Modes of Operation
The following paragraphs describe the six basic modes of operation for the OEC Workstation, including Fluoro, High-
Level Fluoro, Digital Spot, Subtract, Roadmap, and Film. Only basic descriptions of these modes will be given here.
For a complete description of how to enter and use each mode, refer to the OEC Mobile Workstation Operator’s
Guide. This is a paper manual that ships with the Workstation.
Fluoro
During Fluoro (fluoroscopic) mode, the Workstation displays live X-Ray images on the left-hand monitor (also known
as the Primary Display). Technique (kVp and mA) control can be manual or automatic. A fluoro shot terminates and
image acquisition ceases when the operator releases the X-Ray switch.
High-Level Fluoro
During High-Level Fluoro (HLF), fluoroscopic mA increases to reduce noise and improve image quality. The
Workstation displays live X-Ray images on the left-hand monitor (Primary Display). Technique control (kVp and mA)
can be manual or automatic. A high-level fluoro shot terminates and image acquisition ceases when the operator
releases the X-Ray switch, or when the length of the exposure reaches a preset amount of time (20 seconds
maximum).
Digital Spot
The Digital Spot mode creates short-duration HLF images to visualize dense anatomy. The Workstation automatically
saves the image to the hard disk after each exposure. After you save the image to disk, you can apply image
enhancements such as Noise Reduction, Sharpen, or Contrast/Brightness.
