Results for tag: "Active Dosimeter"

Active electronic dosimeters are devices used within the medical field to monitor and measure the dose of radiation exposure in real-time. These dosimeters are particularly important for healthcare workers and patients who are regularly exposed to ionizing radiation in medical facilities, such as in radiology or oncology departments. The market for these devices is driven by technological advancements, increased awareness of safety standards, and regulatory requirements for occupational safety. Key features often include the ability to provide instant feedback, record accumulated dosage over time, and sound alarms when exposure levels exceed predetermined thresholds. The use of such devices helps in maintaining the "As Low As Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA) principle for radiation exposure, which is key in medical settings to protect both patients and staff. These dosimeters may also interface with systems to manage and record exposure data for healthcare personnel. Several companies are at the forefront of the active dosimeter market within the medical devices sector. Prominent examples include Mirion Technologies, Landauer (a division of Fortive), Thermo Fisher Scientific, Ludlum Measurements, and Tracerco (part of the Johnson Matthey Group). These companies offer a range of products and services designed to meet the varying needs of the healthcare industry for radiation monitoring and safety. Show Less Read more
