"Ionizing radiation from CT is a known carcinogen," the authors claimed. CT (often pronounced as “cat”) scans use a mix of X-ray and computer technology to provide detailed images of the body ...

More Americans are receiving computed tomography (CT) scans than ever before, and while this technology can save lives, some ...

UNSCEAR is directed to assemble, study and disseminate information on observed levels of ionizing radiation and radioactivity (natural and man-made) in the environment, and on the effects of such ...

THE Hazardous Substances Regulatory Authority (HSRA) is intensifying its call for all facilities and professionals using ionising radiation to obtain official authorisation. This is in keeping with ...

Our new study of the nearby starburst galaxy Haro 11 has shown that strong X-ray-emitting superwinds may be a key mechanism ...

The risk from a single scan is low - but not zero. And the younger the patient, the greater the risk. Children and teenagers ...

Each voltage pulse corresponds to one ionising radiation entering the GM tube. The voltage pulse is amplified and counted. The greater the level of radiation, the more ionisation in the tube so ...

Scientists have developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that comprehensively detects all types of ionizing radiation. The device can be used by industrial and medical ...

Designed for extreme environments and conditions, radiation-hardened MOSFETs are available from 100 Krad to 300 Krad Total ...

Radiation exposure is a major occupational hazard for healthcare professionals working in medical imaging, interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, and other radiation-intensive fields. Prolonged ...
