The Future of TLD Dosimetry: Sustaining Legacy Systems in a Changing Market
For over half a century, Thermoluminescent Dosimetry (TLD) has been a cornerstone of radiation monitoring across industries such as healthcare, nuclear energy, and research. Many organizations have relied on robust TLD platforms, including Panasonic’s widely used systems, to meet stringent regulatory compliance standards. However, as manufacturers phase out legacy dosimetry equipment, businesses face a growing challenge: how to maintain and extend the life of these critical systems without costly overhauls.
The Challenge: Navigating a Market Without Manufacturer Support
With certain TLD manufacturers ceasing production, including Panasonic, organizations must make critical decisions about their radiation monitoring infrastructure. Upgrading to entirely new dosimetry platforms can be an expensive and complex process, requiring new hardware, software, and staff retraining. Many institutions prefer to sustain their existing systems, yet the lack of new parts, technical support, and service programs makes this increasingly difficult.
