Product catalog summary
Overview: The QUART nonius is an advanced electronic x-ray ruler used in various radiography fields such as dental, CR/DR, mammography, and CT. It is designed to verify the size and quality of x-ray fields and analyze fanned x-ray beams.
Quick Operation: The device is user-friendly, requiring three simple steps: position, expose, and evaluate. It aligns with the light field or image receiver edge, and results are read from a connected computer.
Evaluation Capabilities: The nonius assesses light field and radiation field equivalency, x-ray field properties, and fan x-ray beam measurements. It can detect overexposures and underexposures and evaluate dose profiles.
Technical Specifications: The device offers high precision with an accuracy of +/- 0.1 mm. It requires a minimum exposure threshold of dose ≥ 200 µGy and dose rate ≥ 20 µGy/s. The sensor area is 40 mm in length with 16 active sensor elements.
Mode of Operation: The nonius connects via USB to a laptop or tablet PC, providing real-time data transfer for display and visualization. Results are automatically saved and can be printed. It is compatible with Windows OS and includes a USB cable and software.
Applications: The nonius is suitable for dental, panoramic, CBCT, CT, fluoroscopy, and mammography settings, offering comprehensive evaluations with specific minimum exposure requirements for each application.
Scope of Delivery: The package includes the QUART nonius electronic ruler, software, USB cable, user guide, transport case, and an optional QUART bridge universal holder.
Quick Operation Instructions:
  • Align the light field with the nonius center line or position the nonius directly on the edge of the image receiver.
  • Expose the area.
  • Read the results from the display of the connected computer and save or print the protocol.
Ease of Use: The QUART nonius is designed for simplicity, requiring only three steps: Position, Expose, and Evaluate.
Evaluation of Light Field & Radiation Field Equivalency: For the specified field side, the light field is 2.7mm off the actual radiation field.

X-Ray Field & Fan X-Ray Beam Measurement The QUART nonius is an easy-to-use but very sophisticated measuring instrument to verify size and quality of x-ray fields. It can also be used to analyse the properties of fanned x-ray beams. The digitisation in x-ray technology makes traditional film/screens less available. Originally, they were used for checks on x-ray beam properties. Today, the QUART nonius performs the same task. And, it provides even more substantial features. The QUART nonius can be used to verify if the light visor matches the actual x-ray field. In addition, the nonius provides the...

Applications – Radiology Computed Tomography To evaluate width and dose profiles of fanned x-ray beams in CT, the device is positioned on the patient table towards the rotational direction of the scanner. Only one pass is sufficient to adequately assess the parameters. Minimum Exposure CT: 100 kV / 50 mA / SID 100 cm At mammography installations the nonius is mainly used to check the field alignment towards the thorax wall side. The measuring precision exceeds the one acquired with standard phantoms or other tools. Depending on positioning, the dose rate profile within the radiation field (heel effect)...
