A radiation exposure meter for technologists.
The need for Quality Assurance Programs has made it necessary for the technologist to have an accurate yet simple to use instrument for measuring radiation exposure. A unique commercial instrument is described that can help the technologist determine radiation output, half value layer, mAs reciprocity, and fluoroscopy exposure rates. The ability of the technologist to make these measurements will lead to reduction of repeat films and radiation exposure to the patient.
