1 .2 Safety precautions
CAUTION
Precautions for Web/Remote Desktop Linkup
• Do not use the Web/Remote Desktop Linkup for the
following purposes:
– Diagnosis of illnesses, prevention of illness,
monitoring, treatment, or pain relief .
– Diagnosis of injuries or physical disabilities,
monitoring, treatment, pain relief, or corrective
procedures .
– Physiological or anatomical examinations, sub -
stitutions or corrections .
– Control of conception .
– Diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, or prevention
of human or animal illness, abnormal physical
conditions, or diagnostic signs of such illnesses
or conditions .
– Healing, modification, or adjustment of human or
animal physical functions or anatomy .
– Diagnosis of pregnancy .
– Care for humans or animals during pregnancy,
while delivering, or after birth, including for natal
care and non-medicinal birth control .
Precautions on the login control mode
• Be careful of password management .
Precautions on REGIUS plates
• Frequency and duration of use of the REGIUS
plates * are automatically monitored when they are
scanned by the reader . The replacement schedule
may not be properly managed if the plate is not
used for an extended period of time. Therefore, use
of the REGIUS plates as evenly as possible is rec-
ommended . (* Photostimulable phosphor plate for
Konica Minolta computed radiography)
Precautions on high precision monitors
• Since a high precision monitor has a different as-
pect ratio from that of the exposure and viewer
screens, when you enlarge, reduce, or move an
image on the exposure or viewer screens, an im -
age of a different area may be displayed on such a
monitor .
• High precision mammographies are not displayed .
Precautions on the AeroDR Stitching Unit
• Always ensure the exposure ready LED (blue) of
the AeroDR Stitching Unit is lit before performing an
exposure. Additionally, do not press the first stage
of the exposure switch until the exposure ready
LED (blue) is lit .
CAUTION
Precautions on a stitching cassette
• There are small differences in magnification of im -
ages made with REGIUS plates which are adjacent
within a stitching cassette . For this reason, over-
lapping parts of images made with REGIUS plates
which are adjacent do not completely match . (When
the exposure distance is 1.5 m, misalignment in the
horizontal direction will be approximately 0.5 mm at
maximum.)
Precautions on the grid
• For grid during exposure, use 34-40 lp/cm. When
exposing with a grid other than specified, some
-
times moire cannot be eliminated .
* For the DR Detector, the grid to be used is speci-
fied. Refer to the AeroDR Operation Manual for
details .
• The grid removal process reduces the response of
the frequency components that make up the grid
image . The principle of this process is that the grid
image uses a specific range of spatial frequencies.
Therefore, part of the signal components of images
other than the grid image may also be reduced if
these images have signal components near the
frequency range of the grid image . When you have
performed exposure using a grid, check whether
the images obtained by removing the grid are suit-
able for diagnosis .
Precautions when changing the exposure device
• When changing the device (for example, a wall
stand reader to a table reader), different exposure
conditions may have been set for the same body
part depending on the settings of the body part that
is created or edited by the user master . Therefore,
carefully check both the body part and its exposure
conditions before starting the examination.
Precautions when the image is used on a de-
vice other than the one used for output
• When using the image on another device for the
purpose of measurement etc ., check the consis-
tency between the devices before use . In particular,
care must be taken when decreasing the image
size because some correction may be applied to
the image depending on the reduction ratio .
Precautions on changing the reading area
• If annotation has been set for the image, changing
the reading area will disable the annotation setting .
Set annotation again .
