Reproducibility and Correlation of X-Ray Meters for Monitoring Scatter Radiation During Fluoroscopic Procedures
These data suggest that the tested meters studied can be used to measure scatter radiation in a low-energy, pulsed fluoroscopy environment, typical of clinical imaging. Using solid-state detectors, care should be taken to avoid angulation away from the source. In addition, the modest differences in the magnitude of the measurement with each type of meter, relative to an ion chamber, should be taken into account.
