Recently the real-time dosimetry system was installed at James Cook University Hospital’s radiology department.
This innovative solution combining the Link 2 Radsight Live System by Phoenix Dosimetry and RadFlash® EPD by Polimaster is designed to reduce the radiation dose of medical personnel during interventional radiology procedures and offers a cost-effective, user-friendly, and mobile unit that caters to the specific needs of interventional suites.
Professionals in interventional radiology constantly grapple with the delicate balance between delivering effective treatments and minimizing radiation exposure. Traditional monitoring systems often prove to be expensive, cumbersome, and lacking the flexibility required in dynamic healthcare environments.
Leveraging up to 6 RadFlash Electronic Personal Dosimeters from Polimaster, the system communicates seamlessly via Bluetooth to a Link 2 module, which in turn, connects to a high-definition display screen (HDi). This setup enables real-time dose monitoring, empowering healthcare professionals with immediate insights into their radiation exposure levels and alerts them via dose/dose rate alarms as required to manage their doses.
