The whole body monitor uses Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology to measure potential occupational doses from gamma radiation and X-rays.
Who is the OSL monitor for?
The OSL monitor is suited for workers in the following occupations who may need to be monitored:
- radiology
- radiotherapy
- nuclear medicine
- dental
- chiropractic
- veterinary
- industrial radiography
- mining
- research
- education.
How long is the monitoring cycle?
Monitoring cycles of 4 or 12 weeks are offered.
How much does it cost?
The cost of the monitor is $15.40* inc GST.
How is it worn?
The monitor is worn at chest or waist level.
What does it measure?
| OSL | |
|---|---|
| Directly Measures | skin dose - Hp(0.07) whole body dose - Hp(10) |
| Minimum Detectable Dose (MDD) | 50 µSv |
| Minimum Reportable Dose (MRD)* | 100 µSv |
| Uncertainty at the MRD** | 30% |
* MRD is based on the Limit of Quantification as defined by “Determination and Interpretation of Characteristic Limits for Radioactivity Measurements” (IAEA/AQ/48)
** Uncertainty at the MRD is based on the 95% confidence limit

Monitor usage
The whole body monitor uses the latest Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) technology for measuring beta radiation and photons. It directly measures whole body dose in Hp(10) and skin dose in Hp(0.07).
Each monitor is individually barcoded and carries the printed name of the wearer and other identifier information. Our OSL monitor is a lightweight design built for durability. It is designed to simply clip and go and is worn on the chest or waist.
