Experimental research on metrological performance evaluation of xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use

Abstract

This article studies the key technical parameters such as “short wavelength boundary,” “energy density,” “energy output uniformity,” and “pulse duration” of xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use, determines the measurement standard, and presents an applicable metrological performance evaluation method for the equipment. The evaluation procedure presented in this article has been performed on several typical types of xenon light source equipment for therapeutic use widely used in China, and the experimental results show that the evaluation method presented in this article is scientific and effective, and can be adopted for the periodic calibration of the equipment, in order to establish the metrological traceability system of the equipment.
