Monitor staff radiation exposure with the RaySafe i3: Real-Time Personal Radiation Dosimetry
The RaySafe i3 system is the latest generation of the RaySafe radiation dosimetry family. As part of the RaySafe commitment to building a better radiation safety culture, we are proud to offer this real-time monitoring system that helps medical staff proactively monitor their radiation exposure and adapt their behavior to minimize unnecessary risk.
The system includes a set of the new RaySafe i3 real-time personal radiation dosimeters coupled with a display and software to provide a complete, immediate visual of radiation exposures.
Here's how the i3 works:
The real-time display shows dose data for connected dosimeters instantly. Green, yellow and red bars indicate the dose rate for each individual user; accumulated dose is displayed next to the bars. By tapping your name, more detailed information about your personal dose history can be accessed.

The dosimeter records X-ray radiation and communicates with the Real-time Display via radio. The dose rate is presented in real time on the display as does rate bars: green, yellow or red, depending on the intentsity.
Tap a dosimeter row on the Real-time Display to get more details.
To view measurements stored in a dosimeter, connect the dosimeter to a computer running Dost Viewer. Dost Viewer can also be used for changing dosimeter settings, such as name and annual dose limit.
Radiation measurements are simultaneously stored for post-procedure analysis, facilitating continued awareness and learning, as well as enabling long-term comparisons over time, between both labs and users.
