Measuring individual radioactive decays enables faster detection method for nuclear applications
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new and faster method for detecting and measuring the radioactivity of minuscule amounts of radioactive ...
Radiation, used to treat half of all cancer patients, can be measured during treatment for the first time with precise 3D imaging developed at the University of Michigan. By capturing and amplifying ...
The National Quality Forum has announced its board of directors has endorsed a new safety measure focused addressing radiation dosing in computed tomography, according to an NQF news release. The ...
Accident dosimetry and radiation measurement techniques form a critical subset of radiation monitoring, enabling the reconstruction of absorbed doses following unplanned radiological events. These ...
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA AND CLEVELAND, OHIO. YOU MAY HAVE SEEN A HELICOPTER FLYING LOW OVER DOWNTOWN MILWAUKEE. IT’S SCANNING FOR RADIATION IN THE EVENT OF A NUCLEAR EMERGENCY. NEXT WEEK. 12 NEWS ...
Radiation with enough energy to cause changes at the atomic level is called ionizing radiation. It can damage cells, so it is important to measure its potential health effects – but how? Units ...
