1.6 Stray radiation measurements for Planmeca ProX intraoral X-ray unit
The measurements are given for loading factors which result in the maximum local dose
per current time product. The loading factors include the highest selectable X-ray tube
voltage.
PMMA phantom with a diameter of 160 mm and a height of 160 mm has been used for the
measurements. The phantom is compatible with the specification in international standard
IEC 60601-1-3.
The values were measured in the horizontal plane which was at the height of the centre of
the phantom and the X-ray source. The unit of measurement was air kerma per mAs
applied to the X-ray tube during normal use.
Exposure values:
70 kV / 8 mA / 0.5 s
Dose values are presented in nGy/mAs.
