| PDC - PATIENT DOSE CALIBRATOR | ||
| PRODUCT BROCHURE | ||||
| PERFORMANCE REVIEW | ||||
| Quick, Easy Calibration of DAP (KAP) & Patient Dose Systems | |||||||
 |
|||||||
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. |
