The Glowboard measures the alignment between the x-ray field and the light field utilizing rare-earth phosphors that glow green while exposed to radiation. Misalignment of the light field will clearly be shown down to 0.1 inch on the built in lead-free radiopaque scales.
NAPLES, Fla., June 26, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Developed in collaboration with members of the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control, the Glowboard Scintillator Alignment Tool meets standards for testing and measuring the fluoro beam size to identify whether it is within applicable tolerances.
The Glowboard measures the alignment between the x-ray field and the light field utilizing rare-earth phosphors that glow green while exposed to radiation. Misalignment of the light field will clearly be shown down to 0.1 inch on the built in lead-free radiopaque scales.
The MilTouch Solutions LLC Glowboard Scintillator Alignment Tool assists the user to ensure their equipment meets international regulations which recommend that the radiation and light field should be aligned within 2% of the Source-to-Image distance (SID). The Glowboard has been designed to meet the needs for real-time checks of the light and radiation field alignment on radiographic x-ray equipment.
MilTouch Solutions LLC President Lauren Zimmer explains, "The Glowboard fluoresces green when it is being irradiated. As a result, when viewing the irradiated Glowboard the technician can see where the radiation coming from the x-ray machine is hitting the board. The x-ray visible scale utilizes MilTouch Solutions' proprietary lead-free coating. This provides a radiopaque reference to the technician when comparing the area visible on x-ray versus what is glowing on the Glowboard."
