5. Make an exposure. The RTI logo flashes to indicate that the Piranha has detected the
exposure.
6. Read the values in the RTD.
7. Repeat measurement for other generator set values.
There are some mammographic units that are bit peculiar when it comes
to kV measurements, for instance The Hologic Selenia and IMS Giotto. In
those cases, RTI have updated Application Notes, and there may be some
even for other units. Please check the RTI Electronics website (www.rti.se)
for the latest info. For Sectra MDM, Fischer Senoscan and other scanning
beam units, please see the section Scanning Beam Mammography .
5.5.4 Dose Measurements with the Piranha Dose Probe
It is often more convenient to use the Piranha to measure dose for a
mammography tube since no manual energy compensation has to be done, as
is the case with the Piranha Dose Probe.
