Wired CR Radchex Meter

Technical Specifications

X-ray energy dependence: Simulates relative light output of Photostimulatable Phosphor Plate (PSP) within +/- 3% over kVp range of 60 to 120 kVp and a patient equivalent thickness range of 5 to 35 cm (within specified operating rates).

Digital range: Computed Radiography Light Units; CRLU (AEC#); 0 to 655.35

Wired CR Radchex Minimum CRLU Rate: 1.50/sec (approx 0.15 mR/sec entrance exposure rate)

Maximum CRLU Rate: 2500/sec (approx 250 mR/sec entrance exposure rate)

Power On/Off: Manual switch

Controls: Manually using the Power/Reset button.

Functions: Measures CRLU (AEC#); Converts CRLU to CR manufacturers specific CR plate reader light exposure index value (EI); user selectable. Calculates cassette input exposure values for various X-ray beam conditions (exposure in mR plus backscatter)

Power requirements: 2 x 9Volt Batteries in Interface box.
