Redesigned and Improved MAS-1
02 Jun 10 This month RTI releases the new redesigned MAS-1.
DCT10 Pencil Ionization Chamber
Ionization Chamber for CTDI Measurements
The DCT10 RS is rugged, cylindrical pencil shaped air ionization chamber for CTDI measurements. The CT probe is intended for measuring and monitoring the exposure output level of CT scanners in a phantom or in air. CT dose index, CTDI, can be measured in accordance with IEC 61223-2-6.
DCT10 and Barracuda
The DCT10 RS can be connected directly to the Barracuda (via an electrometer module supporting bias) to measure CT dose. Barracuda has built-in functions to simplify measurements of CTDI (CT dose index).
| Dose | 40 nGym-350 kGym |
| 4 µGycm-35 MGycm |
|
| Dose rate | 1.6 µGym/s-70 kGym/s |
| 160 µGycm/s-7kGycm/s | |
| Inaccuracy | ±5 % or 16 µGycm/s |
DCT10 and the Solidose Family
The DCT10 RS can be connected directly to the Solidose 400 to measure CT dose.
| Dose | 20 µGycm - 400 kGycm ±5 % |
| 2.3 mRcm - 46 MRcm | |
| Dose rate | 200 µGycm/s - 600 Gycm/s ±5 % |
| 1.4 Rcm/min - 4 MRcm/min |
