Page 9: Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction... - Page 10 10 and 100 cm Leakage and Scatter detector in one The RTI Scatter Probe is a rugged, flat solid-state detector for leakage and scatter detection in x-ray environments. The unique design with two separate detector areas of 10 cm and 100 cm makes no trade-off in fulfilling current regulations and standards for x-ray leakage and scatter measurements.

Product marking Displays detailed information about the product and model Camera thread Camera thread for mounting the Scatter Probe to the complementary mini-tripod, or any standard camera tripod. USB port USB C port for connection to display unit.
- Page 13 Status indicator (10) The Scatter Probe power on when it is connected via USB to a display unit. The status indicator turns RED when the Scatter Probe has power. During measurement with Ocean, the status indicator has various functions, see below.
- Page 14 Trig Mode - Post Delay When Normal measuring mode (auto-trig) is used the radiation has to be off for 3 seconds after trig off before the Scatter Probe is ready for a new measurement. This time is called Post Delay. If radiation is detected before the Post Delay has passed, the Scatter Probe will consider the measurement not finished, and will continue to measure.

2. Start Ocean and wait for the Scatter Probe to connect. 3. Place the RTI Scatter Probe in a position about 1 m from the x-ray source with the detector surface facing the x-ray unit. 4. From the Backstage in Ocean, select Quick Check. - Page 17 8. The measurement screen will open. 9. The Scatter Probe is ready to measure when the the Ready sign in the upper left part of the measurement screen turns green and shows Ready. The status indicator LED on the Scatter Probe will also turn green.

Measurement Principles & Theory Measurement Principles & Theory The RTI Scatter Probe has a number of measurement algorithms and applications built-in. This section describes the main measuring principles, how some values are calculated, and the basic meaning of them. 4.1 Waveforms and Triggers Short Exposure (<2 s) - Page 25 The peak rate is the highest detected signal rate value during the entire measurement. Point 3 as described above. HVL and Mean Energy HVL and Mean Energy is calculated in the same window as described for Signal rate above. 2021.5B RTI Scatter Probe User's Manual...

Page 26: Mean Energy And Ambient Dose Equivalent
4.2 Mean Energy and Ambient Dose Equivalent Relevant parameters to be measured with the RTI Scatter Probe are Air Kerma, Ambient Dose Equivalent (H*(10)), HVL and Mean Energy. The RTI Scatter Probe algorithms are built upon a database for spectrum-specific values with the database being structured in terms of kVp and filtration. -
