1. Dosimetry

   Radiation dosimetry in the fields of health physics and radiation protection is the measurement, calculation and assessment of the ionizing radiation dose absorbed by an object, usually the human body. This applies both internally, due to ingested or inhaled radioactive substances, or externally due to irradiation by sources of radiation. Internal dosimetry assessment relies on a variety of monitoring, bio-assay or radiation imaging techniques, whilst external dosimetry is based on measurements with a dosimeter, or inferred from measurements made by other radiological protection instruments. Dosimetry is used extensively for radiation protection and is routinely applied to monitor occupational radiation workers, where irradiation is expected, or where radiation is unexpected, such as in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima radiological release incidents. The public dose take-up is measured and calculated from a variety of indicators such as ambient measurements of gamma radiation, radioactive particulate monitoring, and the measurement of levels of radioactive contamination. Other significant areas are medical dosimetry, where the required treatment absorbed dose and any collateral absorbed dose is monitored, and in environmental dosimetry, such as radon monitoring in buildings.

1. dosimetry

   Dosimetry is the science and practice of measuring and assessing the dosage of an absorbed dose of ionizing radiation or radiation exposure. It applies to both the environment and in healthcare settings, where the level of radiation is measured to ensure it remains within the necessary and safe limits. This measure is crucial in fields like radiation therapy, nuclear industry, radiological protection and health physics.

1. Dosimetry

   Radiation dosimetry is the measurement and calculation of the radiation dose in matter and tissue resulting from the exposure to indirect and direct ionizing radiation. It is a scientific subspecialty in the fields of health physics and medical physics that is focused on the calculation of internal and external doses from ionizing radiation. There are a number of different measures of radiation dose, including absorbed dose measured in grays, Equivalent dose measured in sieverts, Effective dose and Kerma measured in grays, along with dose area product and dose length product. Each measure is often simply described as ‘dose’, which can lead to confusion. Non-SI units are still prevalent as well, where dose is often reported in rads and dose equivalent in rems. By definition, 1 Gy = 100 rad and 1 Sv = 100 rem. In the United States, radiation dosimeters measure and display dose in rems rather than sieverts. One rem = 1 centisievert = 1/100 sievert.
