כל מערכות הרנטגן הרפואיות בישראל נדרשות החל משנת 2011 לכלול מונה קרינה, המודד את כמות הקרינה המוקרנת אל הנבדק. חברת דינקו מייבאת ומתקינה את מערכות ה-DAP של חברת VacuTEC הגרמנית - היצרנית המובילה בעולם של מערכות אלו.

The Measuring System

The modular VacuDAP dose-/dose area product measuring system offers various ionization chambers and configurations for almost all medical diagnostic X-ray equipment in radiography, radioscopy, dental application or whole body scanners. All complete systems have a serial interface RS 232 on the display unit for connecting a printer or transmitting data to a workstation or RIS.

The VacuDAP Systems are used for simultaneous DAP (dose area product) and DAP rate measurements according to IEC 60580.

The VacuDAP duo systems additionally determine reference air kerma and reference air kerma rate in accordance to the standards IEC 60 601-2-54, IEC 60 601-2-43 and 21 CFR 1020.32.

Measuring chambers

All measuring chambers provide a serial interface RS 485 to transfer measuring data and to receive control commands by means of an ASCII protocol. Optionally the system is available with Bluetooth® wireless technology.

The measuring chambers can be completed with several display units to many different stand alone systems to match all X-ray systems and official requirements.

Chamber resolution of 0.01 μGy·m2 for DAP enables them for use in pediatrics.

All rectangular chambers are available with an active area of 123 mm x 123 mm or 147 mm x 147 mm. They are adaptable to all common X-ray collimators by means of different rails.

The circular chambers are designed and the calibration is set to meet the specifications of the C-arm X-ray machines.
