Radiation Detection for the Medical Environment Radiation Detection for the Medical Environment Apfel Enterprises makes neutron monitoring devices that can be used to survey areas and check shielding effectiveness and to calibrate high-energy accelerators in hospitals. The products range from passive, pen-sized dosimeters to active survey meters.
Information is available on measuring neutrons in a medical environment .
The printed curriculum and 21 minute video contain basic information concerning radiation safety in the medical environment, including a section on radiation safety. It is insensitive to photons. It is intended for calibration of medical accelerators and other high-rate neutron measurements. The detector is photon insensitive, computer-interfaceable, and rugged.
