Preventing Too Much Radioactive Exposure - Rabbit(R) Helps To Battle Cancer

"We looked at other processors, but having memory and I/O, and a dedicated C compiler with examples made Rabbit the right choice" - Martin Brown, Best Medical Canada

One of the most effective methods to combat cancer and tumors is radiation therapy. Along with the benefits there also exists a significant level of risk, since too much radioactive exposure can cause new formations of cancer or even lead to death. In order to protect from over-exposure, a subspecialty called dosimetry calculates the radiation level of in a mass or tissue. Measurements are made with a device called MOSFET (Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor) dosimeter. Dosimeters have become widely popular for clinical use, especially with radiotherapy. With the help of the RCM3100 RabbitCore, Best Medical Canada is taking dosimetry to a whole new level.
