1 Overview
1-1 Introduction
The Control Station provides the following functions:
• Image acquisition from the Digital Detector
• Image display and manipulation
• Management of Patient information and the Exam Database
• Image transfer to other workstations using the DICOM standard
• Filming of images (on optional laser printer)
• Archiving images (on optional mass archiving system)
• Saving of images on recordable CD-ROMs (if the CD-R Interchange Media option is present)
Senographe DS applications are based upon a graphical, multi-window, mouse- or trackball-driven interface.
Images, lists, menus, and control panels are displayed within graphical windows on the Workstation monitor.
Selections are made using on-screen buttons, menus and control panels, etc., by pointing and clicking with
the mouse or optional trackball.
CAUTION
Software programs other than those supplied by General Electric Medical Systems specifi-
cally for use with this system must NOT be loaded onto the system.
1-2 Control Station Hardware
The Senographe DS Control Station comprises:
• A computer unit (with internal hard disk unit for system software and image
storage), housed inside the cabinet.
• A user interface, called AWS, which includes a monitor, alphanumeric key-
board, and a mouse or optional trackball pointing device for operator interac-
tion with the computer unit.
• A radiation screen mounted on the cabinet. The X-ray Control Console may be
mounted on top of the cabinet.
CAUTION
To reposition the monitor (to move it forward, backwards or rotate
around the lead glass shield) only use the handle to avoid being
pinched.
!
Notice:
The monitor should be used in a suitably dark environment when reviewing
a digital image. The maximum recommended ambient light level is 50 lux.
WARNING
The AWS monitor must not be used for final interpretation of examinations.
