RaySafe Xi User Manual – Mammography Measurement

MAMMOGRAPHY MEASUREMENT

6 cm
Place the detector along the X-ray tube axis (with the cable end pointing towards the X-ray machine). For kV
measurements, make sure that the center of the MAM sensor square is placed 6 cm from the examination table
front edge. Dose and HVL can be measured from other positions as well.
The following concerns Unfors Xi Platinum, not RaySafe Xi:
NOTE! When measuring on mammography machines with carbon fibre table, we recommend not to
use the power adapter to charge Xi, or use something that creates at least a 5 mm distance
between the table and the detector, such as a plastic plate.
