DR Radchex Plus: Key Benefits

  • Identifies out-of-tolerance data & tracks calibration drift for DR Imaging Systems
    • Used for dose & image calibration and assessment
    • Cuts imaging system downtime and saves money
    • Meets and maintains ALARA dose goals
    • Assures consistent quality images over time
    • Assures consistent tube output, AEC, & image detector efficiency (DQE)
    • Used on all DR & CR X-ray static and dynamic imaging systems
    • Quick, inexpensive, simple and multi-professional use
    • Technologists, Engineers, Physicists & State Inspectors can identify & track key metrics and indicators of image quality & dose

The Qualitative (Visual) Features of the DR Radchex Plus:

The user enters OLED values to indicate the dose used to produce images. The qualitative (visual) assessment of images is compared to the phantom’s benchmark image quality. When qualitative image scores are tracked over time, they can confirm the integrity of X-ray & Image Processing Systems.

  • When used for daily and periodic Quality Assurance, the DR Radchex Plus is placed on an X-ray machine’s table top

  • One AEC exposure is made to the embedded DISC Plus ‘patient-equivalent (1.5 mm Cu) phantom, producing entrance & exit doses on the large, bright OLED display (mR or mGy)

  • Simultaneously, the embedded DISC Plus imaging objects appear on the viewing monitor for immediate scoring & recording

Users enter OLED dose values into Excel™ spreadsheet along with post mAs, image scores & DR exposure indicator values. Excel™ software graphs values automatically & custom reports are produced to identify ‘out of tolerance’ trends. Reports are viewed, printed & stored for use by Technologists, Physicists, Engineers and/or State Inspectors.
