supports the establishment of best practices in clinical medical physics and helps achieve worldwide coherence in radiation dosimetry. The focus of the Section’s activities is on clinical medical ...

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 ...

RAD-60 Personal Alarm Dosimeter is a precise radiation measuring instrument for reliable detection and registration of radiation in order to ensure the personal safety of the user. It is suitable ...

Thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) and films badges are wearable devices that measure ionizing radiation exposure levels. These instruments are often worn by personnel near the torso as this ...

This process, whereby species evolve rapidly to exploit empty ecospace, is known as adaptive radiation. In his memoir, The Voyage of the Beagle, Darwin noted, almost as if in awe, "One might ...
