Pediatric Filter

Pediatric Filter Pediatric X-ray filters are intended for use during pediatric examinations in diagnostic radiology to reduce dose. Fit into the rails of the collimator head. Transparent, plumbiferous 2.4mm or 4.3mm thick. The filters are specified at 70 kV with a quality equivalent filtration of 1.0 Al + 0.1 Cu (thickness 2.4 mm) or 1.0 Al + 0.2 Cu (thickness 4.3 mm). This quality equivalent filtration rises with rising beam voltage. At 125 kV it is 1 Al + 0.15 Cu ( 1.0 Al + 0.25 Cu resp.).
