Software
Direct measurements are only part of the complete Health Physics solution.
Comprehensive software tools offer capabilities above and beyond the basic instrument
functionality described in the other sections of this catalog. Accurate assessment of
dose requires computations - both to assess actual dose to individuals and to model the
dose characteristics of a particular radioactive environment for purposes of radiation
protection and ALARA planning. A small investment in planning can yield a major benefit
in terms or reduced dose. Instrument data needs to be constantly monitored to facilitate
evacuation and other corrective action in the event of unexpected radiation levels.
Instrument output needs to be recorded and managed for instrument performance and long
term radiation level assessment. Worker dose records need to be maintained for site
access control and regulatory compliance.
CANBERRA offers software solutions to these needs - all developed to the highest
quality standards and fully supported with a comprehensive set of database
management, training, installation and customization services.
