Are you still hanging onto your RaySafe 451P? If so, it may be time for an upgrade. Here are 5 reasons why you should take advantage of the new technology that the RaySafe 452 Radiation Survey Meter has to offer.

During COVID-19, many of us are trying to build new skills as we spend more time indoors. For this reason, we have put together some free online learning resources.

Watch this webinar covering the strengths and weaknesses of the various survey meter technologies and receive CEU credits.

Anders Fransson, Training & Product Specialist at RaySafe, held a webinar showing how the RaySafe X2 system simplifies mammography radiation measurements such as dose, HVL, and kV on all commercially available mammography machines.

How has X-ray imaging evolved?

Over the years, X-ray imaging technology has evolved intending to produce higher image quality, while minimizing patient and, in some cases, staff radiation dosage. 

We are doing a series of open letters from the RaySafe Research and Development, and Engineering teams because they have a slightly different perspective.

A flat energy response means that the survey meter does not give an under- or over-representation of the measured dose at certain energies.

ALARA is an familiar industry term every medical professional should know and practice. This brief blog post covers the basics of the ALARA principle, and how the RaySafe i3 Real-time dosimeter can help monitor radiation exposure.

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.

We recently launched the RaySafe 452 Survey Meter, a survey meter that is as versatile as our customers, allowing them to measure a variety of applications with a single device.

As touched upon in the previous post, interventional X-ray professionals have a number of tools and techniques at their disposal, which they can use to minimize their radiation dose. 

Minimally invasive image-guided diagnosis and treatment of disease has revolutionized healthcare and continues to grow rapidly.

Annual equipment checks to ensure fluoroscopy X-ray units are working correctly is one of the revisions by The Joint Commission elements of performance (Eps). Hospitals providing fluoroscopy services will need to adhere to this new, revised standard as of January 1, 2019.
 

We’ve found that many of us are facing similar issues and are asking questions. We put together a few of those questions and the answers to them from one of our product experts. Look for similar blogs in the future and be sure to send us your thoughts on issues.
 

When working with ionizing radiation or radioactive materials, it is a federal regulatory requirement that all reasonable efforts be made to maintain exposure to ionizing radiation as far below the dose limits as practical.  ALARA translates as

A new website established by Siemens Healthcare provides comprehensive, yet easy-to-understand, information about radiation in medical imaging.
