NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption
and reflection from structures, objects and people.
*Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for cellular telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be estimated accurately. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be performed. If
the measured field strength exceeds the RF compliance level above, observe the Silhouette VR system to
verify normal operation in each use location. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be
necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the [EQUIPMENT and/or SYSTEM].
**Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths are less than 3 V/m.
The Recommended Separation Distances are listed in the next table.

PROCEDURE
Development Equipment
Note: This procedure normally requires a sensitometer. If this is not available, proceed as follows :
- run 2 exposures, using the same screen-film combination but with different mAs settings, mAs(f1)
and mAs(f2).
- develop and measure the density d of each, d(f1) and d(f2). (Measured optical densities must be
between 1.0 and 2.0)
- use the formula below to determine gamma :
- gamma = ( d(f2) - d(f1) ) / log10 (mAs(f2)/mAs (f1))
- if gamma is not between 2 and 3 change or renew the solution
Preliminary Remarks
1.. All calibrations must be performed with a source to image receptor distance between 0.8m and
1.2m.
2.. Center the phantom over the middle pickup tube field.
3.. A calibration procedure has to be performed for each combination of ionization chamber and
screen-film.
4.. If the same screen-film combinations are used for several ionization chambers (e.g. positionner and
bucky), adjust the positionner chamber first, and adust KG only for the other chambers.
For known screen-film combination or ionization chamber, KVEF, KT and KG could be entered with
MENU4 AEC (F5 key). REFER to Calibration JOB card "SERVICE SOFTWARE USER GUIDE .
3-26
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS SILHOUETTE VR SYSTEM
REV 18 DIRECTION 2229351-100
Principle
The automation of this calibration is to use the optical density entered after one exposure or four
exposures to predict and propose the parameter for the next exposures. This leads to a reduction in the
number of exposures to run to find mAs, kV and reference AEC for a given optical density.

1. Press T key and input Destination Density, then validates it with W key. Pressing T key deselect
Destination Density. Run the first exposures proposed by the software, develop the films and
measure the optical density. For each exposure, the software records the AEC signal from the
ionization chamber. The operator then selects the exposure number with F1/F2 keys, enters the
associated read optical density with key pad, and validates it with W key.
Note: There is no Beep during the exposure! The laptop Icon will light during X-ray.
2. When the optical densities have been entered, the software calculate the parameters for the next
exposure regarding the result of the previous ones (AEC signal from ionization chamber and optical
density).
3. The operator should run the next exposure proposed by the software, develop the film and measure
the optical density. The operator then selects the exposure number with F1/F2 keys and enters the
associated read optical density with the keypad, and validates it with the W key. The software
records the AEC signal from the ionization chamber. At each optical density entered, the software
evaluates if those values permit it to find the mAs0, which provides the target density for this
screen-film combination and the kV. When the mAs0 is found, the software calculates the KVEF
associated, then the V key starts to flicker to ask the operator to validate the calibration by pressing
the V keystroke.
4. Select another kV and repeat the previous operation for all kV steps
Note: Dont forget to change the phantom thickness when changing kV settings!
When all kV values are calibrated, the software extend the result and calculates the equivalent mAs (for
an optical density equal to the target value) to the kV,mA plan.
At the end of the first screen-film KVEF calibration , the operator selects the KT time calibration with the
V key after the V key has been illuminated.

optical density with key pad, and validates it with W key. Repeat the operation for the other proposed
exposures (1s, 2s, 3.2s)
3. If the mAs for 80kV, 15cm of plexi or water thickness is greater than 2.5mAs, the software calculates
the necessary plexi or water thickness to obtain less than 2.5 mAs. The calculated plexi or water
thickness is displayed..

PERFORMANCE CHECKS
4-1 Generator Parameter Accuracy
For these performance checks, standard precautions for work with ionizing
radiation must be followed and all calibrations must be completed. Tools needed
are: Service tool Part No. 2228546, KEITHLEY 35080A kV peak meter, RADCAL
MDH 2025 dosimeter with 20x5-60 probe.
The precision of all parameters (kVp, mA, exposure times, mAs) is checked at
variable settings of kVp, first in Three Point mode and then in Two Point mode.
Note: kVp values are measured using kV peak meter Keithley 35080A.
Values for mA, exposure times and mAs are displayed on the Service Terminal
after each exposure.
To enable this display, the Post Display must first be initialized, using the
following procedure:

4-3-1 Summary
Test exposures are made at specified settings, first in Three Point mode, then in
Two Point mode, (without the use of AEC, Automatic exposure Control). The
values of parameters read during the exposure are noted and compared with
specified limits.
In each mode, exposures are made first with the small focal spot, then with the
large focal spot, at kVp values of 60, 80, and 130 kVp.
In Three Point mode, each exposure is made at 20 mAs, and exposures are
made with different values of mA and exposure time at each kVp value.
In Two Point mode, exposures are made with different values of mAs at each
kVp value.
The parameters to be set for each exposure are specified in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4
of this document.
4-4 Procedure
For each parameter and each exposure, the tables specify acceptable high and
low values.
4-5-1 Summary
Measurements are made using a RADCAL MDH 2025 dosimeter with the probe
(20x5-60) positioned at 100 cm (39 inches) from the focal spot.

SECTION 1
EXCEPTION HANDLING
JEDI software performs auto-test at power up and continuously monitors the
correct operation of its functions during application. Any malfunction is stored in
the JEDI error log. Errors found can only be reported if the generator is powered
on and functional.
1-1 Diagnostics
At power-up the kV control performs its own initialisation, checks its memory
integrity (checksum of program and NVRAM) and starts the communication with
its peripherals as well as the system. Communication is permanently checked
afterwards. It then initialises the Rotation board and Heater board with their
respective database parameters and loads kV control FPGA.
Eight LEDs (S7..S0) on the kV control board show the software status.
During power-on, the Heater board and the Rotation board CPUs are initialised
and check their memory integrity and hardware. If a problem is encountered, a
PRD error is reported to the kV control.

The error code structure described in this chapter applies to JEDI error detection
and logging. The JEDI error log file can be accessed from the system through the
system console or a laptop (JEDI error log upload functionality).
When an error is detected, it is logged in the JEDI error log file. The file contains
a maximum of sixty four error logs.
Simplified Generator Error Class Error Code Data Number of Date & time
error code Phase associated occurrences

code
The simplified error code is a grouping of the JEDI error codes. This field gives a
rapid understanding of which part of JEDI is faulty.
6-2
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS SILHOUETTE VR SYSTEM
REV 18 DIRECTION 2229351-100
There are five classes of errors that correspond to different levels of impact to the
system. The class of errors correspond to the seriousness of the errors.
Class Description
1 Errors which have no impact on the system operation.
Errors detected in background diagnostics during application. They are referred
as Warning errors, to monitor drifts and used for engineering tracking.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors are stored in the JEDI error log.
2 Errors which are detected by JEDI and that are recoverable automatically without
noticeable effect on the system, such as error related to recovered tube spits.
The generator phase remains unchanged.
Errors which usually occur during exposure.
3 Errors detected by JEDI during exposure. They stop the exposure and revert the
generator into a safe state.
Error will be reset on Exposure Command release. It will require another Exposure
Command to restart the sequence.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.
4 Errors which are related to any hardware failures, software application or
communication errors.
JEDI will revert to a safe state.
If preparation is in progress, it is stopped.
Errors are cleared either by a reset error action from the system (for system having a
reset error mechanism) or by a prep release or by a new prep command.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.
Application cannot work if errors are persistent.
5 These codes may appear when the generator or tube temperature limits are reached.
The application waits until the thermal information disappears. The error information is
temporary.
The generator phase is set to error until the error is cleared.
6-3
GE MEDICAL SYSTEMS SILHOUETTE VR SYSTEM
REV 18 DIRECTION 2229351-100
Each error code comprises two fields (which cannot be generated and used
separately);
the first field describes the JEDI function which is faulty (referred to as
the function code)
the second field describes the error detected.
Example: error code 0306 means:
03: high voltage generation function;
06: no kV feedback on anode.
Function Codes List
The field date & time stores the date and time when the error occurred. This is
the JEDI internal date and time which may be different from the system date and
time. In the case of logging the same error the date/time is of the most recent
entry.

Warning errors are the result of automated and regular background monitoring
for either software events or voltages exceeding thresholds.
Those errors are merely for engineering usage and do not indicate any hardware
error failure.
However, as they are logged into the Generator Err_log file, just as the previous
list of errors, they are listed here to help error review. If many are seen when
viewing error log, we recommend reporting this with a CQA, since the equipment
is still operating.
