1-2 Overview

System data 1

Connection data 1

The SIREMOBIL ISO-C can be connected to the following line voltages:

• 100V,110V, 120V, 127V, with an internal line impedance of < 0.3ohms and
• 200V,230V, 240V, with an internal line impedance of < 0.8 ohms.
Power consumption is 1.65 KVA; may however, reach 2.7 KVA for brief periods.

Service philosophy 1

Service for the SIREMOBIL ISO-C is done at the board or component level. When boards
or components are replaced, there are few or no adjustments. The image memory must
be replaced as a complete unit, if defective.

After connecting the system to line voltage, auxiliary transformer T2 is immediately sup-
plied with voltage and delivers 19V~ to the switch-on circuit.
Power transformer T1 is supplied with line voltage only after the SIREMOBIL Compact is
switched on and relays K2 and K3 are energized. The contact current is limited immedi-
ately after switching the line voltage ON for a period of 150ms to prevent the line fuse
from responding due to peak input current.
Line filter Z1 in the switch-on circuit suppresses any interference superimposed from the
power line supply or from the SIREMOBIL ISO-C.
The main system filters are located behind the line filter. The SIREMOBIL ISO-C is sup-
plied with 20A slow-blow fuses for line voltages up to 127 V~ and with 15A slow-blow
fuses for line voltages of 230V~ and up.

Relay function K1, K2, K3 / Switch-on relays 2

In order for the system to switch on, the power ON switch on the monitor trolley or on the
system console must be activated. Relays K1,K2 and K3 make contact immediately and
relay K4 is delayed. The K1 relay contact bypasses the power ON switch so that the sys-
tem remains switched on when the switch is no longer pressed (latching). Relay contacts
K2 and K3 forward the line voltage to power transformer T1.

Relay function K4 / Current limiting device 2

The K4 relay switches on with a 150 ms delay after power ON and bypasses the NTC
resistor of the current limiter.

Relay function K8 / Switch-on delay 2

If the power OFF switch is activated, latching is interrupted and relays K1, K2 and K3
immediately deenergize. Subsequently, the K8 contact remains open corresponding to
the time constant of the parallel RC element, so that the system can be switched back on
only after a short delay (approx. 5 seconds).

Relay function K10 / System OFF 2

If the system OFF switch is activated at the SIREMOBIL system console, the K10 contact
opens and interrupts the supply current for switch-on relays K1, K2 and K3.

Relay function K5, K6, K7, K9 / Pilot 2

Relays K5, K6, K7 and K9 switch only when the monitor cable on the SIREMOBIL stand is
connected.

When the monitor cable is connected, relay contacts K5 and K9 forward a supply voltage
of 190V~ to the generator.
An additional current limiter ensures that the current for the generator remains at an
acceptable level when the monitor cable is connected. After 180ms, the K7 relay contact
bypasses the NTC resistor in the current limiter.
The components in the monitor trolley, e.g. monitors, multiformat camera, video printer,
etc., are supplied with power via the X2 connections.

Host computer 3

The host computer and various generator modules are located on board D1. The host is a
computer system based on the 80C186 µC with a system clock of 24MHz. The CPU
storage consists of the working memory (RAM), the memory for system parameters
(EEPROM) and a memory for the host software (FLASH). Internal communication takes
place via I/O components, communication with peripheral system components or with the
service PC is via four RS232 interfaces (SCC0 / SCC1), some of which are designed as
20mA current loops. Analog nominal values are output via D/A converters. The analog
actual values are selected by an 8:1 multiplexer and subsequently converted to digital val-
ues by an A/D converter.

TV-system

After the system has been switched on and the supply voltages are stable, the processor
system initially performs a self-test. If an error occurs during the self-test, an error mes-
sage is displayed on the 7-segment display on board D1. If the self-test is successfully
completed, the system is initialized by the host computer. In this process, standard values
for KV and mA corresponding to the average values of the selected characteristic curves
will be calculated; however, the displays will remain on 0 KV, 0 mA and 0 minutes, etc.
The system initialization depends on the host download software resident in memory.
After board D1 runs a self-test, the peripheral system components are initialized. The fol-
lowing sequences will be activated depending on the results of the self-test.

Service switch and displays on board D1 3

Service switches S2 and S3 and reset switch S1 are located on board D1. S2 is a safety
switch that can be used to block radiation release. If S2 is in position 1, radiation release
is enabled. Service switch S3 has four functions:
S3.1-Reserve
S3.2-Download image memory (center segment of V20 flashes)
S3.3-Download Boot software (Status indicator V20 sweeps vertically)
S3-4-Radiation blocked
The V20 status indicator displays the test results of the host system accordingly:

The rotational direction for the CCD camera is entered with the left or right rotation keys. A

coupled potentiometer supplies the actual value of the camera position. This actual value
is forwarded to the CPU controller via a multiplexer, stored intermediately in the S&H
stage and is then converted to a digital value. The CPU compares the actual value with
the nominal value resulting from the actuation of the rotation keys or from stored nominal
values, according to the operating mode. In addition, the actual value signal generates the
camera position indicator and an orientation marker which is superimposed on the moni-
tor image when radiation is ON.
The CCD camera can be set within a range of +220° to -220°, +/-2°.

Since the actual value for dose rate control for SIREMOBIL ISO-C is acquired from the
image signal, the dose rate can be changed via the TV iris collimator. A motorized, regu-
lated TV iris collimator has been installed in order to facilitate selection of various dose
rate values. Three different dose rate values can be programmed via the organ programs.
In this way, different iris collimator apertures can be set, whereby the actual value may be
higher or lower. By comparing the values with the constant nominal value, other dose rate
values can be produced.

The X-iris has a motorized control system which responds to the selection of control keys
Iris open / Iris closed or the I.I. format / cassette format. The driver motor is mechanically
coupled with the iris collimator and an actual value potentiometer to acquire the position of
the iris collimator. The actual value is forwarded to the comparator. In addition, it is then
forwarded via a multiplexer to the CPU, entered in intermediate storage in the S&H stage
and converted into a digital value by an A/D converter. The CPU supplies a digital nominal
value which is forwarded to the comparator after being converted by the D/A converter
and there, it is compared with the actual value. If the nominal vs. actual value exceeds a
certain value, the collimator motor is activated. As long as the nominal value = actual
value, the collimator motor armature is not supplied with current and is not activated. The
enable signal from the CPU enables motor activation.
The X-Iris can be opened to maximum aperture for the selected I.I. format (survey or
zoom) during Fluoroscopy or Digital Radiography. It is normally opened to maximum aper-
ture in exposure mode. Only when both X-iris keys (open / close) are pressed simulta-
neously in FL / DR mode will the X-iris collimator move into position for exposure mode.

The slot diaphragm can be opened and closed with the corresponding keys. The dia-
phragm plates can be moved symmetrically into the center. In exposure mode, the dia-
phragm plates are moved into a park position outside the exposure format. When current
is switched ON, the diaphragm plates are opened.
When the diaphragm plates are opened and closed, the motor and coupling magnet are
simultaneously activated. The coupling magnet reverses the mechanical control so that
the diaphragm opens or closes, as required.
So that the diaphragm can be adjusted without radiation as well, the actual position is
acquired via an angle decoder. To accomplish this, the diaphragm moves to an index posi-
tion defined by a microswitch when the system power is switched ON and from this posi-
tion the programmed diaphragm setting is adjusted. Each time the index position is
reached, the position value is reset to ensure a high degree of accuracy.

Collimator for cassette format 3

A permanently installed collimator is used for the 24*30 format in exposure mode. The I.I.
format is not compromised by the exposure collimator. The position of the exposure colli-
mator is also fixed, because the position of the cassette holder is defined by the patient
longitudinal axis. In general, the X-iris collimator and the diaphragm plates are opened to
maximum aperture in exposure mode. If, however, both keys for the respective collimator
function are activated simultaneously prior to inserting a cassette, this collimator will retain
its setting.

Generator voltage supply 4

The generator is supplied with 190 V of AC voltage from transformer T1 when the monitor
trolley cable is connected. In addition, the voltages:
+5V DC for the digital components
+/- 15V for the analog components
are supplied by the M 14 power supply.

Intermediate circuit 4

The 190V AC voltage from transformer T1 are forwarded via a line filter (EMC) to power
module D2. The AC voltage is rectified here and charges C403 to C406 in the capacitor
pack. Once this happens, a stabile, intermediate circuit voltage of 266V +/- 10% is avail-
able for the main and filament inverters.

Main inverter 4

The main inverter converts the intermediate circuit voltage to AC voltage. During this pro-
cess, the high voltage is regulated via the inverter frequency. High voltage regulation is
located on board D1.

Filament inverter 4

The filament inverter is also supplied with approximately +266V +/- 10% from the interme-
diate circuit. This voltage is converted into an AC voltage signal, regulated and forwarded
via the filament transformer in the SIREPHOS to the X-ray tube filament.

The intermediate circuit on the SIREMOBIL ISO-C supplies a fixed DC voltage to the

tors C403 to C406 are charged. If the SIREMOBIL ISO-C is switched off, the capacitors
are discharged via a resistor. Discharge time is approximately 2 minutes. LED V400 indi-
cates whether the intermediate output voltage is higher than 50V. The actual value is
acquired via a voltage divider and converted on board D1 into a digital value. This digital
actual value is compared with the nominal values stored in the Host computer for error
detection. The analog actual value of the intermediate circuit voltage can be measured at
test point X41 on board D1. For the measurement, 1V actual value corresponds to 50V
intermediate circuit output voltage.

On the SIREMOBIL ISO-C, KV regulation from 40 to 110 KV takes place via the main
inverter. The high voltage is controlled via the Inv-Pulse 1 and Inv-Pulse 2 signals in a fre-
quency range of 15KHz to 35KHz. The KV-actual value which is determined by measuring
the difference between P-KV-act and N-KV-act, is compared with a KV nominal value sup-
plied by the Host computer. Both values can be measured at test points X18 (actual) and
X19 (nominal), whereby a test value of 1V, 20 KV actually corresponds to 20 KV. The KV
actual value is also transmitted to the Host computer via monitoring. The KV regulator has
a PL-characteristic with a resettable I-section. Depending upon the difference between
the KV nominal and KV actual values, the regulator supplies a control voltage for the VCO
that generates a corresponding clock signal. The input voltage for the VCO ranges
between 0 and 10V and controls the output frequency within a range from 30 to 70 KHz.
This control signal is enables radiation ON in the subsequent module.

The KV offset is adjusted during the generator learning phase.

VIDEOMED-DC TV System 5

Overview 5

The SIREMOBIL ISO-C TV system is called VIDEOMED-DC. All modules, with the excep-
tion of the power supply, are located on a board installed in the I.I. housing. If defective,
the entire TV board must be replaced. Since the VID-DC is a self-calibrating system, no
adjustments to the camera electronics are required.
The VID-DC
• is a standard resolution CCD TV system corresponding to the CCIR (625 lines / 50Hz) or
EIA standards (525 lines / 60Hz).
• supplies a standard output signal of 1 Vpp to a 75 ohm termination.
The vertical synchronization corresponds to 50Hz or 60Hz.
• generates an actual value for the dose rate control and the automatic gain control that is
derived from the B-signal.
• is a self-calibrating and self-testing TV system.
• is CPU controlled.

Optics 5

The VID-DC is adapted to the I.I. by means of optics with a manually adjustable iris colli-
mator.
Depending on the type of I.I. installed (17cm or 23cm), there are two different optics for
the VID-DC. Optical sharpness can be set by means of an adjustment wheel. The optics
are integrated in a rotating mechanical frame so that the entire TV unit can be rotated.
The angle of rotation is +/- 220°( +/-2°) and is displayed on the control panel. Positioning
is controlled by the Host computer and the motor control is located on board D1.

The CCD sensor used on the VID-DC works according to the Interline-Transfer principle.
The image that is projected via the CCD sensor optics produces charges in the individual
pixels of the CCD sensor that correspond to the intensity level of the respective pixels.
These pixel charges are taken over into the corresponding readout register during the V-
and H-blanking and are transmitted to the video output of the CCD sensor. The voltage
across the video output resistor corresponds to the pixel charges. The total of all the indi-
vidual voltage values produces the image signal.
Two different CCD sensors are used, since different matrix sizes are required for 50Hz or
60 Hz (refer to figure). For this reason, two different hardware versions have been used
for the VID-DC.
In order to check the functionality of the CCD sensor, it can be illuminated using a test
LED to generate an image signal.
The CCD sensor is cooled by means of a copper plate that is attached directly to the sen-
sor. The sensor temperature should not exceed 42°C, otherwise the image quality can be
adversely affected.

The VID-DC electronics consists of three main modules:

• the actual value acquisition
• the TV control.
The video amplifier generates a BAS signal of 1 Vpp to a 75 ohm termination from the
analog B signal supplied by the CCD sensor.
The actual value acquisition supplies an actual value for the dose rate control and the
AGC.
The TV control provides the control signals for the TV function modules and forwards the
"brightness actual value" via the serial interface to the generator. The serial interface is
used for communication between the Host computer and the TV system.

Input multiplexer 5

The video signal from the CCD sensor is switched via the input multiplexer to the video
amplifier. When switching the system ON, the multiplexer will enter a self-test phase dur-
ing which it selects a test signal that is generated in the TV control. For service purposes,
this test signal can also be programmed via the S301 service switch.

S&H stage 5

The Sample & Hold stage samples the video signal in the pixel clock frequency to ensure
a continuous B signal.

AGC control element 5

The AGC regulates the video amplifier. If the SIREMOBIL brightness control cannot
adjust the brightness of the B signal any further, the automatic gain control is enabled by
the Host computer. The control dynamics of the AGC is 16dB. The higher the gain, the
lower the signal-to-noise ratio, since the signal portion of the B signal is amplified as well.
The image quality deteriorates depending on the gain factor. The control signal for the
AGC is generated via the actual value acquisition and the AGC control circuit in the TV
control. The CPU of the TC control compares the digitized value of the actual value acqui-
sition with a stored nominal value and in this way, produces a digital AGC control value.
This control value is subsequently converted into an analog signal and sent to the AGC
servo component in the video amplifier. As long as the dose rate control does not reach its
maximum value, the AGC will retain a fixed amplification. The actual value for the actual
value acquisition is output at the AGC output.

TV System 5-5
Gamma correction 5

In order to decrease the detail contrast for the signal portions with low amplitude, the
video amplifier of the VID-DC contains a gamma correction stage. This stage has a non-
linear gain. The gain for the B signal portions with low amplitude is higher than for high
signal amplitude values. The gamma correction compensates in a certain sense for the
non-linear characteristic of the monitor picture tube. In this way, the contrast ratio and the
image quality are improved. The VID-DC has a fixed gamma of 0.7.

Amplitude correction 5

The B signal amplitude is corrected in this component during the self-test phase that takes
place after switching the system ON so that the B signal portion of the BAS signal is 650
mVpp. The test signal is used as a measurement signal.

BAS mixing stage 5

In the mixing stage, the B signal, H and V blanking signals and the synchronous signal are
combined to produce the BAS signal.
The amplification values of the individual signal portions are as follows:
B signal 650mVpp
Blanking level 50mVpp
Synchronous signal 300mVpp
These signal values produce a standard BAS signal of 1Vpp to a 75 ohm termination.

In order to generate an actual value for the automatic dose rate control and for the AGC,
the B signal is coupled from the video channel behind the AGC RC component and
switched to the actual value acquisition via a multiplexer. The multiplexer can select the
test signal or BAS signal for other test and adjustment purposes.

Measurement field acquisition 5

Since the most important image sections are located in the center, the outside portion of
the image is blanked during acquisition. A rectangular measurement field is used for this
purpose. Only the B signal portions lying within the measurement field are forwarded for
actual value generation and are able to influence the dose rate control or the AGC.

Evaluation 5

Since the actual value for regulation must be a DC voltage value, the mean DC value of
the B signal is determined with an integrator circuit in the evaluation stage. On the SIRE-
MOBIL Compact, there is only one evaluation mode, namely mean evaluation.

S&H stage 5

The DC mean value generated in this way is stored in the S&H stage. Because the sam-
ple clock corresponds to the vertical clock frequency, the actual value is updated every 20
ms (50 Hz) or every 16.66ms (60 Hz). This analog actual value is forwarded to an A/D
input in the control CPU and converted to an 8bit digital value. The digital "brightness
actual value" is forwarded to the AGC and via the serial interface to the dose rate control.
Notice
If the actual value acquisition or the brightness actual value malfunctions, radiation will be
blocked in the control mode.

the host, and the ACQUI SITION acknowledge signal from the memory, are forwarded via
their own 20 mA circuit.

The A/D converter converts the analog BAS input signal into 8bit digital pixels. After this is
completed, the pixel values can be computed with an ALU (arithmetic logic unit). The ALU
assists in noise reduction and motion detection. The MEM1 memory is the working mem-
ory for the ALU. The image data stored here are used by the ALU for processing. The
completed images are stored in the MEM 2 and 3 complete image memory. The edge
enhancement stage increases the contrast of the object edges. The processed image
data of the current FL image is stored in the intermediate memories MEM4 and MEM5. In
this process, the vertical frequency of 50 Hz (write) is translated to 100 Hz (read) or of 60
Hz to 120 Hz. MEM 6 and MEM7 convert the stored image for monitor 2. The digital
image data is converted back into analog output signals with the D/A converters.

The BAS signal of 1Vpp generated in the TV system terminates at the analog input ampli-
fier at 75 ohms. In this input amplifier, the synchronous signal portion is isolated from the
BAS signal and forwarded to the PLL for memory synchronization. In addition, the B sig-
nal is adapted here to the input range of the A/D converter. The blanking and synchro-
nous portions of the BAS signal are cut off so that only the B signal portion is digitally
converted.

The PLL (Phase locked loop) synchronizes the internal frequency generator with the syn-
chronous signal isolated from the BAS signal. From this it generates the frequency and
synchronous signals for the memory.

The ALU (arithmetic logic unit) is a computer component for calculating image data for
sliding weighted averaging, summation, and motion detection.
Sliding weighted averaging and summation are image integration types that assist in
noise reduction. The image information of the output image is produced from several
images. The number of images to be integrated can be selected on the control panel.
Integration factors are: 1 (no integration), 2, 4, 8, and 16. If a larger integration factor is
selected, no movement of the object being examined may occur, since otherwise the
image would be blurred by the timed integration.
Sliding weighted averaging is used for standard fluoroscopy while summation is used in
DR mode. The difference between both integration types is that for sliding weighted aver-
aging, the information content is taken from the individual images, while for summation
the weighting remains the same.

ALU (Motion detector)

Since image quality problems (blurred images) occur during integration of moving objects,
the motion detection function can be selected on the control console. In this process, the
pixel values of the existing image are subtracted from the pixel values of the new image. If
this produces a differential value that is above a programmed threshold value, the noise
reduction factor is decreased. The motion detection function is available for fluoroscopy
only. Two motion detection factors can be selected for SIREMOBIL Compact.

With MEMOSKOP SUB, the "mask" (native image) and the fill (with contrast agent )
images are stored in Memory 1 or Memory 3. These images are subtracted after adjusting
them using LUT’s so that the resulting image contains only the differences between both
complete images. The mask and fill images differ with respect to the flow of the contrast
agent. This flow is displayed in the resulting image. To change the contrast of the subtrac-
tion image, a window can be opened via the SUB-LUT. The pixel values located within the
window are adjusted at the D/A converter input.

The 68%0$; function is used to display the complete flow of contrast agent for a sub-
traction scene. To do this, the lowest pixel value is stored. If, for example, the value of a
particular pixel in the new image is lower than in the stored image, the stored value is
replaced by the new lower value. If the pixel value in the new image is higher, the lower
value of the old stored image remains unchanged. Evaluating all complete images of a
subtraction scene using this method produces a stored image which contains the lowest
pixel values from all the complete images. This technique is used to display the entire
contrast agent flow in the last image.

Images from Memory 1, Memory 3 and Memory 8 (hard disk) can be processed with the
SUB-MAX function.

MEM4 to MEM7 are memories which contain a half frame each. The complete stored
image for monitor 1 is located in MEM4 and MEM5, and for monitor 2, in MEM6 and
MEM7. The memories are subdivided into two areas. In this way, the image data for a half
frame is written into the half of the memory at 50 Hz or 60 Hz V-clock frequency while the
second half of the memory is read out at double V-clock frequency. In addition, the image
data of the second half frame is written into the second memory half at standard V-clock
frequency while the first half of the memory is read out at double V-clock frequency. The
same process applies for MEM6 and MEM7.

The power supply voltages for the monitor are generated on the power supply board.
All components necessary for the horizontal and vertical deflection of the electron beam in
the picture tube are located on the deflector board. In addition, this board generates the
high voltage for the picture tube.
The video amplifier amplifies the BAS signal that is supplied by the image memory at an
amplitude of 1Vpp.

The following functions are realized on the video board:

• Video signal amplification at the required cathode level for the picture tube
• Contrast regulation
• Brightness regulation
• Blanking value clamping (with / without)
The BAS signal from the image memory is sent via the BAS input jack to the video board
and terminates here with a 75 ohm terminator. If the BAS signal is being forwarded, it can
be looped via the BAS output jack. If this is the case, the termination must be switched off
with S401. The video signal is amplified to cathode potential with the amplification stages.
The amplification factor can be changed with the contrast adjustment and the ambient
light adjustment sensor. In addition, the brightness adjustment located on the video board
regulates the grid 1 voltage and in addition, the brightness of the picture tube. The BAS
signal arrives at the cathode of the picture tube AC or DC-coupled via a video power
amplifier (with or without blanking value clamping).

The deflector board has the following functions:

• Vertical and horizontal deflection of the electron beam in the picture tube
• Generation of high voltage for the picture tube
• Generation of the grid 2 and grid 4 voltage (focussing)
• Safety switch to protect the picture tube from burn-in if deflection malfunctions
• Generation of an electrical mask for blanking the image signal on the edge

Synchronous pulse isolation 7

The horizontal and vertical synchronous pulses from the BAS signal are isolated with a
limiting circuit. In addition, the H and V synchronous pulses are separated from each other
to control the H or V oscillator. If the synchronization signals fail, the oscillators continue to
run so that the blanking does not fail leading to screen burn-in of the phosphor layer of the
picture tube.

Vertical deflection 7

The vertical oscillator generates a frequency that corresponds to the V synchronization,

and which is forwarded to the next integrator. This integrator generates a vertical fre-
quency, saw-toothed current, that is conducted via a power amplifier of the vertical coil of
the deflection unit. The magnetic field of the V deflection coil deflects the electron beam in
the picture tube in the vertical direction.

7-4 Monitor
H-Oscillator 7

The H oscillator generates a horizontal frequency to drive the horizontal power amplifier.
The H oscillator is synchronized with the H synchronous pulse.

Horizontal power amplifier 7

In the H power amplifier, an H frequency saw-tooth current is generated for the H-deflec-
tion coil of the deflection unit. This generates the magnetic field required to deflect the
electron beam in the horizontal direction. In addition, the high voltage for the picture tube
is generated in the H power amplifier, by transforming the line flyback pulse which is gen-
erated. In addition, the voltages for the grid 2 and 4 of the picture tube (focussing the elec-
tron beam) are generated here. The picture width is controlled via the H-amplitude
control.

High voltage monitoring 7

For monitoring purposes, the high voltage actual value is reduced via a voltage divider
and compared to a minimum value in the monitor. If this value is not attained, the H-con-
trol is blocked. To restart it, the system must be switched off and back on again.
Electronic masks
For blanking purposes, masks can be individually set up on the right or left of the monitor.
