The National Institutes of Health awarded a Phase I SBIR grant to CPG to develop a radiation dosimeter. This system will extend the range of measured radiation dose well beyond the saturation limit of conventional photochromic dye dosimeters. For more information about this project, contact Dr. Gavin Braithwaite (617) 629-4400 ext. 11.
