Section 2: Theory
Overview
CARESTREAM Image Suite Software provides a low-cost platform for health imaging management and patient/study data administration. CARESTREAM Image Suite
is a self-contained radiographic imaging system designed to meet the needs of small clinics. This affordable CR-based image acquisition and mini-PACS solution
performs web-based patient scheduling, fully featured image review and reporting, and offers flexible archiving options. Version V2 of Image Suite contains specialized
tools and functionality to address the needs of urgent care centers, imaging clinics, and a broad range of physicians and specialists including orthopedists, podiatrists,
chiropractors, and veterinarians. The CARESTREAM Image Suite hardware consists of one radiographic image-capture device attached to a computer with either a
standard or a high-resolution monitor.
The capture device is accessed by the CARESTREAM Image Suite computer.
The software is based on the GC-PACS workstation software (CARESTREAM GX Workstation 2.0 SP1) and runs on the Image Suite computer.
CARESTREAM Image Suite Software lets users enter patient information; perform workflows; acquire images; display a patient study; perform quality control; process,
print, route, and archive images; and write and print reports. It also serves as a web server to support web clients to distribute images for quick viewing and diagnosis.
CARESTREAM Image Suite Software employs Enhanced Visualization Plus (EVP) image processing software to enhance image quality and to provide the maximum
flexibility for users by adjusting the parameters and getting the best display.
CARESTREAM Image Suite with V3 Software has been redesigned with the user in mind to be an acquisition and optional Mini-PACS software solution with a simplified,
more intuitive user interface that meets the radiography needs of the community hospital, small clinic, imaging centers and private practices (such as Chiropractic,
Orthopedic, and Veterinary).
Image Suite as acquisition can only store 2000 images locally. When the limit is reached, the images are removed by date unless the optional mini-PACS is purchased.
CARESTREAM Image Suite with V4 Software is a software-only solution that includes a patient scheduling module, an image acquisition module
(with simple image review/edit/adjustment capabilities), and an image storage module (such as Web PACs) with advanced image processing/reporting/printing
capabilities. With the exception of the acquisition module, all other capabilities are accessible and usable using a remote (Web Viewer) connection.
CARESTREAM Image Suite with V4 Software includes the following new features:
• Enhanced Installation and Setup Wizard
• Options Server
• DRX and TDR Detector Support
• Core Detector Support (Beam Detect Only)—V4 MR4 P1 or higher
• TRIMAX Detector Support (Beam Detect Only)—V4 MR4 P2 or higher
• Tablet Viewer Support

SERVICE MANUAL
Important
Prior to V4 MR2, the auto partition tool in the Image Suite Install Wizard for the V4 Software supports systems with an MBR Disk only. If your system is set to the GPT
Disk format, you must do the partitioning for the hard drive manually before installing Image Suite V4.
For V4 MR2 and higher, the auto partition tool is on the master CD for GPT support.
The following procedure will show how to check the disk format your system is using.
[2] Right-click Disk 0 and check if Convert to GPT Disk is on the list.
[3] Is Convert to GPT Disk on the list?
• If Convert to GPT Disk is on the list, your system is set to MBR. Advance to Turn off Security Protection and Delete Restore Points for Image Suite V4 only
on Page 25, and then use the Image Suite Install Wizard for V4 software to auto partition the hard drive.
• If Convert to MBR Disk is on the list, your system is set to GPT. You must acquire the partitioning application for the GPT disk type and do the partitioning
manually before you begin the installation for the Image Suite V4 software.

Section 12: Procedure to Uninstall and Reinstall the Image Suite V4 Software
Important
When you re-install the Image Suite V4 software, you will need to run a bat file to add a key to the registry table. There is a separate bat file for human and one for the
vet application.
[1] Download the Uninstall_Reinstall_Tool.zip from the Image Suite page on the Carestream Health Service Portal.
[2] Extract the file to your USB flash drive.
[3] Do the full install for the V4 software for Image Suite.
[4] After the computer reboots for the first time, start the Setup Wizard.
[5] When the Create User Accounts screen appears, stop but do not close the Setup Wizard.
[6] At the desktop of the Image Suite computer, browse to the Human or Vet.bat file according to the application you are using.
[7] Run the Human or Vet.bat file according to the application you are using.
[8] When the application is complete, continue with the Image Suite Setup Wizard.
Important
Client.ini contains configuration information related to the client. You can use Client Configuration for some of the configuration tasks. You must complete the remaining
configuration tasks manually.
[global]
IsClinical=n Set the current workstation to be the clinical workstation. Each user logged on this workstation is considered a
clinical user, regardless of the user’s role.
UsePrivateImpl=1 Configure the current protocol type. If this value is 1, use private protocol; images will send to client directly on
network. If this value is 0, use standard DICOM to send the images.
IfForceResample=y If this value is 1, the image will be resampled, both on zoom larger or zoom smaller.
NoScreenFlash=n If this value is y, the screen will display the image without flash, particularly for the overlay display. However, this
will slow the rate of display.
LazyLoadThreshold =200 The threshold to apply lazy load algorithm. If the number of images to be loaded is less than the threshold, the
system will load all images at once.
[PrintPanel]
LogoPath=logos Set the place where the logo file will be stored; the location can be a related path or an absolute path.
EnableCRSublayout =y Whether to allow load CR image sublayout; the default is yes.
EnableSCSublayout =n Whether to allow load OT (including SC) image sublayout; the default is yes.

;min width of raw image
[global]
RawImageMinWidthPixel =256 When the image width is smaller than the given value, will enlarge the image and then overlay it to ensure the
small images can print clearly. Normally, the value will be 256 pixels. When the value is larger, the text on the
image will be more clear.
[SSCU]
;for teleradiography
StoreTimeout=180 Set the time-out duration when transferring images to other PACS system. As default, the time-out duration is
180 seconds or 3 minutes. If the network bandwidth is very low, increase this number to make sure that one
image can be transferred completely within the time frame.
;0 default TS from modality Set the default transfer syntax when transferring or exporting images.
1. Implicit VR Little Endian
2. Explicit VR Little Endian
3. Explicit VR Big Engidan TransferSyntax=2

• APC Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) can provide a more stable electrical environment for the customer site. You must carefully connect the UPS and configure
the system.
• Depending on the UPS capacity and load, different UPS models can provide a variable amount of power over a variable amount of time when the power source
fails. When you configure the server software, you must plan for adequate time to de-energize the equipment.
• The UPS uses batteries. You must check the batteries regularly. The lifetime of a battery is two to five years.
Caution
You must de-energize the equipment before you connect or disconnect the UPS cable and the server.
[1] De-energize the server and UPS cable.
[2] Fasten two screws on the serial cable connecting the UPS cable to the server.
[3] Install:
• Agent software—install on every machine; the software de-energizes the machine when the server gives a signal.
• Server software—install on only one machine in a group; the software provides centralized management for the group.
• Console software—install on any desktop, workstation, or laptop computers. The console software may be installed on multiple computers if you manage
computers and/or software from different locations.
[4] Configure the UPS server to send the signal early enough to de-energize all relevant equipment (computers, RAIDS) before the UPS is drained.
[5] Check the UPS batteries. If necessary:
a. Remove and safely discard the drained batteries.
b. Install the new batteries.
[6] Energize the server and UPS cable.
Important
• You do not need to restart the system after a backup and restore.
• You must restart the system disk (boot disk) after performing a restore.
• Create rescue media to use if the system cannot start or the internal disk is corrupted.
• The Explore Image function allows you to extract individual files from the backup image.
[1] Install the backup application on the computer.
[2] Start the application.
[3] Use the application to:
• Back up and restore partitions or
