4.Applications
Dental Office: Over time, even low levels of ionizing radiation from X-Ray machines present
potential health hazards. Although dental technicians or hygienists may stand outside the
examination room during X-Rays administration, the risk of overexposure still exists and should
be monitored to ensure the health of your employees. RAYCAN RadTarge II can give your staff
real-time protection.
Veterinary Practice: Extra care is required in X-Raying animals, because human intervention is
needed. Therefore, the possibility of radiation exposure is higher than in other medical practices.
The best way to monitor radiation is with reliable, quality radiation monitoring service from
RAYCAN. Use RAYCAN RadTarge II to know the cumulative exposure levels of your employees to
ensure their safety.
Hospital: The multitudes of diagnostic equipment in the modern hospital environment have
varying levels of radiation exposure risks. For example, hospital staff in radiation oncology and
radiology departments need to accurately measure the dose of radiation they receive while
working near medical equipment containing radioisotopes, and to ensure that the radioactive
sources in the equipment are not leaking and emitting hazardous radiation levels. RAYCAN
RadTarge II ensures that you assess risk levels appropriately and that the proper dosimetry
monitoring is implemented in a cost-efficient manner.
Radiological Center: X-ray or diagnostic equipment in your office have varying levels of radiation
exposure risks. RAYCAN Dosimetry Solutions can ensure that you assess risk levels appropriately
and that the proper dosimetry monitoring is implemented in a cost-efficient manner.
High-energy Physics: High-energy nuclear physics and high-energy physics experiments (HPE)
frequently require scintillator detectors that are immune to both static and changing magnetic
fields. In most cases, this precludes the use of photomultiplier tubes. RAYCAN RadTarge II
provides the required immunity to magnetic disturbances, plus the extremely high photon
sensitivity and speed required to capture the decay-chain characteristics of nuclear
disintegrations and high-energy particle collisions.
