Re: personal detectors/dosimeters

["Robert Feldman" <rfeldman@ccbh.org>]

A question for the group: does anyone have opinions on currently 

available "radiation pagers," keyfob gamma detectors, or area alarms 

suitable for use at a trauma center? I want to upgrade our current 

pocket chamber dosimeters to allow automatic alarming at selected 

personnel dose limits. I also would like to have some always-on, 

automatic gamma detection alarm so that any contaminated patient 

arriving as a trauma victim (e.g., RDD not appreciated in field, pt. 

brought in as regular trauma patient) will be detected, and 

contamination contained.



Thanks,
