Description

In this feasibility study, a constant potential X-ray irradiation facility was optimized for performance tests of diagnostic radiology instruments. Responses of two different diagnostic instruments were compared in measuring of peak voltage kVp and air kerma rate Kalpha , the results being within the technical characteristics of the producers. In order to use the facility for traceable calibrations in future, the qualities of the required spectra should be refined and air kerma measured in accordance to the international standards.(author)
