RSNA: Radcal, VacuTec partner for dose area product meter release

Radcal (booth 3705) is partnering with Dresden, Germany-based VacuTec to release the Dose Area Product (DAP) meters, VacuDAP, in North America. The Monrovia, Calif.-based manufacturer is displaying the product at the 97th Annual Meeting & Scientific Assembly of the RSNA, Nov. 27 to Dec. 2, in Chicago.

DAP meters are used for patient dose measurements without affecting routine operation, according to Radcal.

To comply with FDA regulations for fluoroscopic equipment, Radcal will offer the Air Kerma meter, VacuDAP Duo, which allows for measurement of air kerma and DPA simultaneously.
