Software
The equipment Graphical User Interface can be run with the software provided with
the machine or integrated in a third party imaging and database software that
complies with the following specifications: it has to be CE marked as medical device
of class IIa and integrate the equipment SDK according to what stated in the
document PANOW3D API programmer's guide Vn (n is the document revision),
contact Acteon to have the latest revision of the programmer's document.
The 3D exams can be viewed with any software that can import, view and manage
3D volumes saved in DICOM slices with the following maximum dimensions:
•
Normal resolution full volume: 532 slices, 492x492 pixels per slice, 12 or 16 bits,
for a total of 484 kB/slice;
•
Full resolution 80x50 volume: 542 slices, 984x984 pixels per slice, 12 or 16 bits,
for a total of 968 kB/slice.

X-MIND prime 3D – PC communication
X-MIND prime 3D requires connection to a host PC to transfer images and to
exchange the machine status. The communication between X-MIND prime 3D and
computer requires two dedicated Giga-Ethernet channels that are provided by the
dual port Network Interface Card supplied with the unit.
The information flow from X-MIND prime 3D includes image data and system status
messages that are exchanged only with the host PC via a point-to point connection
separated from the rest of the network. The communication requires fixed IP
addresses for the unit and the pan-ceph sensor. The 3D sensor has a dynamic IP
address.
The two Ethernet cables from the unit must be connected to such ports for the unit
to operate correctly.
In order to properly operate the unit, follow carefully the instructions reported in
the Service Manual at paragraph 7.6.
The system is provided with 2 Ethernet Cat 6 cables in order to permit the PC
connection. In case of replacement, cables of the same or superior category have
to be used.
If the communication between X-MIND prime 3D and PC is not properly set
problems in unit connection causing impossibility of acquisition or loss of frames
causing distortion and artefacts on the images can occur.
