How to measure specific dose? I work with X Ray machines at the airport and I want to check the internal dose of the machines, how do I measure it?

The detector will show you the cumulative dose and you will be able to see how much radiation was absorbed during the specific time period. In order to measure the dose a radiation dosimeter has to be present. However, if an object absorbed a significant amount of radiation and became "radioactive", meaning the radiation is coming from the object, the SOEKS detector will be able to pick it up simply by getting the detector close enough to the object you'd like to measure. The other option is to measure a radiation background away and near the object, subtract two numbers - the difference is how much radiation the object emits.

I haven't tried to take it on an airplane but I don't think it would fit through the X-ray machine unfolded. It does fold relatively compactly so you could fold it then carry it through. But note that folding it requires two hands!!!

This works on all radio frequency. When my cell phone is idle at home (using WiFi for APPs), there is no radiation. But when my cell phone is in a call (need to transmit), this detector went all the way up to the top red LED. It's a great tool to measure radiation quickly. It didn't give me fine reading as that hundreds dollar detector I used in NASA/JSC, but it close matches the reading to that expensive detector.

Cell tower radiation may have higher frequency than the upper frequency limit of this meter, if this is the case, the reading would be lower than actual radiation intensity. If the cell tower frequency is lower than 3.5GHz, you could use it. You would need to contact the cell tower owner to know it's frequecy first.

We used it several times. Does what it says but but does not read radiation. Just EMF readings. It was not the item I thought I was purchasing. My bad. Need one that is actually made for reading radiation and those are usually more expensive. Other then that, it is good product.

I'm an x-ray technologist. X-rays do not remain in the body after exposure. The answer is "no".

You are looking at a low-frequency EMF meter. It measures EMF from mains electrical devices and other (very low frequency) EMF sources. You can use this type of meter to check EMFs from mains electricity, power lines, high voltage lines, electrical installations, sub-stations and transformers, house wiring, domestic electrical appliances TVs, computers, office equipment, factory machinery, vehicles (cars, trains etc). This meter is not designed to measure ionizing radiation (x-rays and gamma rays), or radio-frequency / microwave radiation, unless specifically stated.

Look at 1800homeopathy website re: dosing and advice for how to pick the most appropriate one for your needs.

I don't think so. For one thing the radiation administered is very low & short acting, second, the Radex is designed to detect gamma & beta radiation as per the manual that should have come with your unit.It will measure in both micro sieverts/h or sv/h & micro rems/Rem/h of radiation. While the dose is high enough to affect the cancer into which it's injected, it's not high enough to affect adjacent normal cells as it only penetrates about 11 mm.

I work in health care and we have walk in metal detector, and it does set it off. I would imagine that the ones airport would be more sensitive and should set it off. Also you must place wallets,belts and everthing in your pocket in a small box for the xray machine. According to several TSA and Police Officer from the city of Orlando, Florida yes they have seen this tool and removed it.

I don't think so. I'm pretty sure you need a different type of radiation detector. Look into an electromagnetic radiation detector.

Hi D.A. I have one (purchased through Amazon) and the 1503 is a fine little pocket Geiger counter. Be sure to read the manual and understand its operation --cumulative 160 second timed averaging in particular. In answer: while food that's 100 or 1000 times more radioactive than the "safe to eat" limit^ might be noticed when scanned with the RD-1503, no Geiger counter can read food or beverage as being safe, nor can specific isotopes be identified for sure. That takes training, discipline, seasoned experience and thousands of dollars worth of gamma spectrometry equipment. The FDA and your state health department should be doing this work --but they seem to not want to know --or want us to know. ^ Interestingly, Japan's limit for radioactivity in seafood is 100 Bq/kilogram, while ours and Canada's is 1200 Bq/kilogram. It would be a crying shame if our fishing industry got put out of business simply for lack of testing and/or consumer confidence.

Wrong type of device for what you want to test. This is a single use exposure dosimeter. You are looking for giger counter.

Sorry, I cannot answer your question with certainty as I have not gone through a metal detector at airport. That said, here is what I believe:(1) The amount of aluminum in one sleeve is so small I find it hard to believe it will trigger a metal detector(2) The sleeve will definitely show up as a suspecious item on a full body scanner used at most larhe US airports. If your sleeve is in a neck pouch or purse, it is recommended to let it go through the X-ray scanner( the moving belt ) instead of carry it with you through the body scanner. You can put your neck pouch back on your body once you have clear security checkpoint.Hope this help.

Well the only thing lining the inside is plaster, so if x-ray can see through plaster then no this will not pass customs.

How did you research? Where did you obtain proof? I asked the seller for info & they couldn't provide me with any proof in English that this doesn't come from an area affected by the radiation.
