Wellhöfer
Compact Ionization Chamber
Wellhöfer compact ionization chambers are designed for scanning applications in computerized water phantom systems. They feature high spatial resolution and a Shonka air-equivalent C552 thimble & electrode. Venting is accomplished through the waterproofing sheath and the chamber connector.
Although these ion chambers can be safely inserted and used in water, it is a matter of good practice to limit the immersion time to the actual duration of measurements. The chambers should be removed from water, dried and stored shortly after completion of the scanning studies.
