title: Improved calibrations using personal computers.
abstract: There are a variety of commercial devices available for the non-invasive verification of x-ray unit calibration. This article describes the use of custom-developed IBM PC compatible software in conjunction with a commercial unit to produce clearer and more meaningful graphical representation of linearity, kilovoltage and timer accuracy. The authors also detail how a personal computer can aid service personnel in the resolution of calibration problems.
