Accu-Gold
Extracted measurements have the same measurement index as the parent, but include a decimal value.
Additional extractions of the same measurement will increment the decimal (1, 1.1, 1.2...etc.).
List View and export will also provide the results as a sequence.
AGMS DM+, D+, M+ will display dose information when filter is out of range
Previous versions of Accu-Gold did not display multi-sensor dose information when kV data could not be
obtained when the reported filtration was out of range (e.g. >40 mm Al eq. for diagnostic x-ray). This
information is now available for all Accu-Gold "Plus" multi-sensors. This capability is especially useful for
copper filtered diagnostic beams (> 1mm Cu). For mammographic beams, aluminium filtration can now
be added up to 1 mm without loss of dose accuracy (± 5%). Thus, manual hvl measurements can be
performed with aluminium filters. Although dose will continue to be displayed with >1mm Al added
filtration, the uncertainty may increase to >10% for filtrations exceeding 2mm Al. Note: there is no
warning that the uncertainty has exceeded Radcal's specification for dose once the 1 mm Al limit is
reached.
Examples with a W/Ag beam while adding aluminium. The ion chamber is a Radcal 6M:
Note: In the first exposure (above) Accu-Gold reported the hvl to be 600 um Al. In the exposure below,
600 um Al was added to the beam. The result was a reduction in dose of 0.50 mGy as reported by both
the 6M ion chamber and the multi-sensor.
