Real-time video radiation exposure monitoring system

摘要

A real-time video radiation exposure monitoring system comprising a Geiger-Müeller meter and a video camera linked to a computer programmed to display video images from the camera simultaneously with data from the Geiger-Müeller meter. A radio modem provides wireless data communications between the Geiger-Müeller and the computer. One aspect of the invention is a retrofit of a conventional Geiger-Müeller meter to include a microcontroller with internal A/D converter enabling the meter to output instantaneous measurements in RS-232 serial format.
