Fetal dosimetry monitoring provides an added layer of radiation dose tracking for declared pregnancies. ProxDose™ fetal badges integrate seamlessly into existing whole-body monitoring programs to support occupational safety, transparency, and compliance. Fetal monitoring helps facilities document fetal dose independently while maintaining continuity with established monitoring protocols.
Fetal badges are worn at the waist or abdomen, typically underneath protective garments. Monitoring begins following a declared pregnancy and continues according to facility policy and regulatory requirements.
Separate fetal dose reporting ensures clear documentation without altering the individual’s primary whole-body record.
