Dosimetry has come a long way since I was actively considered occupationally exposed, and even further from the times when very little was known about the effects of radiation on living tissue.

Safe and effective radiotherapy relies to a large extent on accurate dosimetry. Differences as small as 5 per cent from the prescribed radiation dose can change the outcome of treatment. Dosimetry ...

It’s called an Open Source IoT Dosimeter. It has a Geiger tube for detecting radiation levels along with Internet connectivity and a host of other goodies. Dubbed the KIT1, this IoT dosimeter ...

Dosimeters used to measure radiation at laboratories, hospitals and in the field must be calibrated against a national standard to ensure that measurement results are consistent with the International ...

Below you will find institutional and regulatory requirements, procedures, forms and other helpful resources. Radiation dosimeters monitor the exposure of members of the Saint Louis University ...

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific NetDose PRO digital dosimeter, a device designed to monitor ...

The EOS-08 satellite with the UV Dosimeter (Picture credit: Isro) The implementation of this technology is critical, as exposure to UV radiation can be extremely harmful to human tissues and ...

Space is full of radiation. Charged particles swarming interplanetary space mostly originate from the Sun with the occasional ...

Uses: electronic component evaluation. Accurate radiation exposure is assured by using aminotriphenylmethan / optichromic dosimetry (Far West Technology) and alanine/EPR (Bruker) dosimetry systems. A ...

The ionising effect of radiation is used in the Geiger-Muller (GM) tube as a means of detecting the radiation. The GM tube is a hollow cylinder filled with a gas at low pressure. The tube has a ...

The UAB Department of Radiation Oncology is an integral part of one of the nation's largest health systems. Nationally known for our compassionate care, cutting-edge research, and comprehensive ...
