We are very Proud to announce the release of our Brand New T3 series X-ray QA meters. At T3’s core is its unique ability to use profiles. Machine Specific Profiles are used to define the measurement process. They spell out trigger parameters, filtration requirements, the breakdown of the measurement (such as having a scout pulse) and the end of the pulse without user intervention. Special calibrations are built into the profiles eliminating the need to install calibration files. Profile selection allows you to specify different techniques for special measurements. Profiles save time by eliminating manual user settings and often only one exposure is needed. For example, when using the Mammo Combo Mode Profile, with a Single exposure kV, Time, dose, and dose rate are captured for each region. T3’s CBCT Profile allows for the capture of DAP, kV and Dose with one exposure. Frequently used Profiles can be saved as favorites.
