Monitoring radioactivity
Bertin radioactivity monitoring instruments can locate radioactive sources and control the contamination in a hospital environment to improve the safety of medical workers and visitors.
Medical diagnostic and therapeutic techniques regularly make use of unsealed radioactive sources which can easily be dispersed and can go on to contaminate equipment, surfaces and people.
Bertin products are developed using Saphymo expertise to meet the technical requirements of the nuclear medicine, medical imaging and radiotherapy sectors. Our competitively-priced instruments can be adapted to all applications for detecting and locating radioactive sources, by monitoring contamination on surfaces and in waste from radioactive clinical processes. Our products range from gantries for monitoring radioactivity in containers, to portable multifunction dosage and contamination measuring instruments, to provide comprehensive monitoring of people, waste and the hospital environment.

Related Applications
Zoning
Identifying zones which are at risk of radiation is a major issue for medical facilities using radioactive sources on a daily basis. Health workers have to be aware of these zones in order to protect themselves and limit contamination.
Scanning for radioactive sources
Biomedical waste can be a source of radioactivity, as radioactive sources are used during medical treatments. Scanning for these sources within batches of biomedical waste is essential for locating at-risk waste.
Monitoring radioactive contamination
Within medical facilities, the frequent handling of radioactive sources can cause surfaces and people to become contaminated by these sources. It is therefore important to be able to detect this contamination to act quickly and limit any exposure.
Radiological Output check
Biomedical waste which is treated externally to medical facilities must be checked as it leaves to make sure there are no sources of radiation. Bertin Medical Waste offers solutions for carrying out these checks which are totally safe for operators and the environment.
