In the diagnostic imaging environment, the Radcal lightmeter measures the luminance level (brightness) and uniformity of back-lighted display screens, plus the illuminance level of the ambient light incident upon the screen surface. The meter displays photometric parameters in metric (SI) units.
TYPE
Portable, hand-held lightmeter for the measurement of display surface luminance and ambient light cosine-corrected illuminance.
MEASURING CAPABILITY
Measures luminance level in candela per square meter (nits) units and ambient light level in lux units.
LIGHT SENSOR
The base unit of the light meter contains a silicon photo-diode that can be exposed to ambient light through an optical filter, which very accurately simulates the spectral response of the human eye’s photopic response, in order to measure illuminance in lux units. A Luminance adapter can be attached to the Illuminance base sensor above the photo-diode for the measurement of luminance in cd/m² through an aperture with a 10-mm diameter. Accu-Gold automatically detects the presence or absence of the Luminance adapter and selects the appropriate units.
The mAs sensor connects to models Accu-Gold / Rapid-Gold / Accu-Pro / Accu-kV and to the X-ray generator with safety-shrouded banana jacks. The jacks are not polarity sensitive. It is intended to be inserted in series with the X-ray generator return.
The Accu-Pro and Accu-kV require a kV sensor in-beam as a trigger source.
The 90M9-AG and 90M9 measure DC current. When measuring AC current, we recommend using Model 90M9-BR. Click on the “Sensors and Accessories” tab above for details
The 90M10-AG and 90M10 are Non-Invasive Clamp on Sensors.
The mAs sensor connects to models Accu-Gold / Rapid-Gold / Accu-Pro / Accu-kV and couples to the X-ray generator by clamping to the X-ray anode HV cable (clamps up to 23mm diameter).
The Accu-Pro and Accu-kV require a kV sensor in-beam as a trigger source.
To measure Anode current, clamp on the anode cable with the arrow on the clamp pointing towards the X-ray tube. For best results, do not move clamp before and during a measurement or place next to the X-ray tube.
The AGMS-D+ is a Solid State kV/Dose Multisensor for Diagnostic Range Measurements.
A small Solid State multi-parameter sensor used for single exposure and fluoroscopy. It measures dose, dose-rate, time, kVp with FFT analysis, HVL, and beam filtration. It features correction of dose for beam quality.
