Abstract
A method is described for obtaining an accurate and precise value for radiation output of a radiation generator. Radiation is generated in the radiation generator, and the radiation output of the radiation generator is measured using a radiation monitoring device. An instantaneous inferred radiation output is determined from operating parameters of the radiation generator, and over a period of time a calibration factor between the measured and the instantaneous inferred radiation output is determined. The accurate and precise value for radiation output is determined from the instantaneous inferred radiation output and the determined calibration factor.
