Radiology/Mammography Testing Meters
Diagnostic Imaging Specialists Corp (DISC), St Malo, Manitoba, Canada, offers the QA Mamchex and QA Radchex meters, designed to check and document the performance of mammography and general radiology machines and compare CR to film/screen systems. Both meters can directly simulate any manufacturer’s CR system response and x-ray beam quality parameters, and can initially calibrate and troubleshoot the x-ray tube, CR plate reader, and AEC. When setting up or calibrating a CR system, the meter serves as imaging plate and plate reader, and provides its light-output reading instantly after every exposure, eliminating the need to process the imaging plate in a separate plate reader.
