Development of a Real-time Radiation Level Monitoring Sensor for Building an Underwater Radiation Monitoring System

Effect of a real-time radiation monitoring device on operator radiation exposure during cardiac catheterization: the radiation reduction during cardiac catheterization using real-time monitoring study.

BACKGROUND The Radiation Reduction During Cardiac Catheterization Using Real-Time Monitoring study sought to examine the effect of a radiation detection device that provides real-time operator dose reporting through auditory feedback (Bleeper Sv; Vertec Scientific Ltd; Berkshire, UK) on patient dose and operator exposure during cardiac catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS Between January 2012...

Radiation Effects on the On-line Monitoring System of a Hadrontherapy Center

Introduction Today, there is a growing interest in the use of hadrontherapy as an advanced radiotherapy technique. Hadrontherapy is considered a promising tool for cancer treatment, given its high radiobiological effectiveness and high accuracy of dose deposition due to the physical properties of hadrons. However, new radiation modalities of dose delivery and on-line beam monitoring play crucia...

Real-time skin dose Radiation Monitoring during Coronary Angiography

The collective dose of radiation used in medical investigations and procedures has increased by greater than 700% between 1980 and 2006 [1]. Consequently the use of ionizing radiation has developed into an important, yet potentially avoidable, public health threat [2] that deserves considerable attention. This is particularly the case in adult cardiology patients where coronary angiography repr...

Real-time Weather Monitoring Using Underwater Acoustics

Acoustic rain gauges have long been espoused as a possible means of monitoring wind and rainfall in regions far from land-based measurements. The rapid provision of data from such systems could contribute to weather forecasting. This paper provides an overview of a recent equipment trial off Galway, during which wind speeds in excess of 30m s -1 were encountered. The deployment also tested the ...
