3.6.6 Install the Acquisition Workstation Cables

A straight-through cable is used for the Acquisition Workstation interconnect. Either end
is connected to the Acquisition Workstation or the Gantry. The cables to the Acquisition
Workstation are routed from the Gantry through either the right or left bottom slots found
on the sides of the Acquisition Workstation frame—the screws on the covers are loosened in
their slots, the covers are lifted, and the cables routed through the related slot. The covers are put on
the wires and the screws tightened. The cables are then routed to the front of the Acquisition
Workstation and connected. See the following figure.

Figure 19: Acquisition Workstation Cable Connections

The ground cable is connected to the stud at the Gantry as shown in figure Gantry
Connections on page 28, and then to the Acquisition Workstation as shown in the previous
figure.
The X-ray Interlock connector at the rear of the Gantry provides a normally closed (NC)
contact (5V 10mA) for the Acquisition Workstation. When an external interlock is used
(for example a door or shield switch), a contact opens and an exposure cannot take place.
A switch closure on the contact must occur for an exposure to occur.

Note If the X-ray Interlock is utilized, the state of the interlock

contacts should be displayed by visual means to the operator
per IEC 60601-2-45:2011 (3rd Edition), Clause 203.6.2.1.101.

Appendix C—Dimensions Mobile

Appendix C
Dimensions Mobile
App endix C

C.1 General Information

This appendix describes the Selenia Dimensions system installed in a mobile
environment.

C.2 Conditions for Safety and Other Precautions

An acceptable, stable, clean VAC power source is required to make sure that the system
meets all its performance specifications. Where available, shore power correctly supplied
to the Selenia Dimensions provides the best performance. If a mobile power generator is
used, you must keep the specifications for input power during all load conditions.

Warning: The radiation shield is not approved for mobile use

and is not provided. The coach manufacturer must
provide adequate shielding.

Caution: When shore power is unavailable, mobile power sources

that provide equivalent performance may be employed.
(see Mobile Specifications on page 198.) Proper system
function and performance can only be ensured if
continuous true sinusoidal VAC power is supplied per the
system power input specifications and loading
characteristics. Intermittently, the power source must
provide 65 Amps at 208 VAC for minimum of 5 seconds,
and 4 Amps maximum continuous otherwise. This load
must be supported once every 30 seconds. In the event of
shore or mobile power service interruption, the UPS must
be capable of providing the operational power described
above for a minimum of 4 minutes. Acquisition
Workstation and Gantry power must be fed on separate
dedicated circuits. The use of an uninterruptible power
supply with active line conditioner is recommended on
each power circuit. Accordingly, all ancillary mobile coach
power should be distributed by other circuits. The
electrical installation must be verified to meet system
power input specifications and IEC 60601-1 safety
requirements after initial installation and upon each
relocation of the mobile coach.

MAN-03266 Revision 001 197

Selenia Dimensions Service Manual
Appendix C—Dimensions Mobile

Caution: The temperature and humidity inside the vehicle must be

maintained at all times. Do not allow environmental
conditions to exceed stated specifications when the unit is
not in use.

Caution: Voltages cannot change by more than ±10% when the x-ray
unit or other equipment, (for example heating or air
conditioning) is operated.

Note If a mobile power generator is used, make sure that it is at

least 3 meters (10 feet) from the system. If this distance
requirement cannot be met, additional EMI or RF shielding
can be required.

C.3 Mobile Specifications

C.3.1 Shock and Vibration Limits
Vibration Limit Maximum of 0.30 G (2 Hz to 200 Hz), measured at the point
where the system mounts to the coach.
Shock Limit Maximum of 1.0 G (1/2 sine pulse), measured at the point
where the system mounts to the coach. An “air ride” coach
suspension is recommended.

D.1 System Overview

D.1.1 Gantry Subsystem
The Gantry subsystem consists of an x-ray source, a digital x-ray image detector,
mechanisms for positioning and compressing the patient, mechanisms for rotating the
C-arm, and mechanisms for rotating the tube head to obtain tomosynthesis
(Tomosynthesis option) projection images. The following sections describe each Gantry
subsystem in more detail.

D.1.2 X-ray Source

The x-ray source consists of a high-voltage generator, a rotating-anode x-ray tube, and an
x-ray filter mechanism. The generator supplies high voltage to the x-ray tube, and is
capable of the fast rise times and quick cycle times needed for tomosynthesis imaging.
Filters can be selected from three materials to optimize x-ray beam quality for breast
thickness and composition, and for the type of exam being performed, conventional or
tomosynthesis. The x-ray filter materials for conventional imaging are rhodium and
silver. An aluminum filter is added for use in tomosynthesis. The Selenia Dimensions uses
a filter wheel to house the filters.

D.1.3 Digital X-Ray Image Detector

The Selenia Dimensions digital x-ray image detector is based on technology identical to
that in the Selenia digital x-ray image detector and incorporates the dielectric structure.
The Selenia Dimensions x-ray image detector is responsible for capturing and digitizing
x-ray images, correcting the images for known detector defects and non-uniformities, and
presenting digitized images to the host Acquisition Workstation.
The interface between the detector and host Acquisition Workstation on the Selenia
Dimensions was redesigned to support a higher data rate over an error-correcting fiber
optic link. The host board in the Acquisition Workstation has sufficient memory to buffer
a full combination image (conventional plus maximum size tomosynthesis projection set).

D.1.4 Positioning and Compression

The Selenia Dimensions gives the technologist the capability to position and compress the
patient for all standard mammography procedures. Positioning and compression are
performed identically for conventional and tomosynthesis imaging. The C-arm can be
rotated to allow positioning for all standard views, and both conventional and
tomosynthesis imaging can be performed at any C-arm rotation angle.
Compression paddles are available to cover all standard mammography examinations.
Paddles on the Selenia Dimensions system that are smaller than 24 cm x 29 cm shift center,
left, and right automatically to match the selected view.

D.1.5 Tube Head Rotation (Tomosynthesis Option)

Capturing tomosynthesis projection images is achieved by rotating the tube head through
a maximum specified angle about the stationary, compressed breast while the x-ray tube
emits a controlled sequence of short, evenly spaced x-ray pulses. The tube head motion is
actuated by a DC servo motor while the tube head angle is measured by a rotary sensor.
The tube head rotation is controlled by a servo feedback loop from the sensor to achieve
precise, smooth, reproducible rotary motion during the tomosynthesis sweep.
Tube head rotation is uncoupled from C-arm rotation so that tomosynthesis sweeps can
be carried out at any C-arm angle.

D.1.6 Acquisition Workstation Subsystem

The Acquisition Workstation enables the technologist to enter patient demographic data
automatically or manually, set up examination procedures for each patient, set up
operating parameters and techniques for studies, initiate exposures, review x-ray images
for quality control purposes, and transmit and store images to connected peripherals. The
Acquisition Workstation performs image processing on captured images to optimize
them for soft copy and hardcopy display. The Acquisition Workstation carries out the
filtered back projection operation to reconstruct the Tomosynthesis projections into 3D
image slices.

D.2 Principles of Operation

The Selenia Dimensions uses digital imaging technology to acquire and store x-ray images
of the breast. The system acquires conventional mammography images in an identical
fashion as the Selenia product. The Selenia Dimensions system also captures
tomosynthesis (Tomosynthesis option) images by rotating the tube head about the
stationary breast and capturing x-ray projection images at several angles relative to the
breast. Image capture during a tomosynthesis sweep is the same as during a conventional
image, but the individual x-ray exposures during the tomosynthesis sweep are shorter
and occur more rapidly. The projection images are mathematically reconstructed to
generate three-dimensional breast images that enhance the radiologist’s ability to discern
pathology and structures within the breast.

D.2.1 Conventional Image Acquisition

Conventional imaging on Selenia Dimensions is identical to imaging performed on the
Selenia system.
During the x-ray exposure, the image acquisition system uses the direct conversion of
x-ray energy into charge to produce a digital x-ray image. X rays of a selected energy are
generated by a rotating-anode tungsten tube and are filtered by selectable x-ray filters.
rhodium, and silver. The x rays penetrate the breast, pass through a carbon-fiber breast
tray, and then through a HTC grid.
The Selenia Dimensions digital x-ray imaging detector converts the absorbed energy to
charge-in an x-ray photoconductive layer. The photoconductor is biased with an electric
field supplied by a high-voltage power supply. The converted charge is collected with
spatial resolution by a two-dimensional array of pixels. Each pixel consists of a
charge-storage capacitor and a TFT (thin-film transistor) switch. The gates of the TFTs are
connected together in rows, with each gate being connected to the output of a digital
driver. The sources of the TFTs are connected in columns, with each column being
connected to the input of a low-noise charge amplifier. Following the x-ray exposure, the
gate lines are turned on sequentially and the charge from the storage capacitors are read
out through the low-noise charge amplifiers.
The outputs of the low-noise amplifiers are filtered, further amplified, and digitized.
Parallelism is used in the readout and digitization electronics to increase panel readout
speed. The digitized signal is transmitted over a serial optical link from the detector to a
PCI card installed in a host computer where the image is buffered in PCI card memory.
Image data on the PCI card is transferred to host computer memory by DMA where it can
be stored, viewed, or otherwise manipulated.

D.2.2 Tomosynthesis Image Acquisition (Tomosynthesis Option)

The process used in the Selenia Dimensions for Tomosynthesis imaging is identical to that
used for conventional imaging described above, except that the tube head is moved at a
constant angular velocity about the stationary breast and a number of short, low-dose
exposures are performed during the sweep.
The Tomosynthesis images are made by first acquiring projection images and then
performing reconstruction. For each standard view, for example RCC, a series of
projection images are acquired. Once the images are acquired the projections are
reconstructed into a series of images spanning the entire breast thickness.
The following figures explain the acquisition geometry graphically. During acquisition
the x-ray tube moves over an arc, acquiring projection images. Following the acquisition,
these are reconstructed into cross-sectional slices parallel to the breast platform, labeled as
‘Reconstructed planes’ in the figure below.

Figure 109: Tube Movement During Projection Image Acquisition

The acquisition geometry is shown again for an MLO view—see the figure Acquisition
Geometrical View on page 212. During acquisition, the x-ray tube moves, acquiring
projection images. Each projection image is a low dose mammogram, viewing the breast
from the differing angles.

D.2.3 Image Correction

Selenia Dimensions performs several operations on acquired images to optimize image
quality. Selenia Dimensions performs identical image-correction processes as Selenia.
First, a dark image frame (no x-ray exposure) is subtracted from the exposure image
frame pixel by pixel. This step removes any common-mode noise from the image.
Common-mode noise is noise that does not change with signal level, such as offset
differences between charge amplifiers.
Next, defective pixels are corrected. Defective pixels are cataloged at the time of
manufacture of the detector and are updated periodically during preventive maintenance
performed by Hologic. A pixel is defective if its digital value differs by more than a
specified amount from the average of its neighbors. If a pixel is in the defective pixel map,
its digital value is replaced by a weighted average of its nearest neighbors at this stage of
the imaging process. To ensure the quality of x-ray images, there are limits imposed on
the number and density of defective pixels allowed in a detector. With the exception of the
maximum number of allowable pixel clusters, the defective pixel specification for the
Selenia Dimensions is the same as the specification for Selenia. These pixel clusters have
eight or fewer defective pixels, and are smaller in area than the smallest microcalcification
detectable on a mammogram.
Finally, system gain variations are corrected. Gain variations are noise sources that
change in proportion to x ray signal level. The largest source of gain variation is the
chip-to-chip differences in gain between charge amplifiers. A gain map is created during
system calibration that represents the response of the detector to a flat field. At the time of
imaging, the acquired image is effectively mathematically divided pixel-by-pixel by the
values in the gain map. Creation of the gain map is a function that is carried out during
production and periodically by the system user.

D.2.4 Image Processing and Reconstruction

Once image corrections have been applied, all conventional and Tomosynthesis are
processed to improve their appearance. Two forms of images processing are used,
multilevel contrast enhancement (MCE) and peripheral contrast enhancement (PCE).
The MCE image processing performs the following steps on the image. The breast image
area is determined using a breast boundary detection algorithm. The breast image is
logarithmically converted to enhance contrast in the area of the uniformly compressed
breast. A multilevel contrast enhancement method is then applied to smooth the image.
An adaptive un sharp mask image processing technique is applied to enhance image
contrast. Finally, the processed data set is passed through a sigmoid data conversion
process and the bit depth is adjusted to meet the requirements of the display device. PCE
image processing applies a small amount of dynamic range compression to the digital
values in a breast image so that the skin line can be visualized simultaneously with dense
breast tissue when the image is viewed on a soft copy display or film.
In the case of tomosynthesis imaging, once the projection images are captured and
corrected, the Acquisition Workstation processes and reconstructs them using a filtered
back projection algorithm to obtain slice images. Both the processed projection images
and the reconstructed slices are retained.
The figure Reconstructed Image Geometry on page 214 shows the reconstructed image
geometry. The reconstructed slices are slices at different heights in the breast, and parallel
to the breast platform. The number of reconstructed slices varies with the compressed
breast size; the thicker the compressed breast, the more reconstructed slices. These
reconstructed slices are the images that are viewed by the radiologist.

D.3 Scatter Radiation

All important x ray safety features meet 21 CFR, Chapter I, 1020.31, IEC 60601-1-3, and
IEC 60601-2-45.
Typical values of x ray leakage shown are at a distance of 1 meter from the tube focal spot,
at maximum kVp, and adjusted for a maximum in use duty cycle of 0.027.
Duty cycle comes from a maximum throughput of 12 patients per hour x 4 exposures, or
48 exposures per hour with a maximum exposure time of 2 seconds.
48x2 = 96 exposure seconds per hour, or 96 exposure seconds/3600 seconds per hour =
0.027.
The meter measures x ray leakage in units of mR/Hour.
The meter reading is multiplied by the duty cycle to get the correct leakage value (N x
0.027) and this is compared with the maximum allowed criteria 90 mR/Hour.
