The Victoreen® X-Ray Test Device, Model 4000M+ does it all. Simply place the instrument in the x-ray beam, make one exposure, and it serially displays kVp Maximum, kVp Average, kVp Effective, dose, and time. The Model 4000M+ then automatically resets for the next exposure. A CsI photodiode pair provide the kVp measurements through five user-selectable filter pairs. This ensures optimum accuracy over the entire diagnostic range with minimum filtration dependence. Exposure measurements are made with a parallel plate ionization chamber located above the filter wheel. Exposure time is measured with quartz crystal accuracy. Plus, a variety of external ion chambers may be connected for even greater flexibility.
Key Features
- Measures kVp maximum, kVp average, kVp effective, dose and time in one exposure
- Compact, lightweight design
- Displays R or Gy
External ion chambers for Mammo, CT, image intensifier and photo timing measurements Automatic exposure reset for hands off operation Rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries provide more than six hours of continuous service RS-232 computer interface Storage scope output for real-time waveform display Reversible display for fluoro measurements

07-434 Ultra-High Purity HVL Attenuators
- HVL attenuators recommended for mammography
- 99.9% pure for accurate HVL
Because type-1100 aluminum is only 99.0% pure, it has some impurities that can give a HVL value which is 7.5% lower than those measured with pure aluminum. When doing HVL measurements with a mammography unit, it is recommended that the highest purity aluminum be used. This set of six attenuators satisfies this recommendation, because they are 99.9% pure (type-1145).
