Mammography technology has evolved, but many radiation safety programs haven’t kept pace.

With DBT, CEM, and advanced biopsy workflows becoming standard, exposure patterns, scatter conditions, and compliance expectations are changing.

In a new blog, Chuck Nagel, Healthcare Business Partner at RDC, breaks down what imaging leaders, RSOs, and physicists must understand to protect staff and stay inspection-ready.

A dosimetry program is only as reliable as the controls in place before the first dose is ever recorded.

As RDC President, Chris Passmore, CHP, explains: "The industry often treats rereading as a safeguard. In reality, it is a diagnostic for reader performance, not a tool for validating dose."

In this new blog post, Chris explores the blind spots of rereading OSL dosimeters and explains why upstream accuracy – from bleaching and annealing to sensitivity calibration – is what truly safeguards workers and supports informed safety decisions.

Compliance alone doesn’t guarantee safety. The right personal radiation detector can transform your program – improving accuracy, strengthening oversight, and giving your team greater confidence in their exposure data.

Selecting the right solution depends on three key factors:
• Type of Radiation
• Operational Environment
• Data and Compliance Needs

Mirela Kirr, Senior Vice President of Operations & Technical Services, authored a comprehensive guide to help leaders evaluate today’s dosimetry options and understand how each device supports worker protection, program efficiency, and regulatory readiness.

When we shared a previous post about Webster calculations, the response made one thing clear: radiation safety leaders want an all-in-one, easy-to-reference resource.

So we created one, written by RDC President, Chris Passmore, CHP.

This free downloadable guide gives RSOs a clear, practical overview of Webster calculations – perfect for printing and adding to your radiation safety training materials.

Not all dosimeters meet NRC and state requirements for the legal dose of record, and not all environments need the same level of reporting speed or verification capability.

In this comprehensive guide, reviewed by Mirela Kirr, our Senior Vice President of Operations & Technical Services, we explain how TLDs, OSLs, semi-passive digital dosimeters like NetDose™, and active devices differ in terms of sensitivity, re-readability, accreditation, and operational impact.

This resource is a must-read for radiation safety officers building or optimizing their monitoring programs.

Between January and July of 2025, the NRC proposed fines totaling over $100,000 against various licensees for violations ranging from administrative oversights to critical safety lapses.

Violations related to the absence of qualified Radiation Safety Officers and inadequate procedural documentation suggest a trend toward stricter enforcement of administrative requirements – even when no overexposures occur.

Don’t wait for a notice of violation to tighten your safety program.
✅ Ensure your dosimetry program is compliant
✅ Confirm your RSO is properly credentialed
✅ Keep documentation audit-ready

☢️ Here's a haunting truth: accurate personnel dosimetry isn’t just about detector material, it’s also about how you handle depletion.

Inaccurate depletion handling can lead to some pretty spooky issues:
❗️ Underreporting at low doses – if the first read extracts too much signal
❗️ False consistency between multiple reads – if reproducible depletion is mistaken for validation
❗️ Inconsistent dose verification across badge exchanges or dose audits

🛡️ RDC President Chris Passmore, CHP, explores how BeO and Al₂O₃:C OSL detectors respond under strong-beam stimulation and why depletion correction defines true dosimetry accuracy in low-dose environments.

🤔 Which Webster is which? Do you know the difference between the original Webster calculation and the modified Webster?

🤷‍♂️ Or how the top three dosimetry providers (RDC, Landauer, and Mirion) differ in their vendor nomenclature?

🔎 Get clear guidance on which version to use and clarify how vendor shorthand differs with this insightful blog post by Chris Passmore, CHP.
