Installation Instructions
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to provide instructions for the installation of the
hardware necessary to allow the Linear Tomography (LT) feature to operate.
Required Tools and Publications

The following tools and publications will be used and referenced throughout this
procedure. The publications must be downloaded from the Carestream Health Service
Portal.
• Standard Tool Kit
• Installation Instructions for the DRX-Evolution/DRX-Evolution Plus, II7171-1
• Test Procedure for Linear Tomography, AA6271
• Specifications for the DRX-Evolution/DRX-Evolution Plus, 8G8804
Prerequisites
Important
The function of the Linear Tomography feature is dependent on proper installation, which include
the following. See the Specifications for the DRX-Evolution/DRX-Evolution Plus, 8G8804 for the
OTC rail coverage for a tomography exam.
• Accurate component positioning and placement, for example, the table and wall
stand—
– The x-ray tube’s travel and the table Bucky’s travel must align, or potential
imaging issues can occur when performing a tomography examination.
– The center of the Table, lengthwise, must be positioned properly within the range
of travel of the Overhead Tube Crane (OTC). Incorrect position can result in the
maximum capable tomographic exposure angle being reduced.
• Accurate basic mechanical setup—
– Alpha must be accurately adjusted since the alpha axis rotates during the
tomography exposure. Poor adjustment can result in the center of the x-ray beam
not remaining pointed at the same relative location on the receptor throughout
the exposure, potentially resulting in image quality concerns.
– Beta must be accurately adjusted. Poor adjustment can result in the center of the
x-ray beam not remain pointed at the same relative location on the receptor
throughout the exposure, potentially resulting in image quality concerns.
• Accurate room calibration—When setting the defined distances to the defined bucky,
ensure the accuracy is within ±1 mm when using the collimator tape measure.
Inaccuracies during room calibration can result in inaccuracies in the SID and layer height.

Install the Cables

1. Disconnect the connector J4 from the Power Control Unit (PCU).
2. Connect the connector J4 to connector P3 on the new isolation board.
3. Locate the new cable, AA5762.
4. Connect the new cable, AA5762, to connector P4 on the isolation board and
connector P4 on the PCU.
6. Route the new cable from the PCU to the rear side of the PDU and up to the
generator’s cable access point.
7. Connect the new cable to connector P2 on the isolation board.
8. Connect each wire of the other side of the new cable as shown in the table below:

Install the Supine Long Length Imaging Bucky Rollers

Note
For the installation of the roller bracket assemblies, refer to the DRX-Evolution/
DRX-Evolution Plus Installation Instructions, II7171, on the Carestream Health Service Portal.
See the Installing the Long Length Imaging Supine section.
1. Move the tabletop to the front.
2. Remove the 2 screws from the right end of the back cover panel on the table Bucky.
3. Place the right LLI-supine guide assembly against the back rail.
4. Compress the roller against the rail until the holes align.
5. Insert the front screw and then the back screw into the slotted hole.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 for the left LLI-supine guide assembly.

Enable Linear Tomography Option

Prior to testing the linear tomography function, the linear tomography option must be
enabled. Enabling an option is a Key Operator function. Instructions for enabling an
option can be found in the system's on-line help application.
Linear Tomography Test

To verify the installation was done properly and the linear tomography option functions
correctly, the feature must be tested using the Test Procedure for Linear Tomography,
AA6271. See the Carestream Health Service Portal.
