A failed status indicates that one or more of the image quality parameter values fall outside the system specification limits. If a system fails QAP, operator is advised to call GE Service to make the proper sys- tem adjustments or calibrations to regain optimal system image quality. Periodic QAP tests are recommended to assure optimal system operation.
Page 300 ILLUSTRATION B-3 QAP SELECTION 6. The Image Quality screen will appear. The QAP application has 3 steps: Step 1: Flat field, low dose (fluoroscopy) image acquisition Step 2: Flat field, normal dose (digital record) image acquisition Step 3: QAP Phantom, normal dose (digital record) image acquisition NOTE: Make sure the default Horizontal and Vertical Settings are restored before starting QAP unit.

Page 316: Modes Of Operation
APPENDIX D MODES OF OPERATION The P500D has 4 operating modes: • Fluoroscopy • Pulsed Fluoroscopy • Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) • Radiography The availability of a given mode depends on the selected protocol that is to be performed. That is, not all protocols have all modes available. Protocols that require the acquisition of both Fluoro and Radiography images are divided into worksteps that determine the tube and mode to be used for each stage of the exam.
Page 317 How to recognize when this mode is selected When Flouroscopy mode is selected: • X-ray tube 1 is selected (under table x-ray tube) • The IDD console appears as follows • The IUI screen will display record factors as well as fluoro factors. (The lower portion of the screen is dedicated to fluoro factors.) •...
Page 318: System Controlled Technique Factors
Example of specific clinical procedures The Fluoroscopy mode is designed to be used for the following types of radiologi- cal examinations: • Upper Gastro–intestinal • Cholecystography • Barium Enema • Arthrography • Pharynx/Esophogus • Hysterosalpingography/Pelvimetry • Myelography • Interventional Biliary/Gastro–intestinal •...

Page 321 Example of specific clinical procedures Primarily used for contrast filled vessels. DSA, an electronic technique for imaging blood vessels, is useful in diagnosing arterial occlusion, including carotid artery stenosis and pulmonary artery thrombo- sis, and in detecting renal vascular disease. After contrast material is injected into an artery or vein, a physician produces images that show the difference between the contrast-filled vessels and surrounding anatomy through an image subtraction process.
Page 322 How to recognize when this mode is selected For radiography examinations, x-ray tube 2 is selected (over table x-ray tube). The Overhead Tube Suspension (OTS) user interface displays the following typi- cal information: Example of specific clinical procedures This mode is designed to be used to perform standard radiographic views and procedures on the table top, table bucky or wall stand (if available).
