DIAMENTOR RS-KDK

The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK is a measuring system which fully complies with IEC / EN 60580. The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK features the innovative chamber-in-chamber technology, which PTW invented many years ago. It allows to measure the dose, dose rate as well as the dose area product and dose area product rate simultaneously during radiographic and fluoroscopic X-ray procedures. The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK consists of an ionization chamber with integrated electronics (dimensions in total 182,5 mm x 163,2 mm x 17,4 mm). Thus, the DIAMENTOR RS-KDK can be used as a built-in DAP solution for fixation under the X-ray tube housing or transparent for light it can be firmly fixed to the collimator by adaptation rails. The chamber structures are not shown on the X-ray images. The system is available with an RS232 or RS485 interface. Alternatively, the DIAMENTOR BT Interface can be connected to the DIAMENTOR RS-KDK for wireless data transfer via Bluetooth. The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK can either be connected to a PC to read out the values or it can used in combination with the DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit.

Which DIAMENTOR system combination is best for your application?

Choose your optional devices in addition to the standard configuation.
Add a DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit and/or a DIAMENTOR BT interface. Connect an additional DIAMENTOR RS-KDK for biplane modalities.

DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit

The DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit features a touch display to which up to two DIAMENTOR RS-KDK, version RS485, can be connected – ideal for usage at biplane systems. The measuring values are read out via RS232 or RS485. The display unit can be fixed arbitrary, e.g. close to the X-ray modality to provide a clear indication of patient exposure during radiological examinations. For maximum flexibility the DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit allows to control the DIAMENTOR RS-KDK with and without PC support.

DIAMENTOR BT interface

The DIAMENTOR BT interface can be connected to the
DIAMENTOR RS-KDK system for wireless data transfer via Bluetooth®. It replaces the cable between the DIAMENTOR RS-KDK and the PC, enabling fast, convenient installation by removing the extension cables.

DIAMENTOR® RS-KDK

The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK is a combined dose area product and dose meter, integrating the electronics within the ionization chamber housing (dimensions 183.2 x 163.2 x 17.4 mm³).
As it is transparent, it can be conveniently used as a built-in solution either mounted directly under the X-ray tube housing or on the collimator.

The system fully complies with EN 60580, featuring the innovative technology which PTW invented many years ago. It allows to measure dose/dose rate as well as dose area product/dose area product rate simultaneously to document patient exposure during radiographic and fluoroscopic X-ray examinations. The DIAMENTOR RS-KDK can either be controlled via PC support (interface RS232 or 485) or it can be used in combination with the DIAMENTOR RS-D display unit for control and direct result indication.
