Fleischer said there are several benefits to using the eyeglasses as personal dosimeters:
2.
A wide range of ionization chamber, film badge, and thermoluminescent personal dosimeters are available.
3.
People in occupational contact with radioactive substances or who may be exposed to radiation routinely carry personal dosimeters.
4.
The Radiation Dosimetry Laboratory calibrates, distributes, and manages over 70, 000 Electronic Personal Dosimeters for radiation workers and first responders worldwide.
5.
This would generally only be used if personal dosimetry had not been issued, or a personal dosimeter has been damaged or lost.
6.
In many countries personal dosimeters are not required to be used by radiographers as the dose rates they show are not always correctly recorded.
7.
A number of electronic devices known as Electronic Personal Dosimeters ( EPDs ) have come into general use using semiconductor detection and programmable processor technology.
8.
Personal dosimeters have been used for decades to measure exposure to certain radioactive particles such as gamma rays, but the idea of a radon gauge is new, Field said.
9.
The film badge is still widely used, but is being replaced by thermoluminescent dosimeters ( TLDs ), aluminium oxide based dosimeters, and the electronic personal dosimeter ( EPD ).
10.
The ICRP states that if a personal dosimeter is worn on a position on the body representative of its exposure, assuming whole-body exposure, the value of personal dose equivalent Hp ( 10 ) is sufficient to estimate an effective dose value suitable for radiological protection.
