Introduction A commercial X-ray unit was recently installed at the Medical University Vienna
for partial and whole body irradiation of small experimental animals. For 200 kV X-rays the
dose deviations with respect to the reference dose measured in the geometrical center of the
potential available field size was investigated for various experimental setup plates used for
mouse irradiations. Furthermore, the HVL was measured in mm Al and mm Cu at 200 kV for
two types of filtration. Material and Methods Three different setup constructions for small …
