Monitoring of Personnel
The monitoring checks the amount of X-ray radiation the personnel has been
exposed to. It determines safety of the operators and it helps checking if safety
measures of the X-ray environment are adequate. Inadequate or improper
protection can lead to serious damage to the health.
To measure radiation, personal radiation dosimeters are typically used. They
are worn on the body at all times during working in an environment where X-
ray radiation is applied. They provide an indication for the amount of
radiation the operator was exposed to.
