2–1–9 Maximum Tolerance of Displayed Constants (with and without AEC or AOP)
kV:+/– 2% + M1+M1’
mAs: +/– 5% +/– 1 mAs + M4 + M4’
M: accuracy of the instruments used for the test.
M1 = +/– 0.6 kV +/– 1.5% Dynalizer accuracy in
cathode to ground
configuration
M4 = +/– 0.1 mAs +/– 2.6% Dynalizer accuracy
M1’ = Accuracy of the measuring device
M4’ = Accuracy of the measuring device
2–1–10 Measurement Conditions
kVp: Connect a voltage divider in series with the x-ray tube and measure the voltage
with an oscilloscope,
mAs: Use a waveform analyzer connected in series with the x-ray tube. The oscilloscope
receives a signal proportional to the high voltage applied to the tube. The mAs
values are given by:
mAs
T1
T2
idt
Where T1 is the time at which the high voltage reaches 75% of its maximum value,
and T is the time at which the high voltage returns to 75% of the maximum value.
2–2 Filters
The filters are installed on a disk driven by a stepping motor which moves from one filter to the
other.
Two different filters are supplied:
Molybdenum: 0.03 mm,
Rhodium: 0.025 mm,
The Column electronics control the filters according to operator requirements in AEC or
MANUAL mode, or to software requirements in AOP mode.
