Mon, 14 May 2007 05:37:52 +0200

Due to new technological advances with the optical plate and scintillator, all size sensors have increased "sensitivity," which allows a practitioner to decrease the radiation dose - up to 10% decrease for sizes 1 & 2 and 40% decrease for size 0 (depending on type and age of x-ray generator).

Genomic Test Could Help Detect Radioactivity Exposure From Terrorist Attacks

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 18:36:39 +0200

The new test scans thousands of genes from a blood sample to identify distinct genomic "signatures" reflecting varying radiation doses. Patients can then be handled according to whether they received no exposure to radiation, an intermediate level of exposure that may respond to medical therapies or an inevitably lethal dose.

New X-Ray Screen For Package And Baggage Screening

Sat, 10 Mar 2007 03:11:57 +0100

The high gain and improved resolution is achieved using a proprietary phosphor blend which results in 30% more light output than conventional rare earth based screens. Containing no cadmium, these screens comply with the RoHS Directive.

DNA test detects low-level uranium
