The instinctive reaction when measuring nuclear radiation is to think of a Geiger counter, as the low-pressure gas tube detectors have entered our popular culture through the Cold War. A G-M tube ...

X-rays are a common component of diagnostic testing and industrial monitoring, used for everything from monitoring your teeth to scanning your suitcase at the airport. But the high-energy rays also ...

Both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation can be harmful to both organisms and the natural environment. Radiation testers either measure the levels of Ionizing or non-ionizing radiation from Nuclear ...

Over the years we’ve featured quite a few radiatioactivity detectors, which usually include a Geiger-Muller tube, or perhaps a large-area photodiode. But in the event of radiation exposure from ...

It more commonly describes ionizing radiation, which ionizes contacted atoms by liberating electrons. Radiation detectors are used to sense and monitor this latter type. Ionizing radiation is released ...

The purpose of the detector is to detect and quantify the amount of radiation received. In older gamma systems, an ion chamber was typically used in density applications. Modern detectors use a ...

Philips announced that the FDA granted 510(k) clearance for its new detector-based spectral computed tomography (CT) ...

The Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD) M4A1 is a pocket-size, rugged, handheld detector that automatically detects, identifies, and alarms to chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial ...

Fine tuning an experimental setup improved a detector's sensitivity to neutrinos and perhaps eventually dark matter—two ...

After a PET scan, how long does a patient need to wait before using public transportation without setting off radiation detectors? » Does a patient need to restrict his or her activities after a ...

CNNC said the proposed applications were 'broad', as customers can use the chip to monitor radiation doses in various ...

Keep your family safe with these expert-tested detectors. Laboratory Technical Project Manager Gianmarco Chumbe has been part of the CNET Home team since 2018. He is in charge of developing and ...
