Film and Phospor Plate Testing

Q.Can anyone provide advice regarding film testing and/or phosphor plate testing for OPG/3d scanner?  We have recently had one installed and are under the impression we need to do a step wedge test.  I would welcome help with this as to what others do, and use and where you obtain the test equipment from.

A. We purchased the stepped wedge test from our supplier below.  We find them very helpful with any queries we may have also.  Hope this helps.

A.This is an issue which you need discuss with your RPA and record the RPA's advice in your Radiation Protection file.  These things all need to be formalised.
