Fluoroscopy Dose Rate 6

Basic remarks pertaining to measurement of dose or dose rate at image intensifier workstations

6 - 1

To determine the dose at the I.I. input (K

) or the dose rate at the I.I. inpu t ( ), center the

dose measurement chamber in the beam and as close as possible to the I.I.; if the system is equipped with a spotfilm device, place it in the cassette slot. If this is not possible, measure the dose (KTg) or the dos e rate ( ) bef ore the attenuat -

ing elements:

- With OT units, on the tabletop

- With UT units, on the back wall of the spotfilm device

- With C-Arm units, on the grid

The value at th e I .I. input is calcula te d us ing the corre c ti on f ac t or m (equipm ent attenuation factor). The equipment attenuation factor comprises all attenuating elements located between the patient an d t he image rece pt or including t he distance fa ctor; the factor is lis t ed in the equipment test protocols. It can also be calculated by multiplying the attenuation factors of all the indiv idual element s . In additio n, fa c to r in a radiation at te nuation of 6% fo r th e dose measurement chamber (fac t or 0.94 ).

Exception 1: Dose rate measurement when the ADC measurement field is larger than the d o se measurem ent chamber:

Allow ADC to adjust to 2.1 mm Cu filtration. Press STOP , then place the dose measuremen t ch am ber into the be am and measure the dose rat e. In this instance, the fact or 0.94 should not be used.

Excepti o n 2: D o se measure ment when th e d o minant is lar g er t h an th e dose measureme n t ch amber:

Insert 2.1 mm Cu and place the dose measurement chamber in the beam. Trigger an exposur e and measur e th e dose (K

or KTg) and the m As v alue (Qg1). Remove the

dosimeter from the beam, trigger an exposure a nd measure the mAs value (Qg2). Calculate the dose at the I.I. input (KB) as follows:

Formulas to Calculate Dose/Dose Rate in th e M easureme n t Pl an e for Adjustment of Dose/Dose Rate

For the adjustment, the dose or dose rate required directly at the I.I. input must be converted from t he measurement plane (I .I . plane or before t he attenuating element s) . For this, use the conversion formulas:

NOTICE

Remark: The radiation attenuation resulting from the dose m easuremen t ch am ber is

already taken into account during setting (for adjus t m ent: remove the dose measurement chamber from the beam). Do not use the factor of 0.94 for calculating the dose rate to be set. If the dose/dose rate is being checked (not set), the factor of 0. 94 should be taken into account.

Example for determining the correction factor

Correction factor m (tot al) = (source-I.I. distance/source-measurement chamber distance)

x m-factor (Iontomat chamber) x m-factor (grid) x m-factor (tabletop etc., if between dose measurement chamber and I.I.) etc.

- Distance correction factor (m source-I.I. distance( rB)

- Grid correction factor (m

- IONTOMAT chamber co rrect. factor (m

- Ta bletop corre ction factor (m

) =

Example:

) = 1.7

)= 1.1

) = 1.1

100

92.5

= 1.17

When sett ing the dose/dose rate, mu lt iply the dose/ dos e rate required at the I.I. input by the correction factors.

e.g. 174 nGy/s x (m

x m

x mT)

174 nGy/ s x (1. 17 x 1. 7 x 1. 1 x 1. 1) = 174 nGy/ s x 2.4 = 408 nGy/s
