Photon dosimeters are used for measuring radiation doses to protect people from the harmful effects of ionising radiation. However, the recent update of the basic standard for photon reference radiation fields in radiation protection, ISO 4037:2019, has presented significant challenges to calibration laboratories and industry, such as high costs and increased need for manpower. This […]
X-ray imaging is an important technique used in medicine however it’s use forms the largest component of exposure to artificial ionizing radiation. Consistent quantification of a patient’s exposure to radiation with calibrated dosimetry equipment is essential to comply with Council Directive and ensure patient safety. Currently, the procedures used by calibration laboratories, based on relevant
The EU-funded RADOV project aims to use high-energy radiation from electron accelerators to produce bioactive peptides derived from egg proteins. Using electron beam irradiation, it will design and develop two new products containing bioactive proteins/peptides. This will be done to broaden the applications of ionizing radiation and to demonstrate the wide range of its uses.
