CT quality assurance to the next level Because of its revo lutionary design it has transformed the CTDI measurement from being inaccurate due to underestimation of the dose for wide beams to be more exact It also has the ability to further analyze the result all in one shot Using a standard 10 cm CT ionization chamber may result in inaccurate measurements due to underestimation of the dose The CT Dose Profiler was developed to solve this problem With its very thin detector chip the detector is completely irradiated when the table is moving and the CT beam scans over the probe The dose is measured in every point of the X ray beam and the total dose profile is acquired regardless of how wide the beam is and without the drawbacks of traditional CT ionization chambers There is no limitation of the beam width With the CT Dose Profiler the dose profile is seen in a matter of seconds Therefore you can avoid more expensive methods that require both preparation before and read out after each scan like TLD and X ray film The CT Dose Profiler is also ideal for measuring point dose and dose rate in the CT beam The CT Dose Profiler is based on solid state technology It is robust and fits into existing standard phantoms used for CTDI measurements Methods and Exposure The CT Dose Profiler is used together with the Piranha and a PC run ning the CT Dose Profile Analyzer Software All settings for the meter and other pre defined data ar
