Adding Modalities and
Selecting Image Quality
Parameters
Adding a Modality
After the Imager has been placed into service, you can later configure it to
print images from additional modalities. The Imager can receive images from
12 DICOM-compatible modalities concurrently.
Adding a modality involves adjusting some of the image quality settings in the
Imager to match the new modality.
Before you begin, make sure that the new modality has been set up to print to
the Imager. The Imager must be available as a print destination in the
modality print command.
You will need the following information about the modality:
• manufacturer
• type (CT, MR, etc.)
• model designation
• type and size of film to be used
• whether the modality is Grayscale Standard Display Function (GSDF)
compliant
• if GSDF-compliant, does the modality use PLUTs for all images it sends or
only for some images
You should also decide on a screen name for the modality. This name will be
used only on the Imager touch screen to identify the modality.
The following procedure explains how to add one new modality.
IMPORTANT: You must have the service passcode to perform this
procedure.
1. Send a print request from the modality to the Imager.
2. From the Main Screen, select:
Utilities>Configuration>Installation Assistant>Install Modality
3. Touch OK.
4. Follow the on-screen prompts to install and configure the modality.
