RSNA: Fluke adds to x-ray QA line up

Fluke Biomedical (Booth 4665) is unveiling new additions to its x-ray maintenance, calibration and quality assurance (QA) tool platform at the 2009 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) conference in Chicago.

According to the Cleveland-based company, a new dosimeter is in the works for the wireless TNT 12000 x-ray test platform, as well as an integrated mA/mAs measurement capability.

The platform will have all-in-one detector, dosimeter, mA/mAs and handheld display or a user’s laptop interface, Fluke said.
