  • Page 29: Operating Procedures

    NATOMIC OTATION Diamond has a motorized C-Arm that has a rotation range of (185°). The axis of rotation is close to the film plane so that the image receptor is able to follow the contour of the breast. This movement, Anatomic C-Arm Rotation (ACR) minimizes the need to adjust the height of the C-Arm when rotating between CC and OBL projections.

  • Page 30: Vertical Movement (Up And Down Movement)

    ERTICAL MOVEMENT UP AND DOWN MOVEMENT The control buttons for the vertical movement of Diamond’s motorized C- Arm are located near the C-Arm rotation controls, at the Position Control Center, at the foot pedals and on top of the tube head.
  • Page 31 When the C-Arm is being driven to CC, OBL or LAT angles, the movement may be stopped by pressing any button. NOTE! Pressing the emergency button always stops right away all such motorized movements, which affect the patient (Tube head, ECS, Z- movement, C-Arm and Stereo). 86500-IMG rev 3 GE Healthcare...

  • Page 32: Beam Filter Selection

    EAM FILTER SELECTION Diamond has three X-ray beam filters: Molybdenum Mo (0.025mm), Rhodium Rh (0.025mm) and Aluminum Al (0.50mm). If required, Diamond can be set to automatically select the most appropriate X-ray beam filter. All filters are motorized and the beam filters can be used automatically, if Auto Filter is switched on.

  • Page 33: Collimator

    For other collimated shapes, corresponding special diaphragms must be inserted manually. When you fit a cassette holder and compression paddle on to the unit, Diamond recognizes the cassette and paddle size and selects the correct collimator aperture. The type of cassette holder is displayed in Control Panel LCD display.

  • Page 34: Compression System

    A compression paddle consists of an acrylic compression plate and a metal supporting frame with fixings used to attach the paddle to Diamond’s compression paddle arm. Graphics indicating the AutoPoint AEC detector locations are silk screen printed onto the acrylic part of each paddle to the extent the size of the paddle acrylic allows.
  • Page 35 When the Z-DOWN foot switch is pressed, the carriage is driven towards the image receptor. There are two compression foot pedals supplied with the Diamond. These connected with cables to the back of the column (3 and 4 in the image).

  • Page 36: Compression Controls

    5.6.3 Compression controls With the Diamond, a manual or motorized compression can be used. The majority of compressions/positioning are performed motorized. The manual compression system is then used for the fine tuning of the compression, if necessary.

  • Page 37: Manual Compression Wheels

    Manual compression wheels 5.6.6 ECS compression system ECS (Easy Compression System) adds one more unique movement to GE Healthcare mammography systems: the independent movement of the C- Arm in relation to the compression paddle. This movement is also independent of the angle of the C-Arm and it is different from the normal up and down movement of the C-Arm carriage.

  • Page 38: Positioning Data Display

    NOTE! In case the patient moves in the middle of a procedure or compression thickness is changed, in order to guarantee the accuracy of the examination the procedure should be started from the beginning. GE Healthcare 86500-IMG rev 3...

    5 Operating procedures 5.9.1 Film markers The film markers provided for use with Diamond are positioned close to the film to prevent scatter. Markers can be moved sufficiently far to extend past the cassette’s daylight ID marking window and into the imaging area of the film.

  • Page 49: Printer Connection

    5.9.4 Printer connection A label printer may be connected to Diamond’s serial port using a serial communication cable. Diamond’s serial port is located at the lower left of the unit’s rear cover. Use digital ID Camera to print the information permanently onto film.

  • Page 50: Special Exposures

    A small focal spot is essential for good magnification image quality and therefore a true 0.1mm focus is needed. The Diamond X-ray tube features a Gaussian 0.1mm focal spot and during magnification studies this is automatically selected.

  • Page 51: Adjustment Of The Magnification Factor

    Spot compression applies local compression to a particular area. There is less overlapping of tissue structures, which improves visualization. NOTE! Be careful when using spot compression as the compression effect is greater on a smaller breast examination area. 86500-IMG rev 3 GE Healthcare...

  • Page 52: Implant Exposure

    There are different types of biopsy paddles available for use with Diamond, each with different openings. These openings are available as holes with a diameter of 18mm, holes with a diameter of 9mm and as rectangular opening of 50x90mm.

  • Page 54: Stereotactic Option

    5.10.7 Stereotactic option Diamond’s optional stereotactic feature of the Diamond can be used together with the ECS compression system in order to perform high- quality biopsies. Three-dimensional digital images can be acquired with Delta 32 TACT -option.

  • Page 55: Lesion Marking

    This moves the different tissue structures from overlying each other giving improved visualization of those structures. The breast tissue at the compressed area is also thinner allowing the use of a lower kV setting, which improves image contrast. 86500-IMG rev 3 GE Healthcare...
  • Page 56 After selecting the paddle, the AEC system operates only within the defined area. Diamond prevents the selection of an AEC detector that is not within the area of (not under) the compression paddle in use.

  • Page 57: Automatic Exposure Modes

    (AutoFilter) upon request. If the Auto Filter function is inactive, then the filters are selected manually with a filter selection button. When Auto Filter mode is selected as 'ON', Diamond chooses the Molybdenum or Rhodium filter automatically, depending upon the breast thickness. When AutoFilter is enabled, the user can change the filter, but after the exposure AutoFilter will again select the used filter.

    Select the mAs setting. Pressing the mAs+ button increases the mAs value and pressing mAs- button decreases the mAs value. The following mAs values may be selected. 350* 400* 450* 500* Table 6.1 Selection of mAs values * not allowed in N.Y. GE Healthcare 86500-IMG rev 3...

  • Page 59: Automatic Compression Release (Auto Rel)

    Automatic Compression Release is the default setting on Diamond and will release the compression paddle after each exposure or in the event of a power failure. You must decide whether or not you wish your Diamond to release compression automatically after compression. The automatic release is automatically switched off when Delta 32 or biopsy paddles are inserted.
