SENSOR by Fluke Electronics Corp (Biomedical Div.)
Product Overview
Key highlights
The SENSOR by Fluke Electronics Corp features advanced stacked sensor technology, ensuring accurate measurements by minimizing heel effects. Its compact design allows for easy positioning and compatibility across various radiographic and fluoroscopic applications, including dental and CT machines, while measuring essential radiological parameters in a single exposure. The X2 R/F sensor, with its advanced stacked sensor technology, prevents the influences of heel effects on the measurements. And its small radiological footprint minimizes the influence on the automatic exposure control of the X ray machine. Both make it easier to position the sensor and obtain the most accurate reading.The X2 R/F sensor can be used on all R/F applications without the need to select ranges or modes. It is capable of measuring all radiological parameters such as dose, dose rate, kVp, HVL, total filtration, exposure time, pulses, pulse rate and dose/pulse – in one exposure. Waveforms of kV and dose rate can be analyzed directly on the base unit. The X2 R/F sensor can be used on radiographic and fluoroscopic machines as well as dental machines and measures kVp and HVL on CT machines.
