement lift actuators may be supplied with either a pre-
terminated power/control cable or an unterminated cable. The
method of wiring to be used to connect the replacement part into the
gantry is determined by the type of replacement you receive.
4-2-6-2 Remove
2. Remove all column covers (paragraph 4-2-3).
3. Remove column back plate (paragraph 4-2-4) to gain access to
the interior of the column.
4. Disconnect all system interconnect cables from the gantry I/O
panel and move them out of the way.
5. Remove gantry I/O Panel from its mounting brackets (2 screws
each side) and carefully lower it into a flat position (connectors
face down). Use care that the wiring is not damaged.
6. Remove the actuator motor cover (1 screw each side). Refer to
Figure 4-13 for location.
7. If the power/control cable on your replacement lift actuator
assembly is terminated with a connector on the red and black
wires and a pin on the white wire, remove the J4 connector body
from the gantry I/O panel and extract pin 2 from connector J9.
8. If the power/control cable on the replacement lift actuator
assembly is not pre-terminated, cut the power/control cable
approximately 6 inches back from the J4 connector in the gantry
I/O panel.
Strip and dress the wires that remain attached to J4 and J9 so that
they can be spliced to the cable on the replacement lift actuator.

9. Raise the column slightly to remove the gantry weight from the
lift actuator.
- If a hoist is to be used, remove the column top cap
(paragraph 4-2-5-1) to gain access to the threaded
eyebolt holes at the front corners of the column. Screw
a 9/16-12 eyebolt into the hole at each front corner and
attach the hoist.
- If jacks are to be used, position one jack on each side of
the column and engage the lower edge of the outer
column. The column top cap need not be removed.
10. With the weight of the gantry relieved from the lift actuator,
place blocks and wedges under the lower edge of the outer
column to prevent it from falling in case of jack or hoist failure.
11. Remove the hairpin from the clevis pin in the lift actuator lower
mount. See detail in Figure 4-13.

12. Push the clevis pin out of the lift actuator lower mount. It may
be necessary to very slightly raise or lower the column to relieve
the loading on the clevis pin so it can be removed. Two nylon
washer pads which fit over the clevis pin between the actuator
mounting eye and the mounting bracket bearings will fall out
when the clevis pin is removed. Retain these pads for reuse.
13. Using the jack or the hoist, raise the outer column as high as the
internal cabling will allow. Use care that the internal cabling is
not damaged. Note that the disconnected lift actuator will raise
along with the column.
Caution Place blocks under the lower edge of the outer column to prevent
it from falling in case of jack or hoist failure.
14. While supporting the lift actuator, remove the 2 sets of socket
screws, flat washers, and lock washers that secure the top of the
actuator to the column middle plate structure.
15. Carefully lower the actuator to the column base plate and then
angle it so it can be removed from under the middle plate
structure. Use care so that the cabling on the ground bus bar at
the back of the I/O panel is not damaged.
16. Remove the actuator from the column.
4-2-6-3 Install
Replacement lift actuators are shipped from the factory in the fully
retracted position to facilitate installation.
If the power/control cable on the replacement actuator is not
terminated with a connector body and a connector insertion pin, the
cable must be solder spliced into the existing gantry wiring after the
replacement actuator is installed in the column.
1. Place the replacement actuator alongside the removed actuator
on the floor or a tabletop. Remove the hair pin, clevis pin,
washer pads, and top mounting bracket from the removed
actuator and transfer them to the replacement actuator in the
same orientation. If new washer pads have been supplied with
the replacement actuator, use them. Otherwise, reuse the
originals.
2. Making sure that the top mounting bracket is oriented so its
mating surface will contact the back side of the middle plate
structure, maneuver the actuator up behind the middle plate until
the hole in the mounting bracket are aligned with the holes
(lower set) in the middle plate.
3. Assemble the actuator top mounting bracket to the middle plate
with socket head screws, flat washers, and lock washers. Insert

the screws through the middle plate and into the mounting
bracket only far enough to engage 2 or 3 threads in the mounting
bracket. Do not tighten the screws at this time, you will need
some play in this attachment to facilitate the positioning of the
lower mounting bracket clevis pin.
4. Very carefully and slowly, lower the outer column until the
attachment eye on the bottom of the actuator assembly is close
to the mounting bracket on the column base plate.
5. Carefully guide the actuator attachment eye into position
between the mounting bracket bearings.
6. Align the attachment eye on the actuator with the mounting
bracket bearings and insert the clevis pin from left to right. After
you determine that the clevis pin can be inserted, withdraw the
pin far enough to allow the insertion of a washer pad between the
left mounting bracket bearing and the actuator attachment eye.
Push the clevis pin through the washer pad and then insert a
second washer pad on the other side of the actuator attachment
eye, then push the clevis pin all the way through the mounting
bracket.
7. Install the hairpin through the clevis (see the lower mounting
detail in Figure 4-13).
8. Tighten the 2 socket head screws that you loosely installed in
step 3.
9. Lower the jack or hoist and allow the lift actuator to accept the
weight of the gantry. Remove the jack or hoist attachments and
safety blocking.
10. If the replacement actuator contains a terminated cable:
- Install connector body J4 into its cutout on the gantry I/O
panel.
- Insert the connector pin on the white wire into position 2
on connector J9 on the gantry I/O panel.
11. If the replacement actuator does not contain a terminated cable:
- Strip the cable jacket on the cable connected to J4 (this is
the cable you cut in step 7 when you removed the
actuator) back approximately 1-1/2 inches. Strip the 3
wires approximately 1/2 inch and prepare them for solder
splicing.
- Cut the actuator cable to approximately 12 inches, strip
cable jacket back approximately 2-1/2, then strip the 3
wires approximately 1/2 inch and prepare them for solder
splicing.

- Slide shrink tubing over each of the wires on the cable,

then twist and solder each corresponding wire together,
matching colors.
- Slide shrink tubing over each completed splice and apply
heat to shrink.
12. Install the actuator motor cover (2 screws).
13. Install the gantry I/O Panel on its mounting brackets (2 screws
each side).
14. Connect all system interconnect cables to the gantry I/O panel.
SenoScan generator to ON. Check that the column moves
through its full range of elevation motion, shows no signs of
binding, and produces no unusual noises.
16. If you notice any binding or unusual noises, lower the column
until it stops, then loosen the 2 socket head screws that attach the
upper end of the actuator to the column middle plate.
Grasp the actuator housing below the middle plate and forcible
shake it side to side to relieve any stresses caused by
misalignment in the upper mounting.
Tighten the 2 socket head screws that attach the upper end of the
actuator. Run the column through its full range of elevation
motion and recheck for signs of binding and unusual noises.
17. If the functional check is satisfactory:
- Install column back plate (refer to paragraph 4-2-4-2).
- Install column covers (refer to paragraph 4-2-3-2).
4-2-7 Scan Drive Wires

The scanning motion imparted to the image detector during x-ray
exposure is provided by a system of 4 stainless steel wires, each
attached to either end of an arc-shaped cable surface block and
wrapped around a motor-driven scanning motion drum which
swings with the detector below the cable surface block. The cable
surface block ensures that the wire tension remains constant through
the full range of the detector swing. The wires are tensioned
alternately from opposite ends of the cable surface block to
eliminate backlash in the scan drive system.
The laptop terminal connected via the VME Debug Port should be
used to adjust, tension, and run-in the newly replaced scan wire(s).

11. Remove all cable ties, cable wrap, and clamps used to secure the
oil lines within the gantry column. See Figure 4-29.
Caution To prevent air from entering the heat exchanger system,

disconnect only 1 oil line at a time. NEVER disconnect both oil
lines at the same time.
12. Disconnect either oil line from the old x-ray tube at the oil line
quick-disconnect coupling. The quick disconnect coupling is
self-sealing, however a small amount of oil may seep during the
disconnecting. Wipe any oil seepage from the quick-disconnect
coupler.
13. Carefully pull the disconnected oil line back through the gantry
pivot passage and to the inside of the gantry column.
14. Route the disconnected oil line from the heat exchanger, to the
outside of the gantry column, and back to the quick disconnect
coupling from which it was previously connected.

15. Apply a thin coating of Dow Corning #4 lubricant to the mating

surfaces of the two quick-disconnect couplings. Gently rub the
mating surfaces of the two couplers together, then snap the
couplings together. After coupling, rotate the locking sleeve on
the female coupler to prevent disengagement.
16. Disconnect the remaining oil line from the old x-ray tube at the
oil line quick-disconnect coupling. The quick disconnect
coupling is self-sealing, however a small amount of oil may seep
during the disconnecting. Wipe any oil seepage from the quick-
disconnect coupler.
17. Repeat steps 13 through 15. At this point, the two oil lines
remain connected at the x-ray tube and heat exchanger
accumulator but have been freed of any other connection with
the gantry.
18. Remove the two hose clamps that secure the accumulator to the
heat exchanger mounting bracket (Figure 4-29).
19. Disconnect the cable connected to the top of the heat exchanger.
20. Remove the four (some systems may contain three) allen-head
screws that secure the heat exchanger in its mounting bracket.
21. Remove the heat exchanger and accumulator from within the
gantry column and place them on a chair, table or similar
support. At this point, the two oil lines connecting the heat
exchanger/accumulator to the x-ray tube are completely outside
of the gantry column.

1. Remove the new x-ray tube, heat exchanger, and accumulator
from the shipping container.
2. Place the x-ray tube in its mounting location on the support arm
and install the four socket head cap screws that hold it in place.
Ensure that all four screws are tight.
3. Connect the anode and rotor filament cables to the back of the
x-ray tube.
4. Bolt the ground wire to the base on the bottom of the x-ray tube.
5. Route the oil lines around the side of the gantry and to the back
of the gantry column so that the heat exchanger and accumulator
can be set into their operating positions.
6. Install the new heat exchanger into its mounting bracket using
the allen-head screws removed in step 20.
7. Connect the power cable to the receptacle on top of the heat
exchanger. This is the cable that was disconnected in step 19.
8. Secure the accumulator body to the side of the heat exchanger
mounting bracket with the two hose clamps removed in step 18.
9. Disconnect either oil line from the x-ray tube at the oil line
quick-disconnect coupling. The quick disconnect coupling is
self-sealing, however a small amount of oil may seep during the
disconnecting. Wipe any oil seepage from the quick-disconnect
coupler.
10. Carefully route the disconnected oil line behind the rotation
drive chain, through the gantry pivot passage, and up the back
side of the scanning arm housing (pie) to the quick-disconnect
coupler to which it will mate.
11. Apply a thin coating of Dow Corning #4 lubricant to the mating
surfaces of the two quick-disconnect couplings. Gently rub the
mating surfaces of the two couplers together, then snap the
couplings together. After coupling, rotate the locking sleeve on
the female coupler to prevent disengagement.
12. Repeat steps 9 through 11 for the remaining oil line.
13. Secure the oil lines using the clamps and cable wrap removed in
step 11. Use additional cable ties as necessary to secure oil lines
and cables away from all moving parts inside the gantry column.
14. Use cable ties to secure oil lines to the Collimator PCB standoffs
on the back of the scanning arm housing.
15. Install the Collimator PCB and Strain Gauge Amplifier
assembly onto the standoffs (6 screws and washers) and attach
all connectors.
16. Install the Collimator assembly (paragraph 4-2-11-2).

18. Observe that heat exchanger fan is running.
19. Rotate gantry through full range of rotation while observing oil
lines and cables within the gantry column. Verify that cables
and oil lines remain clear of moving parts (i.e., rotation chain)
within the column as the gantry is rotated and that there is no
excessive binding or chafing.
20. Allow the system to operate for several minutes then check the
heat exchanger, accumulator, oil line couplings and x-ray tube
for evidence of oil leakage.
21. Accomplish the post-installation checks and adjustments listed
in Table 4-1 for the following components/assemblies:
• X-ray Tube
• Heat Exchanger
• Collimator Assy
• Strain Gauge Amplifier
22. Install back plate on gantry column (paragraph 4-2-4-2).
23. Install back plate cosmetic cover (paragraph 4-2-3-2).
24. Install rear cover on gantry column (paragraph 4-2-3-2).
25. Prior to installing the gantry arm covers, make a final visual
check to ensure that no oil seepage has occurred at the oil line
couplings.
