The Importance of Dosimetry in Radiological Safety
Although ionizing radiation is widely used in medical, industrial, and scientific fields, it can have harmful effects if not properly monitored. The absorption of high doses can cause acute damage to organic tissues and increase the risk of stochastic effects such as genetic mutations and neoplasms. Dosimetry makes it possible to keep exposure levels within acceptable limits, preventing potential negative consequences for public health, workers, and ecosystems.”
Dosimetry is an essential tool for ensuring compliance with national and international regulations, such as those established by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Continuous monitoring helps prevent excessive exposure and optimizes radiation protection procedures, improving the management of radiation sources while minimizing exposure to ionizing radiation.
Areas of Application
Healthcare
- Monitoring exposure for radiologists, radiology technicians, nuclear medicine staff, surgeons, and healthcare workers operating in environments at risk of radiation exposure.
- Controlling doses received by patients undergoing diagnostic exams and radiotherapy treatments.
- Verifying shielding of radiological equipment and ensuring the safety of work environments.
Industry
- Monitoring radiation used in production processes.
- Tracking exposure during non-destructive testing (NDT).
- Ensuring safety for workers handling radioactive materials.
Research Laboratories
- Controlling environmental radioactivity in laboratories.
- Monitoring exposure of researchers handling radionuclides and particle accelerators.
- Preventing accidental release of radioactive substances.
Environmental Monitoring
- Analyzing radioactivity in workplaces and public spaces.
- Monitoring radon gas in residential and commercial buildings.
- Controlling radioactive contamination in industrial sites.
Dosimetry Monitoring and Management: The Webdosis Platform
LB Servizi has developed Webdosis, an advanced digital platform for the integrated management of dosimetric data. This innovative system allows real-time access to exposure data, electronic management of the Personal Dosimetry Record, and regulatory communications with the Competent Physician and oversight authorities. Traceability of exposures enables targeted corrective actions and continuous improvement of safety protocols.
The adoption of a digital system for dosimetric monitoring not only ensures greater accuracy and organization in data collection, but also helps reduce the environmental impact associated with the use of paper documentation. In this way, the management of radiological safety aligns with sustainability principles, contributing to the protection of ecosystems and the reduction of waste.”
