Dosimeter Types

 

There are two types of dosimeters used here at the University of Utah.

 The Luxel® - This type is worn as either a whole body badge, a waist badge, or a badge worn at the collar.  The whole body badge is worn between the shoulders and waist with the person icon facing outward. The collar is to be worn outside of a lead apron to estimate exposure to the lens of the eyes. The waist badge is worn in conjunction with the collar badge and is worn under the lead apron.
