Radcal ACCU-GOLD2 - 10 X6-3 CT CT Dose Index Chamber

65
10X6-3CT
For use with Accu-Gold, Accu-Pro, and Accu-Dose, the 10X6-3CT is a Computed Tomography Dose Index
(CTDI) and DWP or DLP Chamber. Although designed specifically for CT X-ray beam measurements,
either free-in-air or mounted in a head or body phantom, it can be used for DWP and DLP* applications
such as Dental X-ray measurements because of the chamber’s excellent energy and partial volume
response as well as uniformity along its entire 10 cm active length.

* The software produces a measurement in DLP units which is the product of the dose times the chamber
length. This DLP unit should not be assumed to be a substitute for a full set of in-phantom measurements that
are used to determine CTDIw or CTDIvol.
