For use with Accu-Gold, Accu-Pro, and Accu-Dose, the 10X6-3CT is a Computed Tomography Dose Index (CTDI) and DWP or DLP Chamber. Although designed specifically for CT X-ray beam measurements, either free-in-air or mounted in a head or body phantom, it can be used for DWP and DLP* applications such as Dental X-ray measurements because of the chamber’s excellent energy and partial volume response as well as uniformity along its entire 10 cm active length.

* The software produces a measurement in DLP units which is the product of the dose times the chamber length. This DLP unit should not be assumed to be a substitute for a full set of in-phantom measurements that are used to determine CTDIw or CTDIvol.
