One Shot HVL for Mammography
07 May 12 One shot HVL for mammography is now available to all new Piranhas of version 2 or higher.
One shot HVL is possible both if you are using Ocean or QA Browser, with or without compression paddle.
All Piranhas (version 2 or higher), which are in for re-calibration, will get the one shot HVL feature. -

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 Piranha
The DCT10 RS can be connected via Chamber Adapter to the Piranha to measure CT dose.
| Dose Rate | 0.8 mGycm/s to 8 Gycm/s |
| Inaccuracy | ±6 % or ±0.08 mGycm/s |
DCT10 and the 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 |
