Radiation probe for indirect evaluation of the high-voltage waveform of a Mo anode mammography unit.
A radiation probe was designed for indirectly determining the high voltage of a Mo anode mammography unit. The real time processing of the probe outputs yields exposure time, voltage waveform, kVp, and ripple in the range 24-40 kVp useful for screen-film mammography. The probe, connected to a portable computer, will be employed in a survey of radiation dose and image quality in mammography as part of an ongoing program in Italy.
