I have read that the RaySafe 452 Radiation Survey Meter has a flat energy response and does not require correction factors. What does “a flat energy response” mean?

ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) regulatory guidelines were initially developed to protect workers from unnecessary exposure to nuclear radiation. Any medical professional who works with ionizing radiation should be familiar with the acronym ALARA.

Personal protection equipment (PPE) has been available for years to help protect medical professionals against ionizing radiation. Most of the time, it consists of heavy protection garments and shields.

Personal radiation safety is paramount within interventional X-ray. Every activity should be planned to minimize unnecessary radiation exposure, as physicians and other staff members are in the room with the patient and run the risk of continued exposure to radiation.

In engineering we are always looking towards the future and what new product we can create to help our customers. We don’t often take time to stop and appreciate what we’ve accomplished or the team that made it happen. First, the team is the heart of every project.

This blog discusses how interventional X-ray professionals use a variety of tools and techniques to minimize their radiation dose. Real-time Staff Dosimetry (RTSD) is a tool that measures exposure every second and visualizes information on a central display allowing users to get actionable quantitative information.
