Faxitron CT Software is a complete image acquisition and processing package, designed
exclusively to work with the Faxitron CT system. In addition to the acquisition and processing
functions, the software offers an extensive database module that allows user control and
maintenance of image archiving, storage, filing and retrieval. The software is also Digital
Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) compliant, allowing saving of Patient
images in DICOM format 3.0. The software has been pre-installed on the computer that was
packaged with your x-ray system.
System calibration is required at the beginning of every new day of system use for best image
quality. The system user may also perform calibration at any time to ensure optimum image
quality.
After calibration, the Home Menu will be displayed, which allows navigation to all other areas of
the software. For ease of use, application buttons are provided,
see Figure 5.0.1. These buttons
are in the center of the screen. Button descriptions and definitions are outlined in the following
sections of this manual.
