| PDC - Quick, Easy Calibration of DAP (KAP) and Patient Dose Systems | |||||||||
| KEY FEATURES | |||||||||
| SPECIFICATIONS | |||||||||
| Product Brochure | |||||||||
TRACEABLE MEASUREMENTS - The PDC is a reference class instrument for "field calibration" of patient dose measurement and control systems thus ensuring the validity of inter-institution patient dose comparisons.
|
|---|
FLEXIBLE AND CONVENIENT - Use the PDC with a phantom to simulate patient imaging conditions including scattered radiation or mount the PDC on its support stand to measure air Kerma. |
SIMPLE TO USE - The PDC displays DAP (KAP) and dose rate during an exposure then automatically switches to display accumulated DAP (KAP) and dose on exposure completion. |
DEPENDABLE - A tough ABS plastic housing protects the ion chambers and electronics that incorporate several patented features to ensure long term stability. |
OPTIONAL PDC SOFTWARE - |
acts as a remote display panel to the PDC unit. |
|---|
| • | Enables the capture of PDC readings into a spreadsheet that can then be saved for later processing using Excel |
|---|---|
| • | Enables a comprehensive range of capture options providing maximum flexibility with minimal user intervention |
| • | Enables configuration of the operating parameters of the software |
| • | Enables the adjustment of some PDC operating parameters, either temporarily or permanently |
