Piranha manual. 1.3. How to Use a Favourite When you start your RTI software (QABrowser or oRTIgo) you will be presented by a list of favourites. In the screenshot below you see what such a list may look like in oRTIgo.
+ 3 mm Al & + 3 mm Al & Quality PMMA (IQST) PMMA (IQST) PMMA (IQST) In the standard RTI favourite “IQST w PDP Rh/Rh 30 kV”, Tube RTI Radiation Quality Code this value is used. Voltage (kV) However, if you have an individual calibration factor on 28.0...
1.3. 1.8. Other Measurements For other measurements, see the Piranha manual. 1 For more information about ion chamber sensitivity variations for cupper filters, see appendix 1. Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual 2009-09/1.0B...
2. Using the Piranha Dose Probe Holder Note! If you want to have the cable of the Dose Probe running through the holder, you need to mount it (starting with the detector side) from the inside of the holder sideways through the narrow opening. Note that you will need to pull out the carbon pipe to make room for the Dose Probe to pass.
A typical setup for measurements in radiography and fluoroscopy with the Piranha DPH directly on the table, is shown below. Note: The Piranha Dose Probe is directionally sensitive, thus the detector surface should be facing upwards for radiation coming from above the table.

2.3. Setup for Rad and Flu Under Table Measurements The Piranha Dose Probe detector surface facing downwards for radiation coming from under the table. 2009-09/1.0B Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual...
DPH in the x-ray beam, e.g. when you would not want the mass of aluminum material of the DPH driving up the mA or kV by the auto brightness mechanism in the system. Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual 2009-09/1.0B...
DPH onto the stand. Extend the carbon fiber rod to its full length and place it at the proper distance from the table top for fluoro dose rate measurements. The holder can also be rotated 90 degrees for a vertical positioning of the Piranha Dose Probe. 2009-09/1.0B Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual...
Piranha DPH is shown below. Note: Remove the small locking ring and thread the large locking ring onto the DPH then fit the DPH into the jig and lock it in place with the small lock ring. 2009-09/1.0B Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual...
Place the Piranha on the underside of the base of the stand and slide it into the GE jig as shown in the picture. This is similar to the way the Keithley 35080 non- invasive divider is placed in the GE jig. Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual 2009-09/1.0B...
Radcal 180 cc is usually placed. There is a specific rod used for the Innova setup. Place the end at the end position of the rear clip to get it positioned in the central X-ray beam. 2009-09/1.0B Piranha Dose Probe Holder User’s Manual...
R100B An example: When comparing the Dose Probe from RTI to a Radcal 180 cc at RQC 5 (70 kV and 2.83 mm Al + 1.5 mm Cu) a relative difference of 8 % (1.02 - 0.94) can be read out from the graph above. An additional 6 % is added due to the scattered radiation that is not registered by the Dose Probe.
