I NTRODUCTION
This document describes various aspects of the connection (interfacing) of the Philips CT
Brilliance Series (Scanners and EBW workstations) to an Agfa DRYSTAR 4500, 5500/5503,
AXYS, 5300 and 5302 (hereafter referred to simply as CT Brilliance Series and DRYSTAR)
via DICOM 3.0 Print Management Service Class.
The CT Brilliance Series is the successor of the Mx8000 series and MxView workstation.
It is a PC based application using Windows XP as operating system. The new and old
applications are using the same Dicom interface for printing.
The majority of Philips modalities are using the Vequion common imaging platform, CT
Extended Brilliance Workspace as well.
1.2 DRYSTAR
The embedded software of the new generation Agfa Drystar printers is based on an
operating system consisting of Portex-DOS and Portex-Java. The new generation
DRYSTARs are all using the same Dicom Interface.
The digital images will be printed on the dedicated high quality DT2 media.
This film medium is available in 5 film sizes, i.e. 8INX10IN, 10INX12IN, 11INX14IN,
14INX14IN and 14INX17IN. Drystar 4500 only supports 8INX10IN and 10INX12IN.
The connection is based on the DICOM Basic Grayscale Print Management Service
Class, with CT Brilliance Series acting as the SCU and Drystar acting as the SCP.
The image matrix sent by CT Brilliance Series depends on the Printer Configuration on
the modality, e.g. Film Resolution. Therefore image processing is generally done by
DRYSTAR.

I NSTALLATION D RAWING
This section lists all parts and cables necessary for performing a complete installation of this
interface.
Note:
The Philips CT Brilliance Series establishes a connection to the Drystar via a standard
10-Base, 100-Base or 1000-Base Ethernet interface.
2.2 DRYSTAR
No special parts or cables are required.

IMPORTANT:
Both Philips and Agfa trained service engineers should be present to perform the installation
and configuration of the equipment. This chapter is not intended to provide systematic
instructions on the configuration of each device. Its intent is to point out the device-specific
connection and configuration requirements. Consult each devices service manual for
detailed instructions and procedures.
Login as administrator (or Config); password: mxs (or mxconfig or another (?))

Note:
In case you are not able to print using the new created driver, check line StringP1printerprotocolid. Replace the M952P with Dicom.
To create a new printer driver on CT Extended Brilliance Workspace:
In the CT EBW, a printer driver needs to be created for each printer (e.g.
Agfa.Printer.Drystar.Axys).
The printer files can be found in directory C:\pms\Config\Printers. Make a copy of an
existing printer file and edit the contents with the settings of the new printer.
Example of a Drystar file for CT EBW on contents can be found in chapter Error! Reference
source not found. Error! Reference source not found..

3.3 DRYSTAR
Refer to the Drystar Reference Manual for entering the printers AE Title, the IP
Address, netmask and the router address. This is done via the printers front panel in
either key-operator or 'service' menu.
If more than 2 different film sizes are required to be printed from the CT Brilliance
Series, then the parameter Print even if Film Size ID/Medium type not supported
must be set to NO in the dicom host profile created in the Drystar. This will prevent the
Drystar to print on an incorrect film size when the requested film size is not loaded in
the printer.
A Dicom Host Profile must be created for next parameters and values:

High: the modality sends an image matrix that exactly fits the pixel matrix of the printer.
Medium: the modality sends an image matrix that is half the pixel matrix of the printer.
Low: the modality sends an image matrix that is a fourth of the pixel matrix of the
printer.
When the sent image matrix is smaller than the printers pixel matrix, the printer will magnify
the image using default Magnification Type cubicHighRes and Smooth Factor -0.7 (or -2.5
for older sw. versions).
When Film Resolution High is configured at CT EBW, we expect that the printer shall not
perform additional image scaling. Though, an auto switch to Magnification Type cubicBell
with Smooth Factor 0.9 is activated by default (see printer browser menu Service Tools>Scaling setup in the Connectivity section).
If the images are to crispy/sharp, use Magnification Type cubicBell and change Smooth
Factor from 1 to a maximum value of 2. Value 1 means that no smoothing is done.

There is a dental application called DentaCT on the Brilliance Series. This application
uses a different calling AE when printing to the Drystar. Therefore, if the customer
wants to print from this DentaCT, you will need to create an additional dicom host profile
in the Drystar (see chapter 3.3).
