Film Dosimeters
The film badge is an established, accurate method for reporting dose. It is the product of choice for medical practices such as dental offices and veterinary clinics, as well as universities and hospitals that utilize X-rays. Dade Moeller provides Mirion film dosimeters which maintain accurate detection using state-of-the-art dose assessment methodology. Processed film is archived by Mirion and is accessible anytime for re-evaluation, or to document the radiological safety of your office.
Badges are slim and lightweight and can be worn on the body or extremities, or used for monitoring an area. The film packet is sealed to shield the sensitive material from light-induced exposure and is encased in a specially designed molded plastic holder. The multi-filter system is designed so that radiation will reach the exposed film after penetrating the five different filter areas: open window, aluminum, copper, lead/tin, and plastic. A complex algorithm is deployed to analyze the results of these filter areas and report dose. Film is read by the FAST system, the first Film Automated Scanning and Transport (FAST) System. The FAST system can read thousands of films per day with improved accuracy and precision over the manual process.
