Introduction to Radiation Safety and Monitoring

Journal of the American College of Radiology, 2011
Ionizing radiation is used in diagnostic imaging, external-beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy, and nuclear medicine to diagnose and treat a number of common conditions. To ensure the safety of patients, providers, and surrounding staff members, it is important that the health care community become familiar with the terminology, common equipment, and

A Pocket Radiation Monitor

The British Journal of Radiology, 1964
It has been appreciated for some time, that there is a need for a device which can warn radium ward nursing staff when they are in a relatively high radiation field. Such a monitor, giving an audible warning in the form of a series of clicks, was described by Watson (1960).

Radiation Monitoring for the Masses

Health Physics, 2016
In response to the Fukushima-Daiichi incident, many commercial vendors have produced applications and equipment targeted at the average member of the public in order to enable them to make radiation measurements themselves at little to no cost. The authors have evaluated a small selection of these items in order to validate their performance when ...

Biological monitoring of radiation exposure

Advances in Space Research, 1998
Complementary to physical dosimetry, biological dosimetry systems have been developed and applied which weight the different components of environmental radiation according to their biological efficacy. They generally give a record of the accumulated exposure of individuals with high sensitivity and specificity for the toxic agent under consideration ...

The race for new radiation monitors

Nature Materials, 2008
New dosimeters are needed to measure radiation up to extreme levels created by particle accelerators and nuclear fusion reactors. The time to develop these dosimeters is now.

A radiation monitor

Nuclear Instruments and Methods, 1969
Abstract The paper describes a simple radiation monitor with an extremely linear ratemeter and covering a wide range of counting rates. The input circuit is very sensitive and can operate from 100 mV pulses.

Radiation monitor with adjustable alarm

Physics in Medicine & Biology, 1969
This device was designed to operate in treatment areas of a large radiotherapy centre. In the event of a mechanical or electrical failure an alarm is given if the radiation beam of the unit remains on after the entrance door to the treatment unit has been opened.

Improvements in Radiation Monitoring Trending

Health Physics, 2017
Abstract One of the main goals for Radiation Safety Professionals is to help maintain radiation worker doses below administrative control levels. In the radiation safety field there is an increasing recognition of the value of dosimetry-related data that can be used to enhance safety programs and regulatory compliance.
