Scanning Simulation Films
CAUTION
Before beginning, make sure you configure the applicable settings in
the DFI Configuration dialog box.
You must power on the scanner before you power on your MOSAIQ
workstation. If you fail to do so, MOSAIQ will not detect the scanner.
1. Click File | Import/Export | Digitized Film Import to open the Digitize Film Import
dialog box.
The Status field shows Waiting for film. The other scanning statuses are as follows:
"Waiting for film" when no film is loaded.
"Digitizer not ready..." when a film is loaded and while the digitizer performs
Automatic Digitizer Calibration (ADC).
"Digitizing…" while the film is being digitized.
"Processing image…" after the film has been digitized and while the image is being
processed.
"Done" when image processing is complete and a thumbnail of the image is
displayed.
"Ready to digitize" when digitizing is complete and another film is loaded.
"Saving image…" while writing the image file.
"Image saved" when the image file is written to the staging area.
2. Click adjacent to the Machine field, then click the machine used to create the image
on the simulator film.
If the film was acquired on a machine in your department and you configured default
settings for that machine, the default Film Information settings for the machine
automatically appear when you select the machine name.
3. Verify or type the source-to-axis distance in the SAD field, press TAB, then verify or type
the source-to-film Distance in the SFD field.
This specifies image distances for specific planes so that measurements may be made
from ViewStation. You bypassed the Pixel Size Type field to accept the default, SFD. Use
SFD for standard films taken from a simulator or accelerator. You select Actual when
you do not know the SFD.
4. Click adjacent to the Image type field, then click the type of image.
