Chapter 1. Introduction
Thank you very much for deciding on FireCR Flash – Computed Radiography Reader.
The FireCR Flash System is ideal for a wide range of Computed Radiography examinations in
specialty practices such as chiropractors, podiatrists and orthopedists.
The FireCR Flash can be configured for nearly every clinical application, and is designed for full
DICOM connectivity, and allows user to setup the system to capture high quality X-ray images
of any body parts with minimal steps including reading, processing, displaying and sending of
the high quality image. All imaging parameters are optimized, resulting in digital images that
can be enhanced, enlarged, duplicated, and sent to any location as a DICOM 3.0 file format in
seconds with no loss of resolution.
Combine the system with reusable phosphor screen equipped FireCR Flash cassettes and
portable X-ray equipment, it can be used for X-ray exams everywhere it is needed, e.g. nursing
facilities, forensic institutions, employee screenings etc.
The FireCR Flash System is ideal for Computed Radiography examinations in busy clinics and
specialty practices. Affordable, rugged, compact, lightweight, fast and effective FireCR Flash
System enables all imaging functions to be performed with the advanced image management
software, a solution that can be adapted most clinical applications.
The FireCR Flash Computed Radiography solution with enhanced workflow and improved
productivity are the best solution for medium sized healthcare facilities and clinics. The FireCR
Flash System complements centralized CR and DR environments such as clinics, ER and OR
departments.

6.4. Shipping
The FireCR Flash is a solidly built system designed to survive shipping around the world.
However, in order to avoid damage during shipping, the FireCR Flash must be properly
packaged.
In general, the best way to package the FireCR Flash is in the original factory container. If this
is no longer available, we recommend that user carefully wraps the FireCR Flash in at least 75
mm (3 inch) of foam or bubble pack sheeting. The wrapped device should then be placed in a
sturdy cardboard carton. Mark the outside of the box with word FRAGILE and an arrow
showing which way is up.
We do not recommend using loose foam pellets to protect the FireCR Flash. If the carton is
dropped by the shipper, there is a good chance that the device will shift within the loose pellet
packing and be damaged.
If user needs to ship the FireCR Flash to another location, or back to the factory, and user does
not have a means to adequately package it, user can order additional shipping container. This
may seem an expense user would like to avoid, but it is inexpensive compared to the cost of
repairing an instrument that has sustained shipping damage.
It is user’s responsibility to package the system properly before shipping. If the packaging is
inadequate, and the system is damaged during shipping, the shipper will not honor user’s claim
for compensation.

1. Introduction
This user manual provides detailed information about the operation of QuantorMed+ and the
use of the range of facilities included in the software to make the processing and administration
of your medical X-ray images as efficient as possible.
Safety Instruction
To ensure the safety of patients, staff and other persons, any changes to software and hardware
delivered by 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. may only be made with prior written permission
from 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp.
Liability
If unauthorized changes have been made to delivered software and hardware components, the
warranty by 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. becomes void. 3D Imaging & Simulations
Corp. will not accept any responsibility or liability for the improper functioning of the product in
such a case.

User Manual
QuantorMed+ Software allows facilities to quickly input patient data – or access it directly from
their HIS, RIS or PACS for improved productivity and accuracy. Image acquisition is supported
by a fully developed list of exams and anatomies, and a viewer displays images on a monitor to
facilitate quality control and image management. Once completed, the study can be sent to the
PACS, printed on a dry film printer, or burned onto a CD or DVD.
To optimize images, technicians can crop, etch, enhance, increase brightness and contrast, and
perform other adjustments. Regions of interest can be highlighted, and users can easily change
the order of images or delete images in the multi-view window. Stitching capabilities for images
of legs, spines, and other anatomical areas are particularly useful for orthopedic and
chiropractic facilities.
Integrated Viewer
For smaller facilities without a HIS, RIS or PACS, QuantorMed+’s local database enables direct
management of patients and studies utilizing a unique viewer function. Technicians and
radiologists can review DICOM and non-DICOM images on the same station they acquired it on.
QuantorMed+ features a full range of output options, including DICOM CD-burn, embedded
view, DICOM send SCU, and DICOM print for dry film printers. The combined DICOM Patient
CD and dry film print creates patient CD / DVDs that include DICOM DIR structure and a built-in
viewer.
