Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQ
What is MOSkin?
MOSkin is a miniature, wireless dosimetry sensor that measures true skin dose in real time at the point of treatment. Originally developed for space missions and adapted for clinical use, it delivers fast, accurate dose verification that supports safer, more confident care.
How does MOSkin work?
A miniaturized MOSFET sensor sits directly on the skin and provides instant skin-level dose readings, along with dose-at-depth measurements equivalent to familiar clinical methods.
What clinical problems does MOSkin solve?
Traditional skin-dose measurement tools are often slow, wired, or imprecise. MOSkin provides immediate, point-of-treatment verification that reduces uncertainty, supports safer workflows, and improves efficiency.
Is MOSkin available in the United States?
Yes. MOSkin is FDA-cleared, and Electrogenics Laboratories operates under an ISO 13485–certified quality system.
Who is MOSkin for?
MOSkin is used by Medical Physicists, Radiation Therapists, Radiation Oncologists, and Dermatologists.

What markets does MOSkin serve today?
MOSkin is focused on U.S. clinical adoption first, with global expansion planned.
How It Works - Technical Workflow FAQ
How long does the complete workflow take?
From setup to results takes only minutes. MOSkin delivers dose verification immediately after treatment, allowing clinicians to confirm readings without waiting for off-site processing.
Can MOSkin be used with immobilization devices?
Yes. The sensor’s thin, flexible profile allows it to fit comfortably beneath most immobilization devices without affecting setup or patient comfort.
How many sensors can be used at once?
Multiple sensors may be used simultaneously depending on clinical need, treatment site, and the verification objectives of the session.
Do sensors require sterilization between uses?
No. Sensors are designed to be single-use.
Where does the reader need to be positioned?
The reader does not need to be physically adjacent to the patient. The reader should be located in a nearby location, such as a control room.
Clinician FAQ (Medical Physicists, RTTs, ROs, Dermatologists)
How accurate is MOSkin?
MOSkin’s skin-dose and dose-at-depth measurements align with established clinical standards, offering high precision with faster results.
Does the sensor affect patient comfort or perturb the beam?
No. Its ultra-thin, flexible design minimizes interference with treatment delivery and maintains comfort even during longer sessions.
How is MOSkin placed?
The sensor is applied directly to the skin using a low-profile adhesive. Placement is consistent, fast, and suitable for both flat and curved anatomy.
Can MOSkin measure dose at depth?
Yes. MOSkin provides equivalent dose-at-depth measurements without requiring complex reconstruction.
