INSIDE HALF | See the Invisible

Scatter radiation is room-specific.
Your safety decisions should be too.

Inside Half models occupational scatter radiation in interventional labs - helping map where exposure may concentrate, which roles may be most affected, and which interventions may matter most.

The Problem

Radiation safety decisions are often made without a room-specific view of occupational exposure.

01

Capital decisions on shielding, layout, and equipment are often made without clear room-specific exposure impact evidence.

02

Standard safety protocols may not fully account for your room geometry, equipment configuration, or procedure mix.

03

Badge dosimetry captures cumulative dose, but it may not show where exposure concentrates in the room or why.

04

Scatter patterns change with geometry, source position, staff role, shielding, and procedure type. Every room is different.

How It Works

Model the room. Map the exposure. Compare interventions.

Step 01

Model the room

Room geometry, equipment configuration, and procedure mix are parameterized into a room-specific scatter model.

Step 02

Map the exposure

Scatter concentrations are modeled spatially - by staff role, position, and height plane.

Step 03

Compare interventions

Shielding, workflow, layout, and equipment options are evaluated side by side, with modeled impact estimated before budget is committed.

Decision Support

What you can decide.

Where is occupational exposure concentrating in this room?

Room-specific scatter modeling helps identify spatial hotspots by staff role and position — rather than relying only on generic tables or badge averages.

Which interventions are worth prioritizing?

Shielding, workflow adjustments, equipment positioning, and layout changes are evaluated side by side with estimated exposure impact before any budget is committed.

How do we justify action to safety and capital stakeholders?

The assessment is designed to support ALARA review, capital planning conversations, and safety committee discussions with room-specific documentation.

A room-specific assessment and action plan.
