The University of Wisconsin Medical Radiation Research Center (UWMRRC) is a non-profit education and research-oriented service laboratory. The UWMRRC is part of the Medical Physics Department at the UW Madison and is the only non-government research program dedicated to radiation metrology. Comprehensive calibration services are provided for most radiation measurement instrumentation utilized in the medical or health physics community.
The UWMRRC has three primary objectives: 1) Educate and train graduate students in the Medical Physics Department, 2) Conduct research in ionizing radiation metrology, 3) Provide accurate and precise calibrations for radiation measurement instrumentation and sources.
The UWMRRC is the only non-government research program dedicated to radiation metrology.
