Testers designed to manually and/or automatically verify the performance of equipment (i.e., quality assurance) used in radiographic diagnostic rooms. These testers can measure all or most of the parameters of a radiographic system, including kilovolt (kV), electric current, time, dose, dose rate, half-value layer (HVL), and total filtration; the results can be processed using dedicated software usually installed in a standard personal computer. The tester typically includes accessories such as current (milliampere), light, and low-dose probes. Dedicated radiographic quality assurance testers intended for use in diagnostic radiography, combined radiography/fluoroscopy, mammography, computed tomography, and dental radiography are also available.
