Radiology
Monitor entrance & exit patient dose and intracavitary dose to phantoms in real-time.
MOSFET dosimeters are tiny sensors that detect patient radiation
dose during Diagnostic Radiology procedures. They are easily placed on the patient and are not obtrusive to the beam (they are almost invisible on the image). These dosimeters can be placed in various locations on the body (e.g. eye, thyroid, lung) in order to determine the exact dose given to the patient or inside a QA phantom (as opposed to measuring the output from the machine).
Best Medical Canada has officially released our latest software designed specifically for use in radiology. Named Dxposure Software, it allows easy dose verification during CT, X-ray and fluoroscopy procedures. Its report generation capability allows user to print, save and export dose records for legal purposes and for tracking accumulative dose history.

The MOSFET Dosimeter
- Isotropic response of ±3% for 360°
- Linear dose response
- Active region of 0.2 x 0.2 mm
- Standard size is 2mm wide
- microMOSFET is 1mm wide
- Dose-rate and temperature independent
- Unobtrusive in procedures (visualization markers available)
- Lightweight and flexible
Available in Standard and High Sensitivities
See Technical Note #7 for
more details
- Measure effective dose to patients
- Measure cumulative skin dose to patients, e.g. Children undergoing CT or cardiac catheterization are at a greater risk than adults for developing cancer
- Measure dose to patients undergoing Radiology exams, e.g. X-rays & Fluoroscopy guided treatments (Cardiac Catheterization cases)
- Measure dose to phantoms for CT Dose Indexing / organ dose
- Minimize liability
- Unobtrusive to the patients and staff
- Instant dose read-out
- Not visible in most X-ray images
- One system can serve up to 4 labs/treatment rooms
- Multiple dose points (up to 20) for Phantom measurements
- Print and/or save dose report electronically for documenting patient dose and for patient files
