“…In the procedure of testing and measuring X-ray radiation, a survey meter is required to measure the level of radiation 1 exposure and provide data on measurement results in cacah per minute (CPM) or mR/hour [9] [10]. Each nuclear radiation gauge consists of two parts, namely detectors and supporting equipment.…”

X-ray radiation (ionization) cannot be felt directly by the five human senses. Therefore, radiation monitoring is needed, one of which by using a survey meter. The purpose of this research is to directly monitor the level of radiation exposure and leakage of X-ray tube containers in the work area. This was done to ensure the safety and health of workers in the radiation transmission area, so that it is in accordance with the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle, which is stipulated in the Decree of the Minister of Health RI No. 1250/Menkes/SK/XII/2009 concerning Guidelines for Quality Control of Radiodiagnostic Equipment as Standard Values for X-Ray Radiation Monitoring. This research is an experimental study with a survey meter equipment module design using a Geiger Muller sensor equipped with data storage. This module design method uses Arduino programming as data processing and is displayed on the CHARACTER LCD. Test analysis was carried out by comparing the measurement value of the module with the standard value as a standard for comparison. Based on the measurement results, the X-ray tube leak test value resulted in a standard AAT survey meter value of 0.001 both using a closed and unsupplied 2mm Pb circuit, namely 0.00097 mGy/hour and 0.00092 mGy/hour. Meanwhile, the results of the tube leakage test using a survey meter, both circuits, modules, and standard survey meters show a passing grade test value of < 1mGy/hour. In conclusion, the module design using the Geiger Muller sensor is feasible to use.

“…Thus as little as coming out of the BAPTETEN procedure, I will analyze what affects the effectiveness of the Scintillator sensor's performance in reading the tube voltage and time by looking at the effect of the irradiation distance. After this research is expected to be able to find out the ability of the Scintillator to measure the tube voltage and time against the irradiation distance [16]. In 2018 I. Shestakova, O. Philip, J. Wiedemann, and A. Headley, using PMT sensor had the advantage of data reception speed but the readings were still inaccurate [4].…”

The results of the output of the X-ray device are very important to know how much the correct value, whether it is in accordance with the arrangements made by radiology personnel or there is a difference even deviation of the value out of the arrangement. This conformity test activity needs a testing tool that is often used by BAPETEN personnel to find out how much the output value of KV, Time, Dose, Room leak, mA and mAs from an X-ray device unit. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of irradiation distance on tube voltage measurements and X-ray device time using Scintillators. The study used scintillator sensors to detect radiation, arduino as a programming source, bluetooth HC-05 as digital communication between hardware and PC, PC / Delphi as display. This research design is Pre-Experimental with After Only Design research type. Where the author takes data compared to standard tools then analyzes the data. The results showed the largest error at a distance of 120cm with a 90 KV setting of 43.52%. And the smallest error is at a distance of 120cm with a 50 KV setting of 0.07%.
