One Shot HVL for Mammography
07 May 12 One shot HVL for mammography is now available to all new Piranhas of version 2 or higher.
One shot HVL is possible both if you are using Ocean or QA Browser, with or without compression paddle.
All Piranhas (version 2 or higher), which are in for re-calibration, will get the one shot HVL feature. -

MAS-3 Probe
The Most Sensitive Non-invasive mA/mAs Probe
The MAS-3 is the most sensitive non-invasive mA/mAs probe from RTI Electronics. It is an ideal choice for occasions where an invasive device cannot be used. It covers the whole mA/mAs range without compromising on accuracy – and it’s easy to use.
Used with either the Piranha or Barracuda, the MAS-3 provides a non-invasive way to measure mA and mAs even on the lowest mA stations for a fluoroscopy X-ray system. Together with the measured values, the mA waveform is sampled and can be analyzed directly via the Palm QABrowser or with the RTI PC Ocean software. The compact design with built in rechargeable batteries makes MAS-3 easy to use. The probe is ready for measurements by threading the high voltage cable through the probe and simply connecting the MAS-3 to the Piranha or Barracuda.
The product is supplied with calibration certificate from our accredited (ISO 17025) cal lab. It provides third-party assurance that RTI has the quality management system to ensure all of our calibrations are consistently of the highest quality.
MAS-3 Probe with Piranha
The MAS-3 Probe supports the Piranha ADI (automatic detector identification) system. When connected, the Piranha automatically identifies the probe and makes all necessary adjustments without any need for interaction from the user. The Piranha ADI system also gives full interchangeability of probes between different Piranha systems using the same type of probes.
MAS-3 Probe with Barracuda
To use the MAS-3 Probe with the Barracuda, the Barracuda must have an electrometer module (recommended model is EMM-BiasW).
The Barracuda MAS-3 probe can be used with the extension cable, EXT-1.
