INFO
Personal radiation monitoring dosimeters are badges that detect various forms of radiation a worker may be exposed to. The dosimeter or badge detects the exposure of a person to X-rays, gamma radiation, neutron and beta particles. Workers are required to wear the dosimeters for periods of up to three months. The accumulated dose from the various types of radiation is measured and reported to the employer. The employer should monitor the accumulated dose to ensure that the employee's work practices result in exposures well below 20 millisieverts (mSv) effective dose per year.
Personal monitoring dosimeter must be issued to persons working with the following uses of radiation:
1. Radiotherapy
2. Diagnostic or interventional radiology
3. Nuclear Medicine
4. Industrial radiography
5. Veterinary radiography
6. Engineer/ Technician servicing of ionizing radiation equipment or devices containing radioactive substances.
Dose Verification for: Radiotherapy and Diagnostic Radiology Patients
How do we work
What is OSL?
Optically Stimulated Luminescence or OSL is the most advanced technology developed by Landauer, Inc. for measuring radiation exposure. Compared to thermolumiscence dosimeters (TLDs), which are heated to determine the radiation exposure, OSL dosimeters are exposed to a light source to obtain the amount of radiation absorbed by the dosimeter. OSL Dosimetry utilizes the detector material Carbon doped Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3:C) crystals produced by Landauer Inc.
What are the advantages of OSL dosimeters over TLD?
Since OSL is the most advanced technology in radiation monitoring, it offers several advantages such as fast dose assessment, dosimeter archiving, non-destructive readouts, high degree of environmental stability and much more.After receiving the used OSL dosimeters from your facility, we will provide your dose reports with 3 weeks. The reports can be delivered through mail or email.
Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) service
Quality assurance (QA) programs play a fundamental role in establishing and maintaining systems to support high quality healthcare. A good system of radiological quality assurance (QA) should aim to do more good than harm and should have?in place quality measures that maximize the net benefit for patients by ensuring high quality patient care.
Why Quality Assurance?
1. Improve Clinical result / image quality
2. Preempt quality or safety problems
3. Maintain standard of care.
4. Minimize patient radiation dose
5. Enhanced equipment life.
