Dosimetry

Dosimetry is the science of measuring and assessing radiation doses received by individuals or materials. It plays a crucial role in fields such as medicine, where it helps ensure that patients receive the correct amount of radiation during treatments like X-rays or cancer therapy. Dosimeters, which are devices that detect and measure radiation exposure, are used to monitor safety levels for workers in nuclear industries and hospitals. By accurately tracking radiation exposure, dosimetry helps protect health and ensure that radiation is used effectively and safely.
