HOW TO READ THE RADVIEW CT DOSIMETER

In the RADView™ CT dosimeter, calibrated dose threshold indicators surround the radiation sensitive film in the center of
each reference square. The color of each reference square is calibrated to the dose printed on that segment. The reference
indications are permanently printed on the badge and do not change, providing a constant reference value for each dose
level. If the sensitive film in the center is darker than the background of a square, the dose is greater than the number on
that segment (“dose is darker”).

PLACEMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Place RADView CT on the patient or the phantom inside the scan slice to en-sure entire Colorimetric scale is utilized. The
dosimeter should be positioned so that its long dimension is perpendicular to the axis of the scanner and the active area
of the dosimeter is close to the central part of the scanned field.
