Features
- Slide into the rails of the X-ray collimators
- Two filter types with different beam hardening values at 70 kV are available:
- 1.0 mm Al + 0.1 mm Cu (2.4 mm thickness) or 1.0 mm Al + 0.2 mm Cu (4.3 mm thickness)
The radiation risks for children are much higher than those for adults. Radiation protection procedures in pediatric radiology are mandatory. Additional X-ray filters should be used to reduce patient exposure. The plumbifer-ous acrylic filters are inserted into the collimator guide rails of radiographic and fluoroscopic X-ray installations. They are transparent and do not interfere with standard routine work. Of course, the filters can also be used to reduce the radiation load given to adults during X-ray procedures.
Parts
Quite a number of different filters for X-ray collimators from various manufacturers such as GE Medical Systems, Siemens, Philips, Marconi (Picker) and Comet are available. Both filter types can also be manufactured according to user-defined dimensions. Details are available upon request.
