SISTEM KENDALI PESAWAT SINAR-X SECARA WIRELESS BERBASIS ARDUINO DENGAN PARAMETER kV
Abstract
High voltage (kV) on X-ray machine is the voltage produced by High
Tension Tranformator (HTT) which will give the potential difference to the X-ray
tube. Regional general hospitals in Indonesia still uses X-ray machine using
rotary switch as kV selection. Radiographers will get the effects of radiation
because they are exposed to continuous radiation when they run the machine,
because they have to operate the machine directly. The many uses of cables in
analog systems are also still less efficient. Therefore, wireless X-ray controller is
designed to reduce radiation exposure to radiographers and reduce the use of
cables on X-ray machine. This research uses Personal Computer (PC) as a
platform to set parameter values, namely kV. Serial communication uses
Bluetooth HC-05, minimum system uses ATmega 328p IC and data processing on
PC uses Delphi application. Measurements on the device use a multimeter to
determine the input voltage for HTT. The measurement results from parameter 60
kV, 65 kV, 70 kV, 75 kV, dan 80 kV, the smallest correction value is 0.15 kV on the
75 kV parameter, and the biggest correction value is 1.66 kV on the 65 kV
parameter. The correction value is still within the tolerance value range of ± 1kV.
In the measurement of distance the farthest results obtained by 6 meters with a
barrier wall thickness of 9.5 cm
