Understanding How Dose Is Delivered to Your Product
Radiation dosimetry enables absorbed dose to be measured, evaluated and documented—providing the measurement foundation for irradiation process development, validation and routine processing.
From Radiation Exposure to Measurable Dose
Radiation cannot be evaluated simply by observing a product after processing. Dosimetry provides a measurable link between irradiation exposure and the absorbed dose delivered to the product.
Ionising Radiation
The product is exposed to ionising radiation during the irradiation process.
Energy Absorption
Radiation energy is absorbed as the product moves through the irradiation field.
Dosimeter Response
Placed dosimeters undergo a measurable response related to the absorbed radiation dose.
Measurement
The dosimeter response is measured using the applicable measurement system.
Dose Evaluation
Measurement results provide absorbed dose data for evaluation and documentation.
You Cannot Control What You Cannot Measure
Radiation dosimetry provides quantitative evidence of absorbed dose. This measurement information supports the development, validation, monitoring and evaluation of irradiation processes.
Where Dosimetry Supports the Irradiation Lifecycle
Radiation dosimetry is not limited to a single measurement or stage. It supports the irradiation process from initial development and validation through to routine commercial processing.
Process Development
Dosimetry supports the evaluation of irradiation conditions during product studies, technical trials and process development activities.
Process Validation
Dosimetry provides absorbed dose measurements used during dose mapping, validation studies and establishment of defined processing configurations.
Routine Processing
Dosimetry supports monitoring and documentation of absorbed dose during routine commercial irradiation processing.
Radiation Dosimetry
Providing absorbed dose measurement and data across different stages of the irradiation lifecycle.
