AEC Sensors
The Automatic Exposure Control sensors measure the dose rate of X-rays by conversion of X-ray photon energy to an electrical current or signal intended for AEC that is proportional to the X-ray dose or dose rate.
The AEC sensors are intended to be used in diagnostic X-ray procedures as accessories of an X-ray system in a professional healthcare facility environment, for measuring the X-ray dose or dose rate, as an input to the AEC system in the X-ray generator to limit exposure. This helps reduce the amount of unnecessary radiation exposure to the patient and prevents retakes due to underexposure or overexposure of the image.
