TO HVL Filters
The TO HVL (Half Value Layer) filter sets, when used with the TO HVL filter stand, provide a means for medical physicists or radiographers to test the half value layer of their x-ray system. The half value layer is a crucial parameter in assessing the penetrating ability of an x-ray beam.
The HVL is defined as the thickness of a specified material that reduces the intensity of the x-ray beam to half of its initial value. Measuring the HVL is important for quality assurance in radiography, ensuring that the x-ray system is delivering the expected radiation dose and that the beam characteristics comply with regulatory standards.
The TO HVL filter sets, along with the filter stand, likely offer a standardized and controlled method for performing HVL measurements, allowing for the assessment and verification of the x-ray system's performance in terms of beam penetration and quality.
