, Describe radiation reproducibility For any combination of operating loading factors,
the coefficient of variation of any 10 consecutive
irradiation measurements at same SID within one
hour is not greater than 0.05 and each of the ten
measurements is 15% of the mean value of the ten
measurements
Describe radiation output linearity For any preselected tube voltage the quotient of
the average air karma measurement divided by the
current time product obtained at two applicable
settings must not differ by more than 0.10 times
their sum
Explain linearity in radiography Is the production of a constant amount of radiation
for different combinations of millliamperage and
exposure time, sequential increases in mAs shoudl
produce the same sequential increase in the
exposure measured
What is minimum irradiation time The controlling timer or AEC control device must
capability have a minimum irradiation time capability of 1/60s
or the time required to deliver a current time
produce of 5 mAs which ever is greater
Describe kVp accuracy The loading facotrs must not deviate from the
selected value, for any combination of loading
factors by more than 10% X-ray tube voltage
What is the test done for kVp Dosimeter, three exposures at same kVp values,
accuracy take the average of the three exposures and
determine if the are in the acceptable range
Avaerage kVp - set kVp / set kVp x 100
