Introduction
Dose calculator evaluates the skin entrance dose knowing :
1. kV of exposure
2. mAs supplied
3. distance from Focus to skin (resolution 5mm)
4. measured dose with dosemeter at a distance of 55 cm from Focus for each kV value and for each
combination of anode and filter
The dose is calculated at the end of an exposure.
The obtained dose value is shown on screen. It can be printed on Film by ID printer and recorded in the
unit for statistical purposes.
The Dose is visualized in mGy with a resolution of 0.01 from 0 to 9.99 mGy, and 0.1 from 10 to 99.9 mGy.
Beyond a 99.9 value, HH.H will be displayed.
The ID print function on Film can be enabled or not by the user or by the Health Physicist. Calibration and
periodic maintenance are based on external calibrated reference Dosimeter.
