System Configuration
The Kodak CR System is highly configurable and integrates well into the
digital radiology department. You can configure, save and restore many
attributes of the CR System for your operation and optimize workflow:
• Restore Configuration —Due to the advanced printing features
incorporated in the CR System software, take care when configuring the
system. Generate test films when making changes that affect printed
output. This ensures that the changes made are compatible with the
printers you will be using. Once configured, you can save the settings for
backup or transfer them to another CR System.
• Option Registration —Install optional features easily.
• Workflow Optimization —Defining lists optimizes workflow by
reducing the amount of time it takes to create an exam and eliminating
typographical errors. There are lists for Departments, which can be used
to help deliver images to the correct locations, Physicians, and
Procedures. Workflow Optimization lets you map images to procedures,
that is, when you select a procedure from the list, or the RIS feeds the CR
System a Procedure Code, all the image icons are built automatically. You
can construct Trauma defaults for up to 35 patients.
• HIS/RIS Broker Configuration—Lets the CR System communicate with
your RIS, displaying the patient work list. You can also query the RIS for
individual patients.
• CR Display Configuration—Lets you define default query criteria and
how query results are displayed. You can disable the Right and Left
markers here, select Full Resolution viewing, and configure to show the
patient’s middle initial on the PEC Input screen.
• Profile Destination Configuration—Lets you tell the CR System where
to deliver images. You can deliver based on body part, projection, cassette
size, or department. This saves time by automatically delivering the images
where you want.
• Text Box Configuration—You can define what information appears on
the film, allowing you to see only the information that is important to you
and not taking up space with unnecessary data.
• Delivery Preferences —Lets you set CT Pixel spacing so that
measurements on workstations can be displayed in pixels or in mm. You
also set the name and address of your hospital here.
• External Devices —Lets you add ROPs, RPDES terminals, or a remote
Key Operator PC to your system.
• Bar Code Configuration —Lets you program the bar code scanner to
automatically recognize Tech IDs, Accession Numbers, Patient IDs, or
Cassette IDs, populating these fields with the information without the
10 9F3715 March 31, 2005

technologist having to highlight them manually.

• Color Preferences —Lets you customize the colors on your system.
• Required Fields —Lets you determine which fields are required before
an exam is submitted or delivered. If you are using Reject Reasons, you
may want to make Tech ID a required field.
• System Maintenance Defaults —Lets you set the high and low
watermarks for the disk, balancing between performance and image
retention.
• Regional Settings —Pick the time zone and date format for the system to
use.
• Configure Monitor—Select monitor and view default settings; download
drivers for the monitor of your choice.
• Miscellaneous —Select the default body part and projection to use to
process an image if none are selected.
• SMPTE Test Pattern—Use to determine contrast settings. View a gray
scale to evaluate image quality or set the monitor’s contrast and brightness.
• Scheduled Workflow Configuration—Lets you define the workflow to
communicate Procedure Step status to the HIS/RIS, display a Complete
Procedure Step prompt, or set studies automatically to Complete when
Accept All Images is selected.
• Long Length Imaging—Select QA Mode for all Long-length composite
images; set all composite sub-images to delivered; set the default Source to
Image Distance.
• Calibrate Touch Screen—Lets you calibrate the select screen so that
when you select a button, you select what you expect.

receive study information from the hospital’s HIS/RIS, usually via the Mitra
PACS Broker.
You can set up your CR System to communicate with the HIS/RIS in any
combination of the following:
• Polling—the CR System requests records at a defined interval, filtered by
modality, station name, A/E title, and date and time.
• Push—every time a record is created or changed, the Broker sends the
CR System an event notification. The CR System requests specific data
associated with the event. The record is transmitted once, and is sent as
soon as it is received by the Broker.
• Remote Patient Query—a single patient query, configured on the
Polling screen, queried from the Patient Query screen.
HIS/RIS Broker Configuration
You can set up your system to operate in any combination, for example:
• Activate Push to reduce the workload impact on the HIS/RIS or PACS
Broker.
• Activate Polling and set the time interval to 24 hours to receive a
complete update once a day.
March 31, 2005 9F3715 35

If polling is active, each time the CR is started the initial complete query is
started and the timer begins for the next query. For example, if the CR is
started at 9:07 and is set to poll every 20 minutes, the first query is at 9:07
and the second one is 20 minutes later, 9:27.

Using Unique Numbers The Unique Number feature lets you assign unique numbers to trauma
patients. For example if you have multiple trauma patients at once, each time
you select a new trauma patient, a unique number is assigned to the field you
select. This lets you keep separate exams for each patient.
You can enter a unique number in the following fields:
• Patient Last Name
• Patient First Name
• Patient ID
• Accession Number
The number increments each time you create a new Trauma PEC record.
1. When entering data for the field, select the Unique Number.
2. Select a number (1 - 4) that represents the number of digits you want to
use for the Unique Number. Percent (%) signs appear in the field.
For example, if you input Trauma %%% in the Accession Number field,
the first patient is numbered Trauma 001, the next Trauma 002, etc.

Profile Destination A profile is the set of destinations where images are sent. In the CR System,
Configuration Image Routing is controlled by profiles.
A profile has three components:
– Name
– Criteria (Cassette Size, Body Part, Projection, and Department)
– Destinations to which the data is sent when the criteria matches
NOTE: Define multiple profiles with criteria so you can assign the data’s
destinations.
The criteria fields are listed on the CR System by priority in the following
sequence (highest priority listed first):
– Cassette Size
– Body Part
– Projection
– Department
Therefore, a profile with a Cassette Size filter appears before any other profile.
When an exam is routed, the information contained in the Patient Record is
compared to the information contained in the criteria fields of all defined
profiles, similar to performing a query. The System assigns destinations based
on the first profile match it finds. If the image matches more than one profile,
the System assigns the first profile in the list that matches all criteria.
Default Profile A default profile is defined automatically by the System. It appears in the list of
Configuration profile destinations with an (*) asterisk next to the name. You can rename the
default profile, but you cannot delete it.
There must be only one default profile. If the data doesn’t match the criteria
for any of the existing profiles, the system uses the default profile destination.

NOTE: There is only one default profile, set automatically by the system. You
can rename the default, but it is the default profile used when all
other criteria fail.
3. To set up a profile that routes all images created with specific Cassette
Sizes to a specific destination:
a. Enter the name of the profile into the Profile Name field.
b. Enter a specific Cassette size into the Cassette Size field.
c. Leave the remaining fields blank.
d. Select the destinations you want.
e. Select Save Profile.
f. Repeat steps b and c for another Cassette size, if desired.
4. To set up profiles for Departments, repeat steps 2 and 3, completing only
the Department field. In this case, you can enter a unique name to
assign the department with the department names set up for the site.
5. To set up profiles for specific Body Part/Projection combinations, repeat
steps 2 and 3 completing both the Body Part and Projection fields with
the specific combinations for each different profile.
6. To set a single destination for all images, add a destination to the default
profile.
IMPORTANT: When selecting an Archive destination, Select

Text Box
Configuration
External Text Boxes IMPORTANT: Due to the complexity of configuring text boxes, use this
feature only with printers that have been tested and
approved by Kodak. If you are using this feature on a
printer with unknown characteristics, be sure to fully test
on site to avoid unexpected results.
The text in an External Text Box is printed outside the image area and does
not cover up anatomy. However, the box does require film area, thereby
reducing the overall size of the printed image. If True-size mode is selected,
then the system crops additional image data as compared to printing the
image without the External Text Box.
The CR System sends the External Text Box as a separate image file. The text
box you use depends on the capability of the printer.
An External Text Box:
• Shrinks the image to fit - may not work with all printers.
• Impacts True-size printing.
• Prints an External Text Box across the bottom of the film.

PACS Link Software may stop processing all print jobs if an image with external text is received from a CR system.
b. Row Symmetric: In a multi-format image, the images on one sheet must be the same height within each row, but each row
may be a different height.
Choosing a Text Box If you are going to use a single image, you can use either a Print Internal or a
Print External Text Box, or a combination of both.
For multi-format images, the text boxes appear on each image. Place
information that pertains to that image, such as Exposure Index, window and

Required Fields You can set required fields for delivery to mandatory destinations such as
archives, or for submitting exam/patient information. For example, you may
want to make Tech ID a required field if you are using Reject Reason logging.
Making a field Required to Submit guarantees that the technologist will enter
all required Exam/Patient Information at the time the patient record is
submitted to the database.
Using Required Fields for delivery lets you send images that have
incomplete patient demographic information to workstations and printers but
not to mandatory destinations. Once the required information is entered and
the image is accepted, the CR System forwards the image to the mandatory
destination.
