Automatic Exposure Controls For X-Ray Generators.

Claymount/AID is the premier manufacturer of ionisation chambers for medical x-ray applications and supplied by Wolverson X-Ray in partnership with Claymount. Since 1969 AID has been designing and manufacturing components for medical x-ray systems. Today, Claymount/AID ionisation chambers are recognized world-wide for their quality, reliability, and value.

Ionisation chambers are used with digital imaging systems (DR or CR) as well as standard film systems. Ionisation chambers are the sensors used in Automatic Exposure Control (AEC) systems for x-ray generators. AEC systems provide proper, reproducible film densities by automatically compensating for variables such as patient size, anatomy, pathology and positioning.

The resulting improvements in radiograph quality and consistency help to :

  • Produce consistent radiographs on all shifts, with all operators;
  • Reduce re-takes and thereby minimise radiation exposure for patient and operator while saving operator time and film expense; and,
  • Eliminate the need for charts and estimates of manual techniques.

Claymount/AID has hundreds of ionisation chamber models to choose from. Also, we can provide you with an ionisation chamber custom-built to exactly fit your application.

We supply a wide variety of ionisation chamber models including:

  • Models for both digital and film systems.
  • Models with thicknesses ranging from a standard 10.2 mm to as thin as 3.3 mm.
  • Attached, remote, or removable pre-amplifiers.
  • 3-field, 4-field, 5-field, or spot film.
  • A rugged exit-type paddle for mobile x-ray generators.
  • Solid-state detector for mammography systems.

All  ionisation chamber pre-amplifiers have individual gain controls and most have a master gain control to permit precise calibration for matching the individual detector fields and for matching multiple chambers on one system.
