Introducing T3, X-ray QA Meter

by | May 29, 2024 | News

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.­­

  • T3 Series – A stand-alone meter with customizable display for quick, easy and reliable measurements. Ready to use in a flash.
  • T3 Professional Series – a meter with display and USB or Wi-Fi capability for extended use with your laptop or tablet computer. Using the Accu-Gold Windows application users are able to access a rich set of advanced capabilities such as automated Excel-based reporting and waveform analysis.

Fluoro DAP (KAP) QA is Easy with the PDC

by | Aug 18, 2018 | News

JCAHO (The Joint Commission: Accreditation, Health Care, Certification) has recently released new requirements regarding accuracy of Dose Area Product (DAP) or (KAP) meters as applied to Fluoroscopy applications. Excellent discussions of this emerging requirement can be found at:

https://www.aapm.org/pubs/reports/detail.asp?docid=161

While this is a new requirement, Radcal has provided a solution to independently measure DAP and KAP for over 10 years. This solution is the Radcal PDC (Patient Dose Calibrator). The PDC is simple to use, displaying DAP (KAP) and dose rate during an exposure then automatically switching to display accumulated DAP (KAP) and dose on exposure completion. The PDC is an ideal instrument for satisfying the new JCAHO requirements. For a full description go to DAPcheck (PDC).
