Introduction The Victoreen® X-Ray Test Device, Model 4000M+ does it all. Simply place the instrument in the x-ray beam, make one exposure, and it serially displays kVp Maximum, kVp Average, kVp Effective, dose, and time. The Model 4000M+ then automatically resets for the next exposure. A CsI photodiode pair provide the kVp measurements through five user-selectable filter pairs. This ensures optimum accuracy over the entire diagnostic range with minimum filtration dependence. Exposure measurements are made with a parallel plate ionization chamber located above the filter wheel. Exposure time is measured with quartz crystal accuracy. Plus, a variety of external ion chambers may be connected for even greater flexibility. Specifications Kilovoltage Accuracy: 1 kV Mo/Mo (22 to 35 kVp), (Mammo generators w/30 μ Mo) Range: W/Al Tubes: 27 to 155 kVp, Mo/Mo Tubes: 21 to 50 kVp |
| Time Measured during entire exposure at 90% rise/fall of waveform Accuracy: Within 2% or 2 ms, whichever is greater Range: 1 ms to 10 seconds Exposure Measure during entire exposure; kvp corrected Accuracy: ± 5% Range: 10 mR to 10 R Fluoroscopic rate Measured over one second intervals during fluoro exposure Accuracy: ± 5% Range: 0.5 to 200 R/min Detectors kV CsI/photodiode pair measures x-ray transmission through differential attenuators Time Computed from kV waveform stored in memory against quartz crystal time base Exposure Parallel plate ionization chamber Volume 36 cm³ Window 38 mg/cm², 18.9 cm² polycarbonate Calibration Reference to a NIST traceable voltage divider and a calibrated exposure monitor during irradiation Physical |
