beta particle dosimetry

Beta particle dosimetry involves measuring and understanding the amount of radiation dose delivered by beta particles, which are high-energy electrons emitted from certain radioactive materials. This process helps determine how much radiation a person or object absorbs, enabling safe exposure levels and effective treatment planning. It considers factors like the energy of the beta particles, the distance they travel in tissue, and the material they pass through. Accurate dosimetry ensures that radiation is used safely in medical treatments, such as radiotherapy, and that exposure limits are maintained to protect health.
