RTI Dose Probe An external dose probe, designed to perform very low dose rate measurements, for instance, on image identifiers. The probe is very small to avoid or minimize interference with AEC (Automatic Exposure Control) on X-ray equipment. This also enables it to fit into the table bucky. Since it is a solid-state detector, no corrections for pressure or temperature are needed. Neither is polarizing voltage. The RTI Dose Probe is small and has a fast response which makes it ideal for pulsed fluoroscopy. It can detect individual pulses, determine pulse rate, and show waveforms at dose rate....
