Konica Minolta Regius 190
Konica Minolta · Model Regius 190
A new Compact, high-performance design. Utilizing a unique dual bay design?the high speed reader of REGIUS Model 190 processes up to 90 plates per hour for maximum performance. This next generation reader radically improves workflow all within a mere 58×58 cm footprint. Centralized image checking for flexible layout The "Ultimate Resource Sharing" concept provides the flexibility to separate the location of the consoles and the readers. This allows for the same fast and through image checking as with conventional systems. The result: system layout and productivity are optimized according to the number of examinations conduded, the work line and floor space. 2ch slot with independent insert / eject simplifies operation. ln this uniquely innovative design, the entire cassette is loaded into the front slot and ejected out of the rear slot. This helps make the examination handling process exceptionally smooth and efficient. 43.75µm Read Function (option) ln addition to the 175 and 87.5µm read capability, REGIUS MODEL 190 is capable of supporting a new 43.75µm read function for mammography?outside US? This function is invaluable for producing diagnostic quality for mammography images, where recognition of subtle pathological changes is essential. Featuring a new cassette size to provide the ideal examination environment. ln addition to the world's first 11"×14" size featured in REGIUS MODEL170, the new line-up available on REGIUS MODEL 190 includes the 15×30cm size to provide even greater examination efficiency.
Key tips
- ·Never bypass a radiation interlock to "just get the image" - this is one of the few true zero-tolerance rules in BMET work.
- ·Trend image-quality phantom results over time - drift shows up before an outright failure does.
- ·Portable/mobile units take real physical abuse from transport - check wheel locks and cable strain reliefs more often than fixed units.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Poor image quality / artefacts
HighSymptoms: Banding, streaks, ghost images, non-uniform density, dust artefacts.
Root cause: Dirty light guide / scanning optics, a worn erase-lamp array, imaging-plate wear, or transport-roller contamination.
Plate / cassette transport jam or mis-feed
MediumSymptoms: Plate jams in the reader, transport error, plate not returned.
Root cause: Worn or contaminated transport rollers / belts, or a sensor fault.
Incomplete erase / residual latent image
MediumSymptoms: Faint previous image on the next exposure.
Root cause: Erase-lamp array degradation or a driver fault.
Laser / PMT scanning fault
MediumSymptoms: No or very noisy image, scan-error message.
Root cause: Scanning laser or the photomultiplier / detection chain.
Workstation / DICOM fault
MediumSymptoms: Images will not display, annotate or send to PACS.
Root cause: Workstation PC or the DICOM configuration.
