Varskin - An Introduction to the SkinDose Module

23 November 2023


This webinar explained the basics of using the SkinDose module within Varskin+; the video can be found at the bottom of this page.  It:

-              explained where to get the Varskin+ software and what the SkinDose module does
-              described the SkinDose user interface and its input parameters, including some of the areas to watch out for
-              demonstrated several worked examples typical of work in the education sector
-              provides additional sources of help to get you started with using Varskin+

This was an introductory session and didn't require prior knowledge of the software and is even for those that have used SkinDose in Varskin+ before, who may still learn a few things.
