Which type of equipment is used to measure half-value layers?
A)sensitometer
B)aluminum filters
C)dosimetry equipment
D)more than one of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Half-value layer measurements involve determining the thickness of a material (typically aluminum for X-ray equipment) that reduces the intensity of the radiation beam by half. This requires both aluminum filters to attenuate the beam and dosimetry equipment to measure the radiation levels before and after attenuation.
