Renaissance Whole Body Counting Software is a high-performance gamma spectroscopy platform specifically designed for internal contamination monitoring and whole-body counting applications.

It serves as the core software for health physics and radiation protection programs, enabling accurate detection, identification, and quantification of radioactive materials within the human body.

The software supports a wide range of system configurations, including:

• Fixed-position detectors
• Multi-detector arrays
• Automated scanning systems (chair, bed, stand-up counters)

Renaissance combines data acquisition, detector control, and advanced spectral analysis into a unified platform, allowing users to efficiently manage both routine screening and detailed investigations.

A key strength of the system is its dual-interface architecture:

• Operator Mode → Simplified workflow for routine measurements with minimal training
• Supervisor Mode → Advanced tools for system configuration, calibration, and in-depth spectral analysis

The software integrates powerful analysis engines optimized for different measurement scenarios, enabling accurate results across:

• Complex spectra with multiple radionuclides
• Simple screening measurements
• Low-resolution NaI-based systems

In addition, Renaissance provides extensive correction and calibration capabilities, including:

• Background subtraction
• Peak deconvolution and overlap correction
• Attenuation correction (e.g., tissue/muscle effects)
• Automatic energy calibration and gain stabilization

With built-in quality assurance, audit-ready reporting, and secure user management, the platform ensures that all results are accurate, traceable, and compliant with international standards.
