Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information about the Patient Dose Calibrator (PDC) by Radcal, a device used for the calibration of patient dose measurement and control systems in medical imaging. It emphasizes the importance of traceable measurements for ensuring valid inter-institution patient dose comparisons.
Key Features and Benefits:
  • Complete DAP Meter Assessment: Measures Dose Area Product (DAP) and DAP-rate across various field sizes and beam qualities.
  • Symmetrical Response: Can be used with under-couch tubes without inversion.
  • Patient Dose System Assessment: Measures dose and dose-rate, ensuring accurate calibration and quality assurance (QA).
  • Optional Remote Control Software: Allows automatic data capture with customizable templates.
  • Optical and Radiographic Alignment Markers: Simplifies setting reference field sizes.
Applications:
  • DAP and Dose Linearity: Calibration with dose and field size.
  • Sensitivity Testing: Ensures accurate dose measurements.
  • Entrance (Skin) Dose Calibration and QA: Uses a phantom to establish reference DAP and dose levels for different examinations.
  • Image Receptor Dose Calibration and QA: Measures image receptor dose and tests Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) linearity.
Specifications / Technical Data:
  • Display Range: Dose area product from 0.01 to 99,999,999 µGy·m² and air kerma from 0.001 to 99,999,999 mGy.
  • Digital Resolution: High precision in dose area product and air kerma measurements.
  • Automatic Temperature and Pressure Correction: Ensures accuracy under varying environmental conditions.
  • Rated Range of Use: Tube voltage from 40 to 150 kV, with specific ranges for dose area product and air kerma rate.
  • Accuracy: Inclusive of all uncertainties, with a ±10% accuracy under reference conditions.
  • Power Supply: Internal rechargeable Li-ION battery with over 8 hours of operation time.
  • Physical Characteristics: Weighs 2.32 kg with dimensions of 350 mm x 410 mm x 35 mm, and includes a portable carry case.

PDC-1

Patient Dose Calibrator PDC Quick and Easy Calibration - of Installed DAP (KAP) and Patient Dose Systems USB connection to optional computer control Patient Dose Control Side Display Panel TRACEABLE MEASUREMENTS - The PDC is a reference class instrument for "field calibration" of patient dose measurement and control systems thus ensuring the validity of inter-institution patient dose comparisons. SIMPLE TO USE - The PDC displays DAP (KAP) and dose rate during an exposure then automatically switches to display accumulated DAP (KAP) and dose on exposure completion. FLEXIBLE AND CONVENIENT - Use the PDC with a phantom to simulate patient imaging conditions including scattered radiation or mount the PDC on its support stand to measure air Kerma. DEPENDABLE - A tough ABS plastic housing protects the ion chambers and electronics that incorporate several patented features to ensure long term stability. THE GOLD STANDARD IN RADIATION MEASUREMENT 426 West Duarte Road Monrovia, CA 91016 USA T: (626) 357-7921 F: (626) 357-8863 www.radcal.com
