Health physics systems are integrated radiation measurement solutions designed for direct detection and quantification of radioactive materials within the human body.

These systems play a critical role in radiation protection programs, enabling organizations to monitor personnel exposure, assess internal contamination, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on biological sample analysis (e.g., urine or blood), these systems provide fast, non-invasive, and real-time results, making them significantly more efficient and safer for routine monitoring.

ORTEC Health Physics Systems utilize advanced gamma spectroscopy technology to detect radionuclides emitting gamma radiation. By positioning the subject in optimized geometries (standing, seated, or lying down), the system can determine both:

• Presence of radioactive material
• Distribution within the body

The systems are highly configurable and support:

• NaI detectors → fast screening with high efficiency
• HPGe detectors → high-resolution isotope identification

All configurations are powered by Renaissance software, which provides:

• Automated measurement workflows
• Advanced spectral analysis
• Compliance-ready reporting

This combination allows users to perform both:

• Routine personnel monitoring (e.g., nuclear workers)
• Detailed investigations (e.g., suspected contamination cases)

With flexible system designs and scalable performance, Health Physics Systems can be deployed in:

• Small screening stations
• Full-scale whole-body counting laboratories
