 Patient Dose Monitoring

Your challenge - Our solutions

Regulatory Requirements:
The purpose of routine measurements of Dose Area Product or entrance dose is to help in achieving
an overall reduction in the radiation received by patients undergoing medical radiological examinations.
Provided adequate records are kept, it is possible to determine patient effective doses and to compare
different examination techniques. In this respect, such measurements have tended to indicate a deterioration
in the efficiency of the image-production system. Therefore, Dose Area Product Meters and Entrance Dose
or Entrance Dose Rate Meters must be of a quality that fulfill the special needs defined in the International
Performance Standards for diagnostic X-ray systems (according to IEC 60580, FDA publication:
Amendments to the Performance Standard for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems).

These International Standards lay down the stipulations for the performance testing of Dose Area Product
Meters with Ionisation Chambers intended to measure the Dose Area Product and/or Entrance Dose Rate to
which the patient is exposed during medical radiological examinations.

According to the "Council Directive 97/43/EURATOM of 30 June 1997 on health protection for
individuals against the dangers of ionizing radiation in relation to medical exposure" every member
state of the European Community has to publish diagnostic reference levels for radiodiagnostic examinations
(Article 4, Optimisation, No. 2 (a)).
The easiest way to determine these reference levels is the use of Dose Area Product Meters.

According to this Council Directive 97/43/EURATOM it is also obligatory that every new radiodiagnostic
X-ray installation shall have.

"A device informing the practioner of the quantity of radiation produced by the equipment during the
radiological procedure". (Article 8, Equipment No. 6)

®
This is usually realized by the installation of a Dose Area Product Meter system. Our KermaX plus systems
offer a quick and easy solution.

This Council Directive 97/43/EURATOM of 30 June 1997 must be implemented into the National Law of
each EC member state.

In addition, some member states of the European Community have laid down in their national laws that several
types of already installed X-ray units must be retrofitted with such a Dose Area Product Meter. Others will follow
soon. Please contact us for detailed information regarding legal situations in different countries.

 Frequently Asked Questions "FAQs"

n Question: Is an additional dosemeter for constancy tests needed when using the KermaX® plus
TinO measuring system?
n Answer: No. A dosemeter is already integrated into the KermaX® plus TinO. Because of that no
separate dosemeter is necessary anymore.

n Question: Can I use the same chamber in an undercouch arrangement ?

n Answer: No. The KermaX® plus measuring system for this application must first be specially
calibrated by the manufacturer. Please always quote the type of X-ray installation you
have when placing an order.

n Question: Are Wellhoefer measuring systems suitable for use in paediatric radiology ?
n Answer: Yes. All our KermaX® plus “High Sensitivity” systems, IDP, SDP, C and DDP with HS
chambers are highly suited for paediatric X-ray applications. (see page 6)

n Question: Are our measuring systems compatible with RIS / HIS systems ?
n Answer: All KermaX® plus measuring systems (besides KermaX® plus TinO IDP and
KermaX® plus TinO DDP) are compatible through their integrated RS 232 interfaces
with RIS / HIS networks and can be easily connected. The integration into your existing
system is carried out by your RIS / HIS provider. Prices for cabling and interfaces can be
taken from the current pricelist. Software drivers are not included in the price.

n Question: Can additional filters be incorporated into our systems ?

n Answer: Yes. Using adaptors for Siemens or Philips installations together with additional extension
rails, the majority of all currently used filters can be employed.

n Question: When do I need the additional extension rails shown in the pricelist ?
n Answer: When using additional filters with a minimum height of 3 mm up to a maximum height
of 23 mm.

n Queston: Is a Constancy Test still possible using a Dose Area Product measuring device ?
n Answer: Yes. The adaptor for all currently available X-ray installations contains an accessory holder
in which the patient equivalent filter can easily be mounted below the Dose Area Product
Meter measuring device. Please note: It is permitted to use this accessory holder for
accessory filters when examining the patient.

n Question: Is it possible to use alternating (Mains) current as the power source for Scanditronix
Wellhoefer Dose Area Product measuring systems ?
n Answer: Yes. By use of the AC / DC mains adaptor (not direct).

n Question: Which type of X-ray installation can be equipped with a Dose Area Product measuring
device from Scanditronix Wellhoefer ?
n Answer: Our measuring systems are modular in construction and can therefore be universally
employed. Call us. Even for the most unusual systems we are sure to have a solution!

n Question: Is the connection of a printer to a KermaX® plus SDP/BT (Blue Tooth) system possible ?
n Answer: No. In this case you should use a standard KermaX® plus SDP where the connection
of a printer is possible.

n Question: Can an older Dose Area Product measuring device be upgraded ?

n Answer: Generally speaking, the upgrading of an older device is possible. To obtain a formal offer,
please get in touch with us so that we can confirm, whether or not, an upgrade is possible.

n Question: Must a new Dose Area Product measuring system be calibrated ?

n Answer: Please read the information on calibration procedures given on page 42.

Do you have further questions that are not covered here? Please get in touch with us!

Every measuring system from SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER is delivered with it`s own Factory Calibration
Certificate.

In order to keep the onsite workload for our sales partners as low as possible SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER
®
calibrates - wherever possible - the KermaX plus system individually in accordance with the requirements of the
planned installation on undercouch or overtable X-ray systems.

If SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER only receives the information "Installation on undercouch X-ray unit"
without information concerning the attenuation for the patient positioning table then a median attenuation factor
of 2 as a basis for the calibration will be used. The KermaX chamber will then be less sensitive by this factor. If
®
such a calibrated system should be re-installed on an overtable X-ray tube then the KermaX plus must be
recalibrated on site.

Should SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER receive no information concerning the onsite X-ray Unit then the
measuring system will be basically calibrated for installation on an overtable X-ray unit.

Having said this, SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER cannot always be aware of all the influences that must
be taken into account in any given situation (e. g. the permanent use of additional filters). As a result the
calibration must be verified after an installation in accordance with the user`s manual and under standard
working conditions and, if necessary, an onsite recalibration must be carried which will include the issuing
of a new calibration certificate.

Checking the calibration and re-calibration are described in full in the chapter "Recalibration" of the user`s
®
manual for the individual KermaX plus system.

Checking the calibration

Checking the calibration is a way of controlling the measurement accuracy to ensure that the allowed
tolerances are being adhered to. Should the permitted limits be exceeded, a new calibration must be
carried out and the customer informed accordingly. We recommend a check of the calibration in a period
of every 5 years.

®
Calibration of the KermaX plus system
The Technical Control of the Measurement Accuracy should always be carried out on site by an approved
service partner of SCANDITRONIX WELLHOEFER. For recalibration a special Calibration Tool is needed. *)
