      If the user is converting to SOTA Cloud from a previous imaging software i.e. CS Imaging, Kodak, Apteryx

       

      You should be working with a clinical decision-maker at the practice for filter tuning. Verify you are talking to a clinical decision-maker before continuing.

      1. Verify the user’s x-ray tube settings are in agreement with the technique factors chart for their x-ray head. See the documentation on general filter tuning for details on this step: General X-ray Image Quality Troubleshooting*

      2. Determine what software the customer had previously, open it, and take note of their filter settings.

      3. Open the SOTA Hub settings menu for Carestream

         

      4. Configure the CS Filter Preset based on the previous imaging system settings

      5. Take an x-ray and verify with the clinical decision-maker that the filters are as expected. If not, work with them to iterate through the available settings for their device until they are satisfied.

       

      If the practice has not previously used an imaging software or is not happy with their existing filters

       

      You should be working with a clinical decision-maker at the practice for filter tuning. Verify you are talking to a clinical decision-maker before continuing.

      1. Verify the user’s x-ray tube settings are in agreement with the technique factors chart for their x-ray head. See the documentation on general filter tuning for details on this step: General X-ray Image Quality Troubleshooting*

      2. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Trophy\IPET\bin and open IPET.exe

      3. Within IPET, work with the clinical decision-maker to determine the best filter setting

      4. Open the SOTA Hub settings menu for Carestream and set the CS Filter Preset to match the selected filter in IPET.

         

      5. Take an x-ray and verify with the clinical decision-maker that the filters are as expected. If not, work with them to iterate through the available settings for their device until they are satisfied.
