Medical dosimetry is the calculation of absorbed dose and optimization of dose delivery in radiation therapy. It is often performed by a professional health physicist with specialized training in that field.

Clinical medical dosimetrists will typically specialize in one or more of the following types of radiation: External Beam Radiation Therapy- radiation delivered from outside the body to the tumor or treatment area.. Photon therapy- administered by a machine called a linear accelerator, which is a sophisticated device that produces high energy therapeutic x-rays that are used to …

Dosimetry for RPT requires a fundamentally different approach to that used for diagnosis. In diagnostic nuclear medicine, dosimetry is used primarily to evaluate the risk of cancer associated with the imaging procedure.

dosimetry，英语单词，主要用作名词，作名词时译为“[临床] 剂量学；放射量测定”。

2024年4月9日 · Internal Dosimetry is the process of measuring radiation exposure if and when radiation is inhaled, ingested, or entered into the body through anything from a wound to an injection of something used to treat cancer. Experts will need to determine the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE) to understand the level of exposure that occurred.

Medical Dosimetry, the official journal of the American Association of Medical Dosimetrists, is the key source of information on new developments for the medical dosimetrist. Practical and comprehensive in coverage, the journal …

In dosimetry, two key quantities are essential for understanding and assessing the impact of ionising radiation on matter and living organisms: the absorbed dose (D) and the equivalent dose (H). These quantities provide a standardised way to quantify the potential biological effects of different types of radiation, allowing for informed ...

2023年3月24日 · The Dosimetry Group advances the measurement of quantities important in the radiological sciences through programs in the dosimetry of x-rays, gamma-rays, electrons, and other charged particles

2016年11月3日 · Measurement of quality and quantity of ionizing radiation, referred to as radiation dosimetry, is the most important area of medical physics, essentially its “raison d’être”.

Traditional dose calculation algorithms have calculated dosimetry for standard phantoms - human models with known geometries. More recently, with the development of Monte Carlo and dose point kernel techniques, patient specific dosimetry is beginning to be studied and employed.
