The X-ray device is a system that is widely used in the field of medical imaging and has great importance in diagnostic processes. However, due to long-term use, environmental conditions and wear on hardware components, changes in the sensitivity of the device may occur over time. X-ray device calibration is a critical process that must be done regularly to maintain image quality at the highest level and to ensure safe use. As Anod, we help healthcare institutions make the most accurate diagnoses by providing professional X-ray calibration services.
What is X-ray Device Calibration?
Calibration is the adjustment and testing processes performed to maintain the accuracy level of X-ray device components according to specified standards. The X-ray beams emitted by the device must be calibrated regularly to ensure that they are at the correct dose and optimum level.
The Importance of X-ray Device Calibration
Ensures precise diagnosis: An uncalibrated X-ray device can produce low-quality images and lead to incorrect diagnoses.
Increases patient safety: Incorrect dose settings can cause excessive radiation emission. This risk is minimized with calibration.
Extends device life: Regular maintenance and calibration procedures ensure that the device operates efficiently for a longer period of time.
Ensures compliance with legal and international standards: X-ray devices must comply with specific radiation safety standards. Calibration helps to meet these standards.
X-ray Device Calibration Process
Anode performs X-ray device calibration with a professional process. The following steps ensure that the calibration is carried out correctly:
Analysis of Current Device Performance
The radiation dosage produced by the X-ray device is measured.
The signal and contrast values during the imaging process are evaluated.
X-ray Tube and Detector Calibration
The X-ray tube output power and beam quality are tested.
The detector sensitivity and resolution levels are checked.
Adjusting the Radiation Dosage
The X-ray device is adjusted to the optimum dose level to ensure patient safety.
Precise adjustments are made to prevent excessive or insufficient radiation.
Mechanical and Electrical Checks
The electrical circuits, cables and cooling systems of the device are reviewed.
Mechanical movement systems and imaging panels are tested.
Performing Calibration Tests
Test shots are performed after calibration.
Image quality and accuracy levels are analyzed and approved.
Reporting and Documentation
The calibration processes performed are reported and the compliance of the device with the standards is documented.
A regular follow-up and maintenance plan is created for healthcare institutions.
How Often Should X-ray Device Calibration Be Performed?
At least once a year in routine use
Every 6 months for heavily used devices
After a new part replacement (for example, after an X-ray tube replacement)
When a significant decrease in image quality is noticed
