Please join us in welcoming Radiation Detection Company (RDC) as ORSIF's newest corporate sponsor. RDC has provided occupational dosimetry services since 1949 and recently introduced Radiant, a real-time dosimetry system built for the cath lab and other fluoroscopy-intensive settings. Thank you to Jacob Hartsfield, General Manager of Radiant, and Alastair Watson, Vice President of Marketing, for recognizing and supporting the mission.
Real-time visibility is a natural complement to ORSIF's work. Our members spend their careers beside the beam, and most of them learn what a case cost them only when a badge report arrives weeks later. A system that shows scatter exposure while the procedure is still underway gives a team something it can act on in the moment, which is exactly the kind of practical protection ORSIF exists to advance.
“Cath lab staff and interventionalists have carried the cumulative cost of scatter radiation for decades, often without knowing their real-time exposure until it's too late to act. Radiant was built to close that gap - giving clinicians live visibility into their radiation environment while a procedure is still underway, not weeks later on a badge report. We're proud to support an organization dedicated to keeping the people who protect patients safe themselves.”
– Jacob Hartsfield, General Manager, Radiant, Radiation Detection Company
“For most of the people ORSIF serves, the first honest look at what a case cost them has come weeks later on a badge report. Bringing that information into the room while the team can still do something about it is the kind of progress we hope to see across this field. We are glad to have Radiation Detection Company's seventy-seven years of dosimetry experience behind our mission.”
– Bob Foster, President, ORSIF
About Radiation Detection Company:
Founded in 1949, Radiation Detection Company is the longest-operating provider of occupational dosimetry services in the world. From its headquarters in Georgetown, Texas, RDC supports more than 41,000 organizations across healthcare, dental, veterinary, industrial, research and government settings, and processes over 2.5 million radiation badges a year.
Radiant, introduced in 2026, pairs wearable electronic dosimeters with a tablet display at the table, so each member of the team sees their dose rate and case dose as it accumulates, with readings that refresh every 0.2 seconds, rather than on a report weeks later. It was designed for cardiac catheterization labs, interventional radiology, vascular and electrophysiology suites, and other environments where scatter radiation is part of the daily routine.
