The M3D RAVIN CAM is a portable camera with a dosimeter that captures real-time radiation images, designed for use in the Nuclear Medicine department, but also suitable for production sites and hot labs. The M3D RAVIN CAM radiation monitoring equipment detects multiple isotopes, has an energy resolution of ~1%, and operates in the 30–662 keV energy range. Thanks to the CZT detector (>19 cm³), the M3D RAVIN CAM can visualize contamination and hotspots from a distance of up to 15 meters, with a dose accuracy of ±10% at 662 keV.
It is ideal for use in routine contamination checks, patient discharge following radionuclide therapy, decontamination after nuclide therapy, and in the event of unplanned incidents where rapid assessment is essential. This technology (originally developed for homeland security) enhances efficiency and safety in clinical settings.
In short:
A powerful and user-friendly tool that provides real insight into radiation sources—thereby improving safety and compliance.
The M3D RAVIN CAM combines real-time radiation imaging with spectroscopy in a single compact system. This not only detects the presence of radiation, but also identifies the source’s location and the specific radioisotope involved. This helps healthcare providers and staff respond more quickly and effectively during examinations, treatments, or incidents.
The camera was developed for applications in nuclear medicine, but is also used in hotlabs, production sites, and other controlled environments where radioactive materials are handled. Thanks to its portable design weighing just 2.3 kilograms, the system is easy to transport between different rooms or departments. The pixelated CZT detector, measuring over 19 cm³, makes it possible to visualize contamination and hotspots from a distance of up to approximately 15 meters. This offers advantages during contamination investigations, shielding surveys, and situations where employees prefer to maintain a greater distance from the radiation source.
In radionuclide therapy, the M3D RAVIN CAM can be used for patient discharge, monitoring residual activity, and visualizing potential extravasation during treatments with isotopes such as Lu-177 and I-131. In addition, the system assists with decontamination procedures and unexpected incidents that require rapid assessment. The camera also provides additional insight during shielding surveys. Weak spots in shielding, leaks, or scattered radiation can be detected and assessed more quickly, further reducing risks to staff and patients.
The M3D RAVIN CAM is used for contamination checks, shielding surveys, radionuclide therapy, patient clearance, and the detection of radioactive hotspots in nuclear medicine and hot labs.
The system supports multiple isotopes within an energy range of 30 to 662 keV, including Lu-177, I-131, F-18, and Tc-99m.
The dose accuracy is ±10% at 662 keV.
Real-time imaging immediately shows where radioactivity is located. This allows for faster detection of contamination and enables staff to take more targeted action during inspections or incidents.
The camera can detect clusters and hotspots from a distance of up to approximately 15 meters, depending on the activity and situation.
Yes, the M3D RAVIN CAM helps detect leaks, weak spots, and scattered radiation around treatment rooms, hot labs, and shielded areas.
