The RTI-sponsored Webinar Wednesday session “Revolutionizing X-ray Meter Technology: Mako – A Meter and a Milestone” was a popular choice for HTM professionals. Eligible for 1 credit from the ACI, the webinar provided great insights along with credit toward certification.
Since its groundbreaking inception in 1982, when RTI unleashed the world’s inaugural non-invasive kV and dose meter, advancements in detector design have improved, shrinking in size, while becoming faster and more precise. Despite these advancements, the overarching design principles governing non-invasive kV and dose meters had steadfastly clung to tradition for a staggering four decades – until now. At RSNA 2023, RTI unleashed the Mako – a seismic shift in X-ray meter design. RTI once again propels the boundaries of innovation, setting the stage for a new era in the realm of X-ray meter technology!
RTI’s Erik Wikström explained the hardware structure of the next generation X-ray meter and how software contributes to the shift into a new era for HTM professionals, physicists and QA regulatory teams.
As Webinar Wednesday continues to celebrate a decade of delivering educational sessions to the HTM community a pair of Apple Airpods were given away! Ryan Barrie, BMET II, with TRIMEDX was the lucky attendee who won the Airpods.
After the webinar, attendees were asked “How did today’s webinar meet your expectations?”
“This was my first webinar, and it was a lot more information than I realized, but it wasn’t overwhelming. I was interested and engaged, and I found myself pondering about it even after it ended,” said Lula Deng, student, MSCS.
“It is simple and much more graphic than text, which is how I like it. Highlighting the most important features and new capabilities that physicists are curious about and want to hear about, Erik was extremely clear. Excellent,” said Areej Aljabal, medical physics resident, UT Southwestern Medical Center.
“It was interesting to see how much the technology has changed in metering. The wireless capture makes it much safer for the technician and the meter,” shared Brian Snyder, BS, CBET, BMET III, Franciscan Health East.
