RADIATION DOSIMETER

Team 12Tiffany Corbett, Loren Paulsen, Matt Reeves

Introduction to Technology

Measure of “hot particle” dose

3 layer analysis

3 Layer Analysis Shallow dose

70 microns – dead layer of skin surface Biologically important

1,000 microns – Melanoma occurs Eye dose

3,000 microns – cornea thickness Deep dose

10,000 microns – possible removal of skin

Differentiators Attributes

Quick and accurateDigital versus analogueNo calibration and low voltage requiredType of radiation does not matterThree depth measurement

BenefitsLimited skill level needed for operationMedical diagnosis delay shortenedMinimize damage costsIncrease worker safety procedures

Staging Timing

Scientific development is still on-going

1 to 3 years to market Prioritize potential markets

Nuclear Power PlantsMedical facilities with diagnostic equipmentFirst Responders and Hazmat workersMilitary field operations

Economic Logic Business model

Outsourcing to limit capital requirementsService through training to ensure accuracy

Customer returnDamage cost reductions

○ Workman’s comp claims○ Patient malpractice lawsuits

Profit potentialHigh selling priceService feesCaptive customer for generational improvements

Major Hurdles Regulation language

Preferred, accepted, required Demonstrating cost/benefit

Settlement figures Expanding the market

Lack of sophisticated detection devices in the medical industry
