Dosimetry

Dosimetry

The Office of Radiation Safety provides radiation dosimetry devices to monitor personnel occupational exposures. These come in the form of whole body (Luxel/TLD) badges and ring/extremity badges.

Designated badge coordinators or the PI request badges on behalf of their group. If you believe you should have a badge and do not, please contact your PI/badge coordinator to request one.

If you know or suspect that you are pregnant, you may choose to declare your pregnancy. By declaring your pregnancy, you will receive a fetal badge which will be worn on your abdomen to track any dose to the fetus directly. Additionally, your dose limit will be reduced for the duration of the pregnancy.

In order to declare your pregnancy, a written form will need to be submitted to the Office of Radiation Safety
