Radiation Protection
Radiation protection
To be able to build and keep a safe environment in hospitals and other facilities were X-ray is used, you need to know how much radiation a certain X-ray unit creates during the examinations. Only when this is known, the correct measures can be taken when it comes to the radiation protection of the room (shielding in the walls etc.).

The same dose probes can also be used for checking the leakage around the
X-ray tube.
