  • SSPM-based optical fiber radiation dosimeter

    Creator:
    Konnoff, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Current state-of-the-art environmental, clinical, and in-vivo radiation sensing systems utilizing various inorganic and tissue-equivalent plastic scintillators are not user friendly, suffer from electron-beam-generated noise, and are difficult to deploy successfully for real-time dosimetry. A robust, real-time detection system using different scintillating materials coupled to solid-state detectors by optical fibers is...

  • Radiation dose and risk in interventional neuroradiology

    Creator:
    Magill, Dennise M.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Exposure from medical radiation sources are on the rise in the United States. Often the highest potential source of radiation dose to patients and radiology staff occur during interventional radiology procedures performed using fluoroscopy and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) to provide image guidance in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Several...

  • Experimental shielding evaluation of the radiation protection provided by residential structures

    Creator:
    Dickson, Elijah D.
    Abstract:
    The human health and environmental effects following a postulated accidental release of radioactive material to the environment has been a public and regulatory concern since the early development of nuclear technology and researched extensively to better understand the potential risks for accident mitigation and emergency planning purposes. The objective of...
