Measuring kV on Hologic MultiCare

BACKGROUND

The X-ray tube in Hologic MultiCare has an anode angle of 16˚.

Since RaySafe X2, Xi and Solo MAM sensors are calibrated using an anode angle of 22˚, you need to correct the kV value when measuring on Hologic MultiCare.

INSTRUCTIONS

Corrected kV value = Measured kV value – 0.4 kV

EXAMPLE

Your RaySafe sensor measures 26.6 kV.

Corrected kV value = 26.6 kV – 0.4 kV

The corrected kV value is 26.2 kV
