RADEAGLE State-of-the-Art Hand-Held, Radioisotope Identification Device

RADEAGLE State-of-the-Art Hand-Held, NaI Radioisotope Identification Device
  • Combining a large, high sensitivity crystal with an intelligent algorithm, the RADEAGLE can quickly, accurately, and simultaneously detect and identify four or more isotopes, typically in under 30 seconds.
  • ANSI 42.34 compliant, the RADEAGLE offers a user-friendly interface that is intuitive, simple to navigate, provides visually clarity, and utilizes an extensive array of alarms.
  • Supports a variety of scintillation crystals including NaI(Tl), CeBr3 and LaBr3(Ce) to optimize performance across multiple applications.
  • Incorporating decades of industry expertise in detection and identification algorithms along with advanced hardware, electrical, and software systems, the RADEAGLE is the hand-held RIID of choice.

    Intelligent Algorithm – Unparalleled Speed and Accuracy
    The RADEAGLE algorithm is unique, using a neuron ensemble to create a multi-agent system. This multi-agent system in turn uses a mimetic learning algorithm that adapts reference data to the unique signature of the detector’s sensors. While continuously measuring background radiation, this “neuro-spectroscopic brain,” delivers unparalleled speed and accuracy for detecting and identifying over 100 nuclides, exceeding ANSI 42.34 requirements.  

    Operating Modes
    The RADEAGLE uses five basic operating modes: Dose Rate, Detect, Easy-ID, Spectrum, and Advanced. These five simple modes gives the user full system control ranging from quick and accurate identification to extensive spectrum analysis to expert system configurations. 

    Application Centric Approach
    A key benefit of the RADEAGLE algorithm is its optimization for multiple real-world applications. Through extensive simulation, validated and refined with real world empirical testing, the RADEAGLE’s performance is tuned and optimized for key isotopes associated with SNM in the nuclear security and safeguards market, NORM and IND for environmental and industrial applications and MED for nuclear medicine. Underwater measurements are also supported with a submersible, NaI model.
