Rad-Check Plus
"The original" x-ray exposure meter
Introduction
Proven RAD-CHECK technology specifically designed to provide you with the ultimate in versatility and cost-effective operation.
Accurate, lightweight, portable . . . this "industry standard" enable you to gain the critical edge in your QC program.
Applications
Battery operation and built-in detector virtually eliminate setup time. Just place the meter or external ion chamber on x-ray table; collimate, shoot, and read the result.
Precision ion chamber and digital display ensure accuracy plus easy readability.
Rad Check Plus can perform:
- Entrance skin exposure measurements (ESE)
- Fluoroscopy exposure measurements
- Exposure checks; radiographic (mR/mAs)
- Beam quality; half value layer (HVL)
- mAs reciprocity; mA station checks . . . plus many others, depending on the remote external chambers used
- The American College of Radiology (ACR) recommends this type of product in their quality assurance program
Features
- Fast and easy-to-use. Battery operation and built-in detector eliminate setup time
- Measures dose up to 2 R; dose rate up to 20 R/min
- Energy response is ± 5 % from 30 to 150 kVp for the RAD-CHECK PLUS internal chamber
- Optional remote chambers for mammographic and cine imaging systems
- Extremely compact . . . 6 x 6.25 x 2.75 inch; weighs only 1.125 lb
