THYMON
PORTABLE THYROID MONITOR FOR EMERGENCY USE

THYMON is a compact NaI(Tl)-based detector specifically conceived tofast, yet reliably, measure I-131 contamination in thyroid. Its compactness, ruggedness, light-weight, together with its simple and intuitive built-in software interface, make the device perfectly suited for emergency screening applications.

The instrument can be used either hand-held or hands-free.

The instrument is composed by three main subparts:

  • Detector probe: a 1.5” x 1.5” collimated NaI(Tl) crystal coupled to a SiPM matrix and extremely compact readout electronics and MCA
  • Extendable support: designed as both table-top and standalone, providing the possibility of hands-free operation
  • Control tablet: IP65 water- and dust-proof 8” capacitive screen, wired-connected to the probe

 
The mechanics of the probe is specifically conceived to ensure the best alignment between the probe and the thyroid, guaranteeing excellent crystal-to-thyroid alignment, and reducing positioning uncertainties.

The control and analysis software installed on the control tablet is designed to be simple and intuitive, yet advanced and comprehensive. This is accomplished by combining a simple and intuitive interface with advanced calculation routines, which run automatically as the measurement start, without the need of operator intervention.

Data are stored locally on the tablet internal memory, and can be analysed and downloaded with dedicated software routines.
