Ways to reduce radiation exposure

For many healthcare professionals, radiation exposure is inevitable, due to the job demands. This exposure can not only increase the risk for several types of cancers and diseases, but may also result in other serious issues. RaySafe has done the research and created a solution to help you monitor and manage your radiation dose. However, the i3 Real-time dosimeter only does half the work – enabling you to see live dose rate, and changes, immediately. It’s ultimately up to you to reduce your vulnerability.

Top workflow modifications for reducing exposure include, but are not limited to:

Minimizing radiation exposure time.
Maximizing distance from the radiation source.
Using lead aprons, radiation glasses, and other equipment to absorb radiation.

Why does real-time dosimetry matter?

There are several types of dosimetry, including dosimeters that monitor exposure and products that provide exposure data in real-time. Dosimeters that monitor exposure collect data over a period, often a month, for delayed data reading and analyzing. Individuals are notified about their exposure level and action is taken if the exposure exceeds legal limits. Real-time dosimetry, such as RaySafe i3, visualizes the effect of radiation protection during procedures, letting the users know if they should…
