Extension of the range of definition of the practical peak voltage up to 300 kV

Extension of the range of definition of the practical peak voltage up to 300 kV

The practical peak voltage (PPV) was introduced with special emphasis being placed on the X-ray tube voltage range pertinent to diagnostic radiology, i.e. from 20 kV to 150 kV. In this paper, an extension of the range of definition of the PPV up to X-ray tube voltages of 300 kV is presented. This is...

Zusammenfassung:The practical peak voltage (PPV) was introduced with special emphasis being placed on the X-ray tube voltage range pertinent to diagnostic radiology, i.e. from 20 kV to 150 kV. In this paper, an extension of the range of definition of the PPV up to X-ray tube voltages of 300 kV is presented. This is realized by combining the weighting function derived for the field of diagnostic radiology with a newly derived one that covers the voltage range from 150 kV to 300 kV.
