Images stored to the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) hard drive or disks could be lost as a result
of equipment or media faults. Further, some characteristics of a disk could make images stored on the
disk inaccessible for reading or writing if the disk has deteriorated over an extended period of usage,
even though it has been stored properly. An improperly stored disk could make images stored on it
inaccessible for reading or writing within months.
Neither FUJIFILM Corporation nor the vendor assumes any liability or responsibility for any loss of
images and data.

● Image Data Management

• Images that have been saved as “Processed” being selected can be reloaded into the FCR PRIMA
Console (CR-IR 391CL), but cannot be printed on a film (optional).
• Before deleting images on FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL), make sure that there is no problem if
the images are deleted. Although FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) allows you to delete images, if
you delete required images by mistake, you would have to make a re-exposure of the subject and
recapture the images.

■ Precautions when Processing Image

• Evaluation of the results of measurement performed on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) is
your responsibility.
Images used for measurement on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) may contain errors in
relation to the actual length of the subject, depending on how the images have been captured and

• When specifying coordinates on the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) monitor, specify them
correctly.
Incorrectly specified coordinates will deliver incorrect measurement results.

1-10 FCR PRIMA Console Reference Guide 897N101440E

■ Precautions when Exposing
• When exposing an area where it is difficult to distinguish the exposed direction and the symmetric 1
body part, mark it using markers for example to avoid the confusion of the exposed direction and body
part.

Safety Information
• Erase manually a remaining image on an imaging plate exposured at large X-ray dose.
Incomplete erasing of an image on the imaging plate could make image reading difficult.

■ Precautions when Saving Data

● Common
• When importing image or study data into FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) (optional) or saving
from FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) to media such as CD, be very careful to check the image
or study data and patient information.

for any other use. Images stored on those disks would be made inaccessible for browsing.
• Use disks that meet the requirements listed in “2.7 Before Using Disks”.
• Be careful not to confuse the DVD disk with the CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI because the CD-R or
DVD-R disk for PDI to be given to the patient is created using the DVD drive to create DVD disks.
When creating a CD-R or DVD-R disk for PDI, write information (patient name, patient ID, birth date,
disk creation date, study date, facility name) on the front of the CD-R or DVD-R disk in order to
distinguish it from DVD+RW/-RW disk.
When giving the created disk for PDI to the patient, advise the patient that the contents of the disk is
for reference.
• Do not handle the FCR PRIMA Console (CR-IR 391CL) in a Windows Explorer operation, unless
otherwise specified in this Reference Guide.
If you eject a disk in a Windows Explorer operation, the data stored on the disk could be corrupted as
a consequence of the disk having been ejected while images were being written to or read from it, or
your application might not be able to eject it.
Further, when you browse through information stored on the disk, the information might take time
before it shows up.

● NAS/USB-HDD
• When the caution about lack of HDD space is displayed, add NAS/USB-HDD. In such cases, consult
our authorized dealer.
• When an error of NAS/USB-HDD is displayed in the indicator for Event, consult our authorized dealer.

■ Precaution when Outputting

• Be careful not to confuse the patient when printing several images on a film for several patients and

 7.7 Saving to PDI Disks
The study images can be saved to CD-R disks or DVD-R disks in PDI format.

• Studies that can be saved as a PDI file are only those with a “Verified” study status.
• Unformatted or unused formatted 640MB or 700MB CD-R disks can be used.
• Unformatted or unused formatted 4.7GB DVD-R disks can be used.
• Before saving study image in PDI disk, write the following information on the surface of the PDI disk to prevent
confusing with study image for other patient ID.
- Patient name
- Patient ID
- Birth date
- Disk creation date
- Study date (write all if more than one)
- Facility name
• The process takes time when a large quantity of PDI data is saved to a DVD-R disk. As a guide value for the
processing time, it takes about 15 minutes to save all measuring data.

 15.15 System Becomes “Not Responding” Status
by Screen Operation During PDI Creation
When the screen operation process is being performed during PDI creation, the system may become
“Not Responding” status. This section describes the countermeasures against the case in which the
system becomes “Not Responding” status.

The reason of being “Not Responding” status is that the PC becomes overload by the PDI creation processing.
Therefore, the OS becomes unable to respond for the operation processing on the screen.
This case may occur when outputting the study with multiple images, so do not perform the screen operation while
creating the PDI files of studies with multiple images.

■ Remedial Action
● For Windows Vista or Windows 7
If the following window opens, select “Wait for the program to respond” and close the message window.

If the program has ended accidentally with “Check for a solution and close the program” or “Close the program”,
restart the client application and create the PDI file again.

● For Windows XP
“(Not Responding)” is displayed on the “PDI creation wizard” title bar.
Wait util the system responses.

 Z.1 Precautions to Take Before Exposure
This section describes precautions to observe before performing exposure.

It is recommended to use Bucky’s device to remove scatter rays and obtain a high-quality image.
When carrying out exposure using a stationary grid, it is recommended to use a 60 lines/cm grid with
fewer artifacts.
Use a grid whose line direction is parallel to the cassette’s vertical direction (between top and bottom).

 Z.2 Precautions to Take in Each Mode
This section describes some precautions that must be followed when making radiographic exposures
in each of the following modes: Auto mode, Semi-auto mode, Semi-X mode, and Fix Mode.

Z.2.1 Precautions for Exposure in the AUTO MODE

In the Auto mode, radiographic images that • Do not set the radiation field extremely

the entire 10”×12” area, use the

“PANTOMO-2:T” (7004) exposure
menu.

(5) EDR Image Data Analysis

• Image unevenness appearing when the grid
used for exposure is not correctly positioned in
terms of the bulb, clothes shadow or unevenly
radiated X-ray to the X-ray exposure area can
be referred to as the problems occurring during
the EDR image data analysis, which cause
unstable density on the image. Avoid such
unevenness in the X-ray exposure area as far
as possible.
• If the target includes such materials as
gypsum, denture, etc., stable density may not
be obtained because such materials make it
difficult to analyze EDR image data. In such a
case, use the S-Shift/C-Shift or FIX MODE.
Precautions for Exposure

• For multiple exposures with a split IP, make

exposure doses on each portion of the IP as
equal as possible (maximum 1.6 times). In
other words, for multiple exposures, submit
each portion of the IP to the appropriate
exposure dose according to the intended
anatomical region as usual.

the quarter-split IP.
• Never position anything other than the subject in
the above mentioned areas. If anything other
than the subject is positioned in such areas, the
image density will become thinner. In addition, do
not position any metals or artificial bones in such
areas. The image density will become higher if
such an object is positioned in such areas.

• It is necessary to control the tube voltage as

usual according to the subject thickness.

Z.3 Other Precautions
Shown below are other precautions to observe when performing exposure.

• When you are changing image processing

parameters, check adequately that such a
change does not affect image reading
adversely. To change standard image
processing parameter settings, verify results
of the changed settings on multiple images
through consultation with the image reading
physician, and then perform exposure.
• When performing exposure of an anatomical
region which is hard to distinguish difference
between the right side and the left side, take
proper measures by, for example, placing
lead characters so that the front and the back
of an image is identified clearly.
