WHAT DOES DOSIMETRY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Dosimetry

Radiation dosimetry is the calculation and assessment of the ionizing radiation dose received by the human body due to both external irradiation and the ingestion or inhalation of radioactive materials. It is a scientific sub-specialty in the fields of health physics and medical physics. Internal dose is calculated from a variety of physiological techniques, whilst external dose is measured with a dosimeter or inferred from other radiological protection instruments. Dosimetry is used extensively for radiation protection and is routinely applied to occupational radiation workers, where a radiation dose is expected, but regulatory levels must not be exceeded. It is also used where radiation is unexpected, such as in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukishima radiological release incidents, where the public dose is measured and calculated from a variety of indicators such as ambient measurements of radiation and radioactive contamination. Other significant areas are medical dosimetry, where the required treatment dose and any collateral dose is monitored, and in environmental dosimetry, such as radon monitoring in buildings.

Definition of dosimetry in the English dictionary

The definition of dosimetry in the dictionary is the accurate measurement of doses, esp of radiation.
