Fluoroscopic dose rate
(Excerpt from "Test Certificate for Fluoro and DFR/DR Systems")

Basic info on dose/dose rate measurement on image intensifier workstations
For dose measurement at the I.I. input (K

( ), attach the dose measuring chamber centrally to the radiation field, as close as pos-

K

B

sible to the I.I.; in the case of spotfil m devices, place it in the cassette shaft. If this is not
possible, measure the dose (K

) or the dose rate ( ) in front of the attenuating layers:

Tg

- With OT units on the tabletop

- With UT units on the spotfilm device rear panel

- With C-arm units on the grid

Using the correction factor m (unit attenuation factor), the value at the I.I. input is calcu­lated.

The unit attenuation factor contains all attenuating layers between the patient and the
image receptor , inc luding t he distan ce fac tor; i t is i ndic ated in th e unit tes t certif icat es and
can also be calculated by multiplication of the attenuation factors of all individual layers.

The radiation attenuation of 6% resulting from the dose measuring chamber must be
taken into account as well (factor 0.94).

Special case 1: Dose rate measurement if the ADC measuring field is larger than

Allow the ADC to adjust with 2.1 mm Cu prefi ltration, chan ge over to ST OP , now place
the dose measuring chamber in the beam path and measure the dose rate. The factor of

0.94 must not be taken into account in this case.

Special case 2: Dose measurement if the dominant is larger than the dose measur­ing chamber:

Place 2.1 mm Cu and the dose measuring chamber in the beam path, release an expo­sure and measure the dose (KBg or KTg) and the mAs value (Qg1). Remove the dosime­ter from the beam path, release an exposure and measure the mAs value (Qg2).

Formulas for calculating the dose/dose rate in the measuring plane for the dose/
dose rate setting

During setting, the dose or dose rate required directly at the I.I. input must be converted
into the measuring plane (I.I. plane or in front of the attenuating layers). For this, use the
modified fo rmulas. .

Do not use the f actor of 0.94 for calculating the dose r ate to be set.If the dose/
dose rate is checked (not set), the factor of 0.94 must be taken into account.

• "maximum fluoro rate":

- Therapy Simulation: OPTILIX 150/12/50 C: max. 1000 W

- High Contrast Fluoro: MEGALIX 125/40/82 C: max. 1200 W
(with HV generators beginning with Ser. No. 01056 max. 2000 W)
with the fluoro footswitch wit h the 2nd pressure point

- "Normal Fluoro" all other X- ray tubes max. 450 W

• When the image intensifier model is selected, al l input boxes are assigned default

values (see also the IQ reference value l ist).

• The dose rate selected is always relative to the full format

(largest I.I. form at!)!

• Program the same dose rate values for Automatic 1 and 2

• Fluoroscopy blocking: "Block on"

according to regulations in Germany and in DHHS countries, fluoroscopy must be
blocked after 5 minutes.

• If fluoroscopy is configured after the "test shots" of the X-ray tube, the X- ray tube test

shots must be carried out again
("Adjustment"/"Tube 1... "/"PT Emulation...": Module J05, J0 6 and J07")!
