Bringing the Latest Technology toYour Therapy Department

This system provides the user with various exposure ranges, quick response time, reliability and the accessories necessary for today’s Radiation Therapy Department. The 292 Therarad ® may be used for general radiation field measurements; transfer of calibration; calibration and/or confirmation of monitor unit or timer and storage scope for monitoring of output beam stability.

High Accuracy and Extreme Sensitivity
The 292 Therarad ® will provide direct accurate readout of exposure or exposure rate for probes as small as 0.01 ml. Due to its sensitivity and stability, the 292 Therarad ® can be useful as aCurrent-Meter and/or Charge-Meter.

Simple to Use
With its built-in flexibility and superior performance, the 292 will please any user. It is ideal for research applications. The software is designed to allow the use of an optional CRC ® chamber for Brachytherapy. The design is based on many years of experience in building the top rated family of CRC ® Dose Calibrators and Digital Exposure/Exposure Rate Meters.

Features
