Dose Rate Measurements

Typical dose measurements obtained during the acceptance test at installation time are depicted below. The total charge after 360 seconds was repeatable within 1%.

Verifying collimator output factors: Output factors were obtained with average readings using MOSFET diode at the center of the acrylic phantom. The output factors for 18 mm, 14 mm and 8 mm were also measured with the ion chamber as indicated.
