Introduction
10 and 100 cm
2
Leakage and Scatter detector in one
The RTI Scatter Probe is a rugged, flat solid-state detector for leakage and scatter detection in x-ray environments. The unique
design with two separate detector areas of 10 cm
2
and 100 cm
2
makes no trade-off in fulfilling current regulations and
standards for x-ray leakage and scatter measurements.
The RTI Scatter Probe connects via USB cable to the Ocean software for reading and reporting.
Reliable Dosimetry
For barrier, leakage and scatter measurements various industry standards apply. Examples of such standards are 21 CFR
1020.30 to 21 CFR 1020.39, IEC 60601-2-3, IEC 60601-2-54, and IEC 60601-1-3. There are several more standards for various
modalities. Common for all these standards is that the measurement has to be made covering an area of 10 or 100 cm
2
at a
certain distance. The 10 cm
2
or the 100 cm
2
detector area of the RTI Scatter Probe ensures full compliance with these
standards.
It does not matter if your scatter and leakage application requires measurements at a short distance, long distance, in a fix
position or sweeping. With a click you select to use the 10 cm
2
or the 100 cm
2
area for your measurement.
Easy Positioning
Regardless if holding the probe by hand, if it stands on a table or mounting it on a tripod, the positioning is quick and simple.
The included mini-tripod makes the hand-held use simple. Just flip out the feet on the mini-tripod and you have a vertical
positioning. The design with anti-slip surface allows safe positioning facing upwards without sliding. With the standard camera
tripod thread, the RTI Scatter Probe can be mounted to any tripod or jig.
