Real-Time Radiation Monitor Supports Safer Fluoroscopy-Guided Procedures

Fluoroscopy-guided procedures expose clinicians to scatter radiation that accumulates over time, creating persistent occupational risks in cath labs and interventional suites. Traditional badges typically report dose after a case, limiting opportunities to change technique in the moment. Teams need point-of-care visibility that supports immediate adjustments to positioning and shielding. A newly launched device now provides real-time radiation monitoring at the bedside to help reduce exposure during high-exposure procedures.

Radiation Detection Company (RDC; Georgetown, TX, USA) has introduced Radiant real-time dosimetry, a connected electronic dosimetry solution that gives clinicians immediate visibility into radiation levels during high-exposure medical procedures. The system is built for cardiac catheterization laboratories, interventional radiology, vascular and electrophysiology suites, and other fluoroscopy-intensive settings. RDC positions the launch as part of its focus on practical, clinically oriented occupational radiation safety.

Radiant differs from traditional monitoring approaches that primarily provide historical exposure information. Instead, it delivers real-time radiation exposure monitoring as procedures are taking place, allowing staff to see exposure dynamics while they work. This visibility is intended to support informed decisions regarding positioning, shielding, and workflow, reinforcing safer practices where exposure is highest.

Radiant also expands Radiation Detection Company’s portfolio, which includes passive dosimeter services, the NetDose digital dosimetry offering, the MyRadCare customer platform, and analytics and reporting capabilities. Together, these options give healthcare organizations flexible tools to manage occupational radiation monitoring programs alongside efforts in compliance, operational efficiency, and employee safety. 

“Radiation safety is most effective when clinicians have the information they need while they are caring for patients. Radiant delivers that visibility with dose information updated every 0.2 seconds, five times faster than any other device in the marketplace, along with exceptional sensitivity and accuracy across the full range of scatter radiation. It gives clinical teams a clearer picture of their radiation environment when it matters most,” said Jacob Hartsfield, General Manager for Radiant at Radiation Detection Company.
