Protecting healthcare workers from radiation exposure

Radiation monitoring and ambient dosimetry

Professionals in nuclear medicine work in environments where the control of ionizing radiation is essential to ensure their safety and that of patients. Reliable and continuous radiation monitoring allows teams to identify risk areas, anticipate deviations and quickly implement appropriate radiation protection measures.
In this context, the RiumBox solution provides real-time monitoring of radiation levels in work areas, with centralized data storage for easy analysis and traceability. These devices integrate seamlessly into hospital organizations, particularly for high-activity nuclear medicine departments, and help reduce the workload of radiation protection teams.

Control of contamination of people and surfaces

The prevention of contamination is a central issue in the regulated areas of nuclear medicine centers. The systematic control of hands, feet and clothing before any exit from the area helps to limit the dispersion of radionuclides and to secure work circuits.
The HF-4 and HF-6 hand/foot contamination controllers ensure reliable detection of alpha, beta and gamma contamination, while providing a smooth operation suitable for high-traffic environments.
In addition, the portable SaphyRAD C multiprobe contaminameter allows for quick and targeted inspections on surfaces, furniture or workstations. Its versatility and speed of detection make it an essential tool for daily operational controls.

Radiological control of large areas

When the areas to be controlled are very extensive — entire departments, corridors or technical areas, RIV rooms —dedicated equipment are necessary to ensure effective control without burdening operations.
Complementing the SaphyRAD C and S, Bertin Nuclear’s FLOORSCAN solution enables fast, uniform radiological scanning of floors. It is particularly well suited to high-activity nuclear medicine centers, where the frequency of checks and the size of the areas to be monitored require high-performance, ergonomic tools.

Equipment suitable for multi-site organizations

Hospital groups and large organizations with several sites must be able to count on reliable and economically optimized solutions for their routine controls.
Instruments such as MiniTRACE, S10, S100, CSDF and PAM 100/170 meet these needs by offering simple, robust and proven solutions. They allow the harmonization of radiological control practices between different sites, while facilitating user training and equipment asset management.

Securing the flow and managing radioactive waste

Radioactive waste management is a critical step in nuclear medicine services. In order to ensure regulatory compliance and prevent any uncontrolled release of radioactive materials, dedicated detection solutions are implemented at the exit zone.

Detection portals for waste management allow automatic control of containers prior to disposal. Integrated into waste management circuits, they reinforce the overall safety of facilities and the protection of personnel, in line with regulatory requirements and good radiation protection practices.

Thanks to these cutting-edge technologies, Bertin Nuclear contributes to optimized management of occupational exposure risks, offering enhanced protection in work environments with high levels of radiation exposure.
