Product Description
The Kodak DirectView CR 800/CR 900 Series systems process and produce
digital images directly from latent images captured on storage phosphor
screens. You can reproduce, reprocess, and distribute images to other output
and storage devices.
The CR Systems manage patient and examination information associated with
the captured and stored images. They can interface with a PACS Broker such
as Mitra to obtain patient demographic data from the site HIS/RIS system. The
data is sent to the CR System where it is associated with the proper image.
You can use the CR System to:
Read images on a phosphor screen using conventional X-ray generators.
Modify images and change image orientation.
Enter examination and patient information using the Kodak DirectView
Remote Operations Panel (ROP), the bar code scanner, or the touch
screen monitor.
Correct erroneous patient or examination information.
Store images that have incomplete patient or study data until the
required data is added and the image is accepted.
Create collections of related images and data (a Study).
Send exams to DICOM storage devices, physicians diagnostic viewing
stations, and DICOM laser imagers.
The CR 900/950 System is designed for use as a centralized processing unit
serving multiple exposure rooms in conjunction with the Kodak DirectView
Remote Operations Panel (ROP). See page 10-10 for information on using
the ROP.

Touch Screen Monitor The touch screen monitor (touch screen) is mounted on top of the
CR 800/850 System. You can mount the touch screen monitor on the left side
or the right side of the CR 900/950 System or on the wall.
For the CR 900/950 System, in case of a network failure, use the touch screen
as a back-up system to enter patient demographic data, exam data, and
review images.
The monitor has an SGVA display with a 1024 x 768 pixel resolution.
Internal PC An internal PC, accessible from the front of the CR System, contains the
operating software for image processing and for communicating with external
network devices.
Cassettes Storage phosphor screens are mounted in standard size cassettes. You
perform patient exams the same way as when using conventional film
cassettes. Instead of processing film to develop the image, a laser in the CR
System scans the latent image on the phosphor screen and produces a digital
image. Cassettes are repeatedly exposed, and their screens erased and
reused. General Purpose (GP) cassettes have gray corners and High
Resolution (HR) cassettes are identified with black corners.

The UPS shuts down two minutes after the CR System application.
NOTE: If the touch screen locks up, see Using the Touch Screen on
page 3-7.
Power Failures
The CR System contains an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to protect the
system against an abrupt power loss.
If a power failure occurs, the UPS sustains system power to:
complete all critical activities
save present operating data, and
shut down the Operating System.
If power is restored before the UPS battery charge drops to 25%, the system
resumes operation without interruption. However, once the battery level
drops to 25%, the system automatically shuts down.
In the event of a power loss, an error message appears within 30 seconds of
the power loss. For any image currently being routed, the system attempts to
complete the transmission. If there is not sufficient time to accomplish this,
the image is automatically transmitted once power is restored.
If a Cassette is in the load position at the time of automatic shutdown, the
system completes the scan, stores the raw image on the hard disk, and erases
the phosphor plate prior to the UPS shutdown.
Operating Modes
The CR System operates in two basic modes: (1) Pass-through mode and (2)
QA mode. The Key Operator, Applications Consultant, or Service Engineer
configures the mode of operation per the direction of the department
manager.
Pass-through Mode In Pass-through mode, the completed exam is processed and routed, typically
without stopping. When Pass-through mode is configured, a button appears
on the Scan Cassette screen next to the Start button. This button toggles
between Pause Pass-thru and Resume Pass-thru. You can temporarily
pause Pass-through mode by touching the button. To resume
Pass-through mode, touch . When the system distributes the image,
if necessary, you can recall the image for review and reprocessing.
QA Mode In the QA mode, the technologist must view and approve the image before
distributing it across the network.

Printing Images
There are three printing modes available with the CR System:
Print Mode Description
Best Fit The image is as large as possible without
exceeding True-size. No data is cropped.a
Consistent Image Size The image is created at 92.5% of True-size. This
percentage is fixed and cannot be changed by
the technologist; no data is cropped.
Images from cassettes that are the same size as
film used by the printer may not print properly
if you are using the external text box . There are
not enough pixels available to print both the text
box and the image at 92.5%.
NOTE: For best results, do not use the
external text box with Consistent Image
Size print mode. Use the internal text
box. If you must use the external text
box, test all combinations at the site
before the equipment enters service.
True-size The image is the same size as the latent image
that existed on the phosphor screen when it was
scanned, within +/- 2%. This is equivalent to the
size of an image on film.
The CR System crops data from the edges of a
True-size image because the CR image is
typically larger than a printer can produce on a
comparable film size.
a. See Table: CR Image Minification Factors for Common Kodak Printers on
page 5-19.
WARNING:
True-size Printing delivers the latent image to the
destination at 100%, +/-2%. Because variations exist in
scanners and printers, use caution when using these images
for exact measurements. Kodak recommends that you use a
known marker at the subject level when making the
exposure and calculating image magnification.
Printing Multi-format Multi-format images are only delivered to print destinations. With
Images Multi-format printing:
All Multi-format layouts must contain at least two images.
Images from cassettes can be placed together in a multi-format print.
Images are printed in portrait mode for four-up and landscape mode for
two-up multi-format prints.
Image aspect ratio is maintained.
Images are printed with saved Image Processing parameters.
Images may be included from any cassette size.
The destination printer must support minification.
When two or more images exist, and a print destination is configured on the
system, the Multi-format button displays next to the cassette ID.

True-size Printing produces the same size image you would get if you were
using a film screen system. To achieve True-size on most printers, data is
cropped from the edge of the image.
WARNING:
True-size Printing delivers the latent image to the
destination at 100%, +/-2%. Because variations exist in
scanners and printers, use caution when using these images
for exact measurements. Kodak recommends that you use a
known marker at the subject level when making the
exposure and calculating image magnification.
Crop Box
1 cm Tick Marks Use the 1 cm Tick Marks option to burn markers into the image to help you
evaluate image size. The system optionally prints markers 1 cm apart along 2
adjacent sides of either 1-up or multi-format images. The marks are placed so
that the distance between any two consecutive marks is 1 cm when the image
is printed True-size. For images that are not printed True-size, you can use the
spacing of the tick marks to determine the amount of image minification. For
example, the distance between tick marks would be 0.9 cm for an image that
is printed at 90% of True-size.
Performing the Exam The Image Processing Library (IPL) is an object-oriented library of image
processing algorithms incorporated into the CR System. Each body part and
projection combination produces a unique look for a given image.
When using Storage Phosphor plates, the following suggestions will help you
obtain optimum image quality:
Apply as much collimation as is practically possible on all images.
Capture only one view per cassette (such as a Posterior Anterior (PA)
hand on one cassette and a Lateral hand on a separate cassette).
If you must capture more than one view on a cassette, for best quality
group like views together (such as PA hand and Oblique hand). In this
situation, Kodak recommends that you:
Minimize the collimation between separate views (such as a thin line
of collimation shown between two views).
Minimize the exposure overlap between the separate views.
Use the same bone thickness in each image.
Changing Image Touch the appropriate button to rotate or flip an image. You can rotate
Orientation through 360 by rotating in steps of 90.
Contrast Tonescale

Cleaning the Clean storage phosphor screens every 500 exposures, every 30 days, or when
Phosphor Screen artifacts appear. Under normal use conditions, storage phosphor screens will
eventually show wear. This may occur from abrasion of the protective
overcoat or inadvertent physical damage to the surface. Certain chemical
agents, such as non-approved screen cleaners, hand lotions, topical
medications, food, etc., may also damage the screens. Screen wear can result
in artifacts on radiographs. Storage phosphor screens and cassettes used for
medical diagnosis should be inspected periodically and replaced when wear
is evident.
Phosphor screens are extremely sensitive to moisture. Exposure to moisture
can cause damage to the phosphor screens, which results in image-quality
problems.
The phosphor screen is coated with a moisture-resistant polymer blend. The
overcoat is very thin (less than 0.001 inch) and has limited resistance to
mechanical abrasion that may occur during cleaning. It is possible to damage
the protective coating during use or cleaning. This can permanently damage
the screen.
IMPORTANT: Read and follow instructions in the Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) for KODAK Intensifying Screen Cleaner and
Antistatic Solution and KODAK MIN-R Screen Cleaner prior
to use.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the phosphor screen or any of the
screen edges.
1. Remove the screen and attached plate from the cassette shell. See
Removing the Phosphor Screen on page 8-2.
2. Clean the phosphor screen with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Most of the
minus density artifacts are caused by loose dirt. Normally, a gentle wipe
is all that is needed.
3. If the dry cloth does not remove the dirt, clean screens with
Kodak Intensifying Screen Cleaner and Antistatic Solution or with Kodak
MIN-R Screen Cleaner as follows:
CAUTION:
Never apply solution directly to the surface of the screen.
Excessive moisture may damage the screen.
CAUTION:
For all cleaning methods, do not soak the cloth.
CAUTION:
For all cleaning methods, avoid pressure and excessive
rubbing, which may damage the screen surface.
NOTE: You may remove stubborn soil with Isopropyl Alcohol, following
steps 1 through 3. After cleaning with Isopropyl Alcohol, re-treat the
screen with screen cleaner. Do not use soaps or detergents
containing brightening agents.
WARNING:
Isopropyl Alcohol is a flammable solvent. It can cause eye
irritation and dry skin. Wash hands with soap and water
following maintenance procedures. Read and follow
instructions in Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prior to
use.
CAUTION:
Isopropyl Alcohol may contain peroxides that can permanently
damage the phosphor screen. If you cannot verify the purity of
your Isopropyl Alcohol, Kodak recommends that you use only
KODAK Intensifying Screen Cleaner and Antistatic Solution, or
KODAK MIN-R Screen Cleaner to clean your phosphor screen.
Cassette Cautions
CAUTION:
You cannot ship cassettes contaminated with blood or other
body fluids to an Eastman Kodak Company facility for
evaluation unless they have been decontaminated. Please
utilize universal precautions and decontaminate the
cassettes with either an EPA registered tuberculocidal (list B)
or dilute bleach (1:10 with water) solution prior to shipping.
CAUTION:
Kodak DirectView CR Cassettes contain lead. Disposal of
components that contain lead may be regulated due to
environmental conditions. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or visit the

The Kodak CR System is highly configurable and integrates well into the digital
radiology department. You can configure, save and restore many attributes of
the CR System for your operation and optimize workflow:
Configuration SettingsDue to the advanced printing features
incorporated in the CR System software, take care when configuring the
system. Generate test films when making changes that affect printed
output. This ensures that the changes made are compatible with the
printers you will be using. Once configured, you can save the settings for
backup or transfer them to another CR System.
Option Registration Install optional features easily.
Workflow Optimization Defining lists optimizes workflow by
reducing the amount of time it takes to create an exam and eliminating
typographical errors. There are lists for Departments, which can be used
to help deliver images to the correct locations, Physicians, and
Procedures. Workflow Optimization lets you map images to procedures,
that is, when you select a procedure from the list, or the RIS feeds the CR
System a Procedure Code, all the image icons are built automatically. You
can construct Trauma defaults for up to 35 patients.

HIS/RIS Broker
Configuration
Introduction The Kodak DirectView CR Systems utilize DICOM Worklist Management to
receive study information from the hospitals HIS/RIS, usually via the Mitra
PACS Broker.
You can set up your CR System to communicate with the HIS/RIS in any
combination of the following:
Pollingthe CR System requests records at a defined interval, filtered by
modality, station name, A/E title, and date and time.
Pushevery time a record is created or changed, the Broker sends the
CR System an event notification. The CR System requests specific data
associated with the event. The record is transmitted once, and is sent as
soon as it is received by the Broker.
Remote Patient Querya single patient query, configured on the
Polling screen, queried from the Patient Query screen.
You can set up your system to operate in any combination, for example:
Activate Push to reduce the workload impact on the HIS/RIS or PACS
Broker.
Activate Polling and set the time interval to 24 hours to receive a
complete update once a day.
If polling is active, each time the CR is started the initial complete query is
started and the timer begins for the next query. For example, if the CR is
started at 9:07 and is set to poll every 20 minutes, the first query is at 9:07
and the second one is 20 minutes later, 9:27.
HIS/RIS Broker 1. At the Key Operator Functions menu touch System Configuration,

additional information is needed before saving to the database or
routing the image.
8. Touch Save Changes.
For example, create a procedure named MVA for a motor vehicle accident,
and enter this procedure for Trauma patient John Doe. When you select John
Doe, the image icons you defined for an MVA appear.
Using Unique Numbers The Unique Number feature lets you assign unique numbers to trauma
patients. For example if you have multiple trauma patients at once, each time
you select a new trauma patient, a unique number is assigned to the field you
select. This lets you keep separate exams for each patient.
You can enter a unique number in the following fields:
Patient Last Name
Patient First Name
Patient ID
Accession Number
The number increments each time you create a new Trauma PEC record.
1. When entering data for the field, touch the Unique Number.
2. Touch a number (1 - 4) that represents the number of digits you want to
use for the Unique Number. Percent (%) signs appear in the field.
For example, if you input Trauma %%% in the Accession Number field,
the first patient is numbered Trauma 001, the next Trauma 002, etc.
Profile Destination A profile is the set of destinations where images are sent. In the CR System,
Configuration Image Routing is controlled by profiles.
A profile has three components:
Name
Criteria (Cassette Size, Body Part, Projection, and Department)
Destinations to which the data is sent when the criteria matches
NOTE: Define multiple profiles with criteria so you can assign the datas
destinations.
The criteria fields are listed on the CR System by priority in the following
sequence (highest priority listed first):
Cassette Size
Body Part
Projection
Department
Therefore, a profile with a Cassette Size filter appears before any other
profile.
When an exam is routed, the information contained in the Patient Record is
compared to the information contained in the criteria fields of all defined
profiles, similar to performing a query. The System assigns destinations based
on the first profile match it finds. If the image matches more than one profile,
the System assigns the first profile in the list that matches all criteria.
Default Profile A default profile is defined automatically by the System. It appears in the list of
Configuration profile destinations with an (*) asterisk next to the name. You can rename the
default profile, but you cannot delete it.
There must be only one default profile. If the data doesnt match the criteria
for any of the existing profiles, the system uses the default profile destination.
Configuring Profiles 1. At the Key Operator Functions menu, touch System Configuration,
then touch Profile Destination Configuration.
NOTE: There is only one default profile, set automatically by the system. You
can rename the default, but it is the default profile used when all
other criteria fail.
3. To set up a profile that routes all images created with specific Cassette
Sizes to a specific destination:
a. Enter the name of the profile into the Profile Name field.
b. Enter a specific Cassette size into the Cassette Size field.
c. Leave the remaining fields blank.
d. Select the destinations you want.
e. Touch Save Profile.
f. Repeat steps b and c for another Cassette size, if desired.
4. To set up profiles for Departments, repeat steps 2 and 3, completing only
the Department field. In this case, you can enter a unique name to
assign the department with the department names set up for the site.
5. To set up profiles for specific Body Part/Projection combinations, repeat
steps 2 and 3 completing both the Body Part and Projection fields with
the specific combinations for each different profile.
6. To set a single destination for all images, add a destination to the default
profile.
IMPORTANT: When selecting an Archive destination, touch Mandatory
so patient data must go there. Incomplete or unassigned
data cannot go to mandatory locations. See the Required
Fields section.
Text Box
Configuration
(Option)
External Text Boxes IMPORTANT: Due to the complexity of configuring text boxes, use this
feature only with printers that have been tested and
approved by Kodak. If you are using this feature on a
printer with unknown characteristics, be sure to fully test
on site to avoid unexpected results.
The text in an External Text Box is printed outside the image area and does
not cover up anatomy. However, the box does require film area, thereby
reducing the overall size of the printed image. If True-size mode is selected,
then the system crops additional image data as compared to printing the
image without the External Text Box.
The CR System sends the External Text Box as a separate image file. The text
box you use depends on the capability of the printer. See Printing
Exceptions on page C-1.
An External Text Box:
Shrinks the image to fit - may not work with all printers.
Impacts True-size printing.

a. External text boxes should not be used with PACS Link products running less than Version 5.0 Software. Previous versions of
PACS Link Software may stop processing all print jobs if an image with external text is received from a CR system.
b. Row Symmetric: In a multi-format image, the images on one sheet must be the same height within each row, but each row
may be a different height.
Choosing a Text Box If you are going to use a single image, you can use either an Internal or an
External text box, or a combination of both.
For multi-format images, the text boxes appear on each image. Place
information that pertains to that image, such as Exposure Index, window and
level, projection, etc.
Place only study-specific data in Global text boxes.
Use text boxes with PACS Link Medical Imaging products running Version 5.0
or higher.
Magnification Factor The Key Operator can configure the system so that the internal and external
text boxes magnification factors are included. If an image is printed
True-size, then the magnification factor is 100%. Minified images have
magnifications of less than 100%. Magnification factors are not available for
text boxes for Multi-format images.
Using the Text Box With this version of software, the text box is fully configurable. You can

Required Fields You can set required fields for delivery to mandatory destinations such as
archives, or to submit exam/patient information. For example, you may want
to make Tech ID a required field if you are using Reject Reason logging.
Making a field Required to Submit guarantees that the technologist will enter
all required Exam/Patient Information at the time the patient record is
submitted to the database.
Using Required Fields for delivery lets you send images that have
incomplete patient demographic information to workstations and printers but
not to mandatory destinations. Once the required information is entered and
the image is accepted, the CR System forwards the image to the mandatory

CAUTION:
In order to support True-size printing, a printer must support
DICOM Requested Image Size. Refer to the printers DICOM
conformance statement to determine if a printer supports
Requested Image Size.
You can print a single image to multiple printers; however, unless the printers
have identical capabilities, problems may result. To prevent these problems,
the CR System formats the output image so that it is compatible with the least
capable printer.
If you are printing to multiple printers equipped with a combination of Kodak
PACS Link 9410 Acquisition System or Kodak PACS Link V 5.0 devices,
configure the external text boxes on the CR to match the capabilities of the
PACS Link 9410. This may prevent false delivery failure messages on the CR
System.
The following are printing exceptions:
Using this Text Box with this System produces this result:
Global External Text Box Kodak PACS Link 9410 Acquisition Text appears above the image.
System

Destination Type Destinations can be configured as one of three types: mandatory, protected or
default.
DICOM Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine. A standard communication
format that allows different types of equipment to work together when
connected through a network.
