Dose Area Product Calibration

The following paragraphs explain how to use the Remote Utilities Tool to calculate the Dose Area Product (DAP). DAP
is a calculation of surface dose at a given distance from the X-ray tube multiplied by the surface area receiving the
dose. DAP is equal for all planes that are perpendicular to the beam axis.

Note: DAP is a measurement of radiation from the X-ray tube, and does not represent the radiation being absorbed
by the patient.

1. Remove MiniView rear cover, exposing VGA and keyboard connectors.

2. Connect the cable from the Service Monitor to the VGA port on the MiniView’s rear panel.
3. Connect the Service Monitor’s AC power plug to the nearest AC receptacle and turn on the monitor.
4. Plug the service keyboard into the keyboard connector on the MiniView rear panel.
5. Start the system and allow it to boot completely.
6. Use serial cable (00-901559) to connect the serial port on the laptop to the ARCNET connector (P4) on the
MiniView. Using your laptop open the Utility Suite.
7. Click on the VIEW pulldown menu and select RUT
8. Click on the CONNECT pulldown menu and select SYSTEM.
9. Click on the FILE pulldown menu, and select: OPEN, FROM SYSTEM, BOTH.

15. Select the NORM field and open the collimator iris completely so you cannot see the iris or leaves when you take
an X-ray. On the Service Keyboard, press Ctrl+Alt+M (all three keys at the same time).
16. Adjust the technique to 40 kVp, take an exposure and note the resulting µA.

Note: Allow the Dosimeter readings to stabilize for a few moments.

17. Divide 1000 by the µA noted in the previous step.

18. Read the dose rate on the Dosimeter and multiply that value by the result in the previous step.
19. Enter the calculated value, into the corresponding Dose Rate field.
For example, if 20 µA was read at 40 kVp and the Dosimeter reading was .15 mR/s:
0.15 mR/s x 1000/20 µA = 7.5 mR/s @ 1mA
20. Set the kV and mA to each of the following techniques and take an X-ray. Read the Dosimeter for each X-ray

50 kVp
60 kVp
70 kVp
80 kVp

blanking turned on).

Mag Size Field Diameter

NORM 5.0 – 5.2 inch diameter
MAG 3.4 – 3.6 inch diameter

2. When measuring the image diameters, no collimator edges should be seen inside of the circular blanking.

Note: If the image diameters are outside of the ranges listed above, adjustments to the image tube power supply are
required.

mark.
3. Verify that all other edges of the beam intersect the 2-inch ruler mark in the remaining X and Y coordinates within
0.1 inches.

Collimator Tube Mechanical Centering Adjustment

1. If the beam is not centered, loosen the collimator mounting nuts and position the collimator so the beam is
centered on the tool. Retighten the nuts.

Camera Decentration Verifcation

1. Select the NORM mode.
2. Rotate the CCD Camera to the full counter clockwise position.
3. X-ray through the beam alignment tool and mark the center of the alignment tool on the monitor with a small dot
using an erasable marker.

Camera Decentration Adjustment

1. Make an exposure in Auto mode. Ensure that the hole in the center of the cassette holder aligns with the center of
the beam alignment target. If not, adjust it.
2. Rotate the camera to each of four angles (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees) and place a felt-tip mark on the screen at
the center of the target for each angle.
3. Draw two lines intersecting the 4 marks made on the monitor, the point where the lines cross each other is the
rotational center of the camera.
4. Rotate the camera to the center of its rotational range.

CAUTION: Use the camera mounting ring to adjust the camera position, otherwise you may damage the camera
lens.

5. Loosen the three torx screws on the camera mounting ring that hold the camera to the Image Intensifier. Shift the
camera assembly position to center the bullseye on the felt-tip mark. Lightly re-tighten the screws and repeat this
step until the template’s bullseye is on the center mark.
6. Rotate the camera throughout its range and verify less than 0.05 inch movement about the center of the bullseye.
(Estimate the movement using the 0.1 inch ruler marks on the beam alignment template.) If necessary, rotate the
camera, re-mark the screen and readjust the camera mount.
7. Tighten all three camera mount screws and re-verify that the bullseye remains in one position on the screen as the
camera is rotated.
8. Adjustment of the camera centering relative to the circular mask will be corrected in Software Beam Alignment
section.
