A radiation dose at some specified depth in tissue relative to the dose at a fixed reference point on the radiation beam axis. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the maximum dose along the radiation beam axis.
Industry:Medical devices
Name that is to be used to designate a given location or group within the information management system.
Industry:Medical devices
. The maximum dose prescribed to a treatment site during a single calendar day.
Industry:Medical devices
Consists of a water- and air-cooling system, with air, water, and oil coolants.
Industry:Medical devices
A coordinated set of software and hardware logic elements that direct and safeguard the step-by-step operation of a system function.
Industry:Medical devices
A vacuum tube that produces X-rays. The tube includes an emitter, either a filament or cathode, which emits electrons and an anode to collect the electrons, thus establishing a flow of electrical current, known as the beam, through the tube. A high-voltage power source (e. G. , 60 kV to 150 kV) is connected across cathode and anode to accelerate the electrons. When the electrons strike the anode (X-ray target) they generate X-rays through the bremsstrahlung process. The resulting X-ray spectrum depends on the anode material and the accelerating voltage. Device that generates the X-ray beam. See also kV source.
Industry:Medical devices
Penetrating electromagnetic radiation whose wavelengths are shorter than those of visible light. In the Clinac, x-rays are produced by bombarding a metal target with fast electrons in a high vacuum. The term is translated as "Röntgenstrahlen" when discuss.
Industry:Medical devices
An X-ray (or Röntgen ray) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the range of 10 to 0. 01 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 PHz to 30 EHz. X-rays are primarily used for diagnostic radiography and crystallography. X-rays are a form of ionizing radiation and as such can be dangerous. In many languages it is called Röntgen radiation after one of the first investigators of the X-rays, Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen.
Industry:Medical devices
All of the hardware and software specifically designed for imaging activities including the MV detector, kV detector, and kV X-ray source; the three robotic arms (or positioning unit arms); the image acquisition and reconstruction subsystems; and the image calibration and image display applications. A complex component of the HET system that is used for image acquisition. Its computer hardware and firmware is referred to as the XI node.
Industry:Medical devices
Assembly placed in front of the kV image receptor consisting of alternating radiolucent and radiopaque lamella. It is designed to reduce the amount of X-ray scatter from the patient contributing to the signal measured by the kV image receptor.
