Radiation Dosimetry

Radiation dosimetry is the science of measuring and calculating the amount of radiation absorbed by objects or people. It's crucial for protecting individuals who work with or are exposed to radiation in various settings, such as hospitals, nuclear power plants, or research facilities.

Dosimeters can measure radiation exposure in any of three general classifications: passive dosimeters, which require laboratory processing to ascertain the integrated radiation dose received after exposure, and active dosimeters, which provide real-time readings of radiation levels.

Thermo Scientific have developed electronic personal radiation dosimeters that offer immediate feedback on radiation exposure. These devices are particularly useful in medical settings where staff need to monitor their radiation exposure closely.

With options for passive, active, and real-time extremity radiation monitoring, healthcare professionals in fields like cardiology, pharmacy, nuclear medicine, and oncology can choose the most suitable dosimetry device for their specific needs, ensuring better protection and more accurate measurements during sensitive medical procedures.
