Project Details

Ceiling radiation monitor for patient monitoring

The Southern Scientific ceiling radiation monitor has been developed to provide activity monitoring of therapy patients following administration of radioactive therapeutic treatment.

Typically the monitoring detector(s) is mounted in the ceiling above the patient bed (generally behind the ceiling tiles). A lead shield is used to collimate the detector to improve measurement response.

The system is available with a range of optional detector configurations, the selection of which is dependent on the application. i.e. the isotope of interest, the expected activity range and the distance to the patient bed.

Ceiling radiation monitor key advantages:

  1. To follow ALARA regarding unnecessary exposure to staff
  2. Improve security and safety – with the assurance that the patient is resident in the therapy ward
