9 - 14 Image Quality
Creation of new pixel map 9
During the calibration function, you have the option of creating a new pixel map of the
detector. The pixel map indicates which pixels in the Detector’s array might not be reading
X-ray densities correctly and so should be ignored when the image is acquired. This is
similar to a bad spot map for a computer’s hard disk.
A new pixel map should be created when an excessive amount of pixel dropout is occur-
ring repeatedly on images displayed in the Image Preview window.
To create a new pixel map:
1. Log into local service Options -> Service -> Local Service.
2. Select Acquisition System.
Make sure that no patient is registered before you start the Bad
Pixel Mapping.
The Service Level 5 or higher is necessary to do the Bad Pixel
Mapping.
