October 26, 2007 - Global Dosimetry Solutions Inc., a division of Mirion Technologies, will showcase its copper doped quartz fiber in vivo dosimeter. The dosimeter provides a real-time assessment of tissue exposure to radiation during radiodiagnostic and radiotherapeutic procedures.
Key features include: linear dose response from 1 to 1,000 monitor units; dose rate independence; uniform angular response; a diameter of 400 microns; a thin size allowing for insertion through a catheter to targeted tumor; the ability to be sanitized by autoclaving and discrimination of interference caused by Cerenkov radiation and fluorescence photons.
