Helgeson - Model Quicky -Whole Body Counter for Internal Dosimetry

The Helgeson 'Quicky' In-Vivo Counter is designed to enhance health physics programs through efficient whole body counting. This device swiftly screens personnel, providing rapid results while maintaining accuracy for more precise outcomes through fixed counting times. Results are reliably documented, specifying subject identification, counting time, and recording in units such as Becquerel or Nano curies. This system streamlines regular counting protocols, potentially lowering associated costs. The 'Quicky' features intuitive software, complete with a menu-driven interface and a variety of operational programs, including a Quality Assurance module that monitors system electronics. It offers energy calibration capabilities to ensure uniformity and alignment with design specifications. The system supports data acquisition with continuous spectral display and analysis, providing calibration options for energy versus channel, efficiency, and FWHM versus channel. Operational management includes parameter modification and dose calculations as per ICRP guidelines, endorsed by the Spanish Nuclear Council. Physically, the system is robust, with dimensions of 230 cm by 90 cm by 130 cm, weighing approximately 3000 kg and operating on standard power requirements. It incorporates advanced detectors with precise resolution capabilities, all enclosed with protective steel or lead shielding.
